The Studio Standard Premium SDC

The WA-84 is a precise reproduction of the industry standard small-diaphragm condenser mic in a premium stereo package! Unlike modern transformerless recreations, vintage units are prized for the rich & detailed tone that reproduce smooth yet detailed high end. The premium package delivers the added choice of elite noise rejection of cardioid capsules, or the spacious ambient tones of omnidirectional capsules. The originals have been loved by artists like James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, Steve Gadd and many more.

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. Choose the standard cardioid capsules for rich isolated tones, or fit the omnidirectional capsules to capture intricate ambient noise and room reflections.
