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. Leveraging the lessons learned from the successful launch of the original WA-87, Warm Audio has managed to enhance the performance of this already impressive microphone without increasing the price. The result is the WA-87 R2 (Revision 2) - a microphone that is bolder, better, and delivers a sound that is closer to the original 60s classic than ever before.
Constructed with top-tier components like a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from Wima, the WA-87 R2 is a testament to Warm Audio's commitment to quality. The custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer, similar to the one used in the original WA-87, provides an increased output level and improved frequency response.

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.
