This has inspired the drive to improve the WA-87 in tangible ways without raising the price. The result is the \u003cstrong\u003eWarm Audio WA-87 R2\u003c\/strong\u003e - a large diaphragm condenser mic even closer to the sound, vibe and performance of the original 60s classic we all know and love. In short, the new WA-87 R2 is bigger, bolder and just plain better!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eA FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION WITH TOP-SHELF COMPONENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87 is based on a classic 60s circuit that is widely considered to be one of the greatest studio microphones ever designed. Warm Audio spent countless hours trying to get even closer to the sound of the vintage version than with the WA-87, so the new WA-87 R2 uses top-quality components like a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from Wima and Nichicon. The WA-87 R2 uses a custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer like the original WA-87 did, with the new version providing a slightly increased output level and improved frequency response. Warm also employed the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics. The result is an incredibly accurate sonic replica of arguably the widest-used studio microphone in popular recording history!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTHE MOST VERSATILE MIC IN YOUR LOCKER\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eJust like the vintage microphone, the WA-87 R2 excels at recording virtually anything. Three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure 8) make sure you’re covered for a wide variety of applications, and an 80 Hz high pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10 dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings, and more. Not only that, it’s the same price as the original WA-87, so you can afford to have several in your mic locker!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eSTUNNING IN SOUND AND APPEARANCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87 R2 is now encased in a heavier, stronger and larger nickel-plated brass body, and the new rounded head basket shape adds additional space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature. With authentic vintage warmth and a smooth detailed top end, we truly believe this mic performs on par with microphones costing five times as much or more. No matter what else you’ve got in your mic locker, the WA-87 R2 is sure to become one of your favorite go-to microphones!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248832757897,"sku":"148519","price":559.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/8706\/5737\/files\/warm-wa-87-r2-nickel_142324_1_1_dada0a0a-a113-487c-a0b7-1600d55565a5.jpg?v=1784049254","url":"https:\/\/vintage-king-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/warm-audio-wa-87-r2-studio-condenser-microphone-nickel-demo-deal","provider":"Vintage King Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
