    Warm Audio WA-87 R2 A Faithful Reproduction with Top-Shelf Components

    A Faithful Reproduction with Top-Shelf Components

    The WA-87 R2 isn’t just an homage; it’s an obsession. Warm Audio spent countless hours refining the original design, hand-selecting premium components to get even closer to the vintage sound that defined a generation. It’s all about capturing that unmistakable character and mojo that makes recordings come alive.

    • Premium Vintage-Spec Internals: Built with all-discrete, top-quality components, including a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth capacitors from Wima and Nichicon. This commitment to quality ensures a pristine signal path and the authentic tone of a classic '60s circuit.
    • Custom Cinemag USA Transformer: The updated, custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer provides an increased output level and an even more impressive frequency response, adding depth and dimension to your sound.
    • Authentic K87-Style Capsule: At the heart of the WA-87 R2 is the WA-87-B-50V capsule, a faithful reproduction of the dual-backplate K87 capsule found in the most coveted vintage models. This ensures every sonic detail is captured with stunning accuracy.

    The Most Versatile Mic in Your Locker

    The WA-87 R2 is your sonic Swiss Army knife, ready to tackle any recording scenario you can throw at it. Its flexibility and thoughtful design features make it the go-to choice for capturing pristine audio from virtually any source.

    • Three Switchable Polar Patterns: Effortlessly switch between cardioid, figure-of-eight, and omnidirectional patterns. This versatility makes the WA-87 R2 perfect for everything from solo vocal performances and podcasting to capturing the ambient sound of a room or recording a two-person interview.
    • Onboard High-Pass Filter: The switchable 80Hz high-pass filter cuts out unwanted low-frequency rumble from air conditioners, floor vibrations, or mic stand noise, giving you a cleaner, more focused recording right from the source.
    • -10dB Pad: Need to record a screaming guitar amp, a powerful vocalist, or a heavy-hitting drummer? Engage the -10dB pad to prevent overloading the internal electronics, ensuring your recordings are clean and distortion-free even at high SPLs.
