The WA-84 sports a fully discrete signal path, a CineMag USA transformer, Fairchild transistors, and Wima capacitors. The WA-84 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on a variety of instruments and sources, such as; acoustic\/electric guitars, acoustic\/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass &amp; woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.<\/p>\n<p>The WA-84 has a very LARGE sound for it\u2019s small size and uniquely uses a heavy Nickel CineMag signal transformer in it\u2019s signal path to warm up and ENLARGE sound sources. Small diaphragm condenser microphones have widely moved to transformer-less technology in recent years for ease and lower-cost manufacturing. When designing the WA-84, however, we chose to go the extra mile and take the classic route by tackling a more boutique design known for it\u2019s it\u2019s crystal clear, yet smooth LARGE sound.<\/p>\n<p>We are proud to offer something special to the market-place by using large core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone package. The result is a circuit that we feel sounds absolutely gorgeous and goes the extra mile in terms of signal integrity and smooth boutique tone.<\/p>\n<p>The WA-84 is offered in both nickel and black colors and in single and stereo pair quantities.<\/p>\n<p><b>Price and availability:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Single &#8211; $ 399 USD | 449 \u20ac INC VAT<br \/>\nStereo Pair &#8211; $ 749 USD | 849 \u20ac INC VAT<\/p>\n<p>Available March 2019.
