About Warm Audio WA-87 R2

Why settle for less when you can experience the superior sound quality of the WA-87 R2 Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone in Nickel This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is a modern-day marvel, meticulously designed to replicate the rich, full-bodied sound of the iconic 60s studio microphones.

The WA-87 R2 is not just an upgrade, it's a revelation in audio recording technology.

With three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure 8), an 80Hz high pass filter, and a switchable -10dB pad, this microphone is equipped to handle a wide range of recording situations. Whether you're capturing vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings, or more, the WA-87 R2 delivers exceptional results.

The WA-87 R2 is as stunning in appearance as it is in performance. Encased in a robust, nickel-plated brass body, this microphone features a new rounded head basket design that adds extra space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature.

The WA-87 R2 is more than just a microphone, it's a reliable, durable, and versatile addition to your audio recording equipment.
