Warm Audio WA-84 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Nickel

Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality small-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-84 is designed after a classic. Flash back to any top recording studio in the 1970s, and you'll see the venerable '84 everywhere. The WA-84 is an ideal choice for piano, vibraphone, marimba, congas, strings, woodwinds, and so much more.

With its versatile cardioid polar pattern and 10dB pad, you can use the WA-84 on any instrument — with world-class results. It makes snares and tom-toms sound huge. It's great for drum overheads, capturing cymbals with warmth and vibrancy. It's perfect for adding a bit of room to complement a close dynamic or ribbon mic on a guitar cabinet. Engage the pad and move the mic right up on the speaker grille. Considering its amazing price, it would be wise to double your value and get (at least) two for recording tracks in stereo.
