We've published a review of the WARM AUDIO “WARM AUDIO / WA-84 STEREO PAIR” by keyboardist/composer Osamu Fukuzawa, who is active as a versatile sideman handling everything from arrangements to production work!
"My upright piano has a lot of noise and a characteristic sound with a low center of gravity. The WA-84 brings that character forward naturally without compromising it, while also preserving a pleasant roundness that doesn't pierce the ears.
The quality captures the raw impression of the moment it's recorded, forming a solid foundation for the piece. It provides reassurance that the airy feel is well-balanced without needing excessive processing.
Furthermore, the stereo pair delivers exceptionally stable imaging, creating a natural, expansive presence for solo piano that feels truly ‘there’. Even shifting distance or position by just a few centimeters changes the nuance, offering ample room for fine-tuning.
The WA-84 has a very warm, substantial texture – it's a sound I love.
It strikes a balance between modernity and avoiding excessive hi-fi precision, making it a great choice for those seeking recordings with musical warmth.
The reviewer gave it high praise.
