  1. Legendary Roots

    The WA-84 is a precise reproduction of the industry standard small-diaphragm condenser mic. Unlike modern transformerless recreations, vintage units are prized for the rich & detailed tone that delivers smooth yet detailed high end. Like the original, the WA-84 delivers that signature SDC sound trusted by artists and engineers on legendary recordings by James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Steve Gadd and many more.

  2. Clear, Focused Tone

    Like the original vintage units, the WA-84 delivers open clarity with powerful noise rejection. Unlike modern reissues that skip the transformer and “update” the circuit, the WA-84 captures creamy smooth top-end and the BEEFY mid to bottom-end that made the original the studio legend that it is. The class-A circuitry, premium transformer, and meticulous design allow the WA-84 to capture precise detail in performances with professional sound isolation. The slight 8 - 10 kHz dip / 11 - 20 kHz bump smooths out harsh highs without any lost brilliance.

  3. Applications

    *Emphasize the “crack” of the snare, “snap” of the toms, and crisp detail of cymbals.

Key Features

What you need to know

Like the original vintage 84-style mic, the WA-84 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.

The carefully-crafted cardioid capsule provides the elite performance of the vintage original - with a smooth 9-10K dip that prevents overly harsh high end - especially important for cymbals!

[object Object]

Unlike modern transformerless reissues, the WA-84 uses a custom USA-made CineMag transformer that helps deliver rich detail, clear top-end, and tight bottom end of the original mics without losing that unmistakable ‘analog’ sound.

The WA-84 proudly utilizes WIMA, polystyrene and tantalum through-hole capacitors throughout the whole circuit for ideal signal transfer from capsule-to-transformer.

The available -10 dB pad provides more headroom to record loud sources with the impressive detail of a condenser plus elite noise-rejection.
