MODERN INCARNATION OF A LEGENDARY MIC
Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-87 R2 is designed after a legendary one. You can use the WA-87 R2 on anything with world-class results. It’s great for vocals. It makes drums sound huge. It’s a must-have for adding a bit of room to complement a close dynamic or ribbon mic on a guitar cabinet. It’s an ideal choice for any acoustic instrument — strings, brass, woodwinds, or percussion.
We’ve even used it on a kick drum (where the -10dB pad comes in handy)! It’s equipped with an 80Hz highpass filter that’s useful for eliminating low-end mud and rumble. And its three polar patterns further increase this microphone’s already impressive versatility.
QUALITY COMPONENTS
Warm Audio doesn’t cut corners on components, but it does order parts and build in quantity, which keeps costs down and delivers amazing value. The WA-87 R2 is assembled with premium all-discrete components, such as NOS Fairchild transistors, WIMA/Nichicon capacitors, and a genuine USA-made CineMag output transformer. The mic also features a custom reproduction of the renowned K87 dual-diaphragm/dual-backplate capsule used in vintage ’87s.
Premium parts and meticulous design deliver a superior-sounding microphone — one that doesn’t cost a fortune. Give the WA-87 R2 an audition in your studio; you’ll hear what we’re talking about.
