KIWARA KA-84 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Vintage 84-Style Replica

The KIWARA KA-84 is a precision handcrafted small-diaphragm condenser microphone that faithfully recreates the distinctive character, warmth, and clarity of the legendary vintage 84-style microphones. Featuring a custom KA-84 capsule and KIWARA BV107 output transformer built to original specifications, it delivers rich high-frequency detail, smooth midrange, and natural low-end response in a classic cardioid pattern. With premium Vishay resistors and capacitors, a -10 dB pad switch, and a sleek nickel finish, the KA-84 is ideal for acoustic instruments, drum overheads, percussion, strings, brass, choirs, and any application where transparent, detailed capture is essential.

Custom KA-84 Capsule

The KA-84 capsule is engineered to match the original vintage 84-style capsules, providing a cardioid pickup pattern with warm, rich high frequencies and exceptional detail. This careful reproduction ensures the microphone captures the airy, open top end and smooth character that made the originals studio favorites for decades.

KIWARA BV107 Output Transformer

The hand-wound KIWARA BV107 transformer uses custom bobbins and stamped UI laminations to precisely match vintage 84-style specifications. It delivers authentic tonal quality with balanced, musical response and the classic warmth and transparency that define the microphone's legacy.
