Based on classic microphone circuitry, the nickel Warm Audio WA-84 is a fully discrete, small-diaphragm condenser microphone well suited for professional studios, home studios, live sound, and broadcast applications. The WA-84 excels at capturing a variety of sources including acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, pianos, strings, brass, woodwinds, and an array of other instruments.

The WA-84 features a heavy nickel CineMag USA transformer in its signal path to warm up and enlarge the sound source. Also, included are audiophile components including polystyrene and Wima capacitors and a Fairchild FET, which all contribute to produce a gorgeous sounding circuit with great signal integrity and a smooth boutique tone and a creamy-smooth top-end and a beefy mid-to-bottom.

The cardioid capsule is replaceable and is easily unscrewed from the body. The enclosure features a -10 dB pad to attenuate loud sources, while the gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector ensures a solid connection to an optional microphone cable. The WA-84 offers a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and can capture sources with a maximum SPL of 133 dB (with the -10 dB pad engaged). The Warm Audio WA-84 includes a shockmount, a microphone clip, a windscreen, and a carrying case.

A: No, the Impact Luxbanx Large Octagonal Softbox (84") does not include a speedring. If you look under the image you referred to, there is blue text that states "Speedring Not Included," and under the "In The Box" section under the Overview tab, the "Not in the Box" section lists Speed Rings as essential, but not included. The speedring was used in the image as it was needed to show the softbox assembled. As this is a universal softbox and it is compatible with a myriad of light fixtures, you have to purchase the speed ring designed for use on your light fixture. Available options are listed under the Accessories tab on this product page.
