Warm Audio WA-87 R2B LDC Microphone - Black

The Warm Audio WA-87 FET COndenser Microphone 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 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.

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. This microphone also employs the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in vintage mics. The result is an incredibly accurate sonic replica of arguably the widest-used studio microphone in popular recording history.
