The WA-87 R2 black Warm audio is a large diaphragm, multi-pair condenser microphone.The WA-87R2 Black is based on the classic 60’s circuitry that is widely considered to be one of the best studio microphones ever made. Warm Audio has spent a considerable amount of time getting even closer to vintage sound. The WA-87 R2 uses high-end components such as the Fairchild NOS transistor and Nichicon and Wima polystyrene and film capacitors. The new version of the Cinemag USA custom transformer improves the frequency response and slightly increases the output level. The capsule used is identical to the one used in the WA-87, with the exact specifications of the vintage one. The result is an incredibly accurate sound, faithfully reproducing the most widely used studio microphone in the history of recording.Like the vintage version, the WA-87 R2 excels in all registers. The three directional patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8) allow you to cover a wide variety of applications, and a high-pass filter at 80 Hz reduces rumble in the bass if needed. The switchable -10 dB attenuator is useful when recording extremely powerful instruments and does not saturate the internal electronics.The WA-87 R2 now has a thicker, stronger, wider brass body, and the new protective grille offers more space around the capsule for a more pleasing sound signature. No matter what other microphones you own, the WA-87 R2 will become your favorite microphone.
