Based on classic 60s circuitry, the rich sound of the WA-87 became the preferred choice for many producers, engineers, and home recording enthusiasts worldwide. It was the first microphone made by Warm Audio, followed by many other successful projects. Since the WA-87's release in 2016, Warm Audio has gained even more experience, leading the company to see if it was possible to significantly improve the WA-87's quality without changing its cost: the result is the WA-87 R2 (Revision 2). The WA-87 is based on a classic 60s circuit for what is universally recognized as one of the most valid studio microphones ever designed. Warm Audio, with the WA-87, invested a great deal of resources in trying to get as close as possible to the sound of the vintage version. Thus, the WA-87 R2 uses high-quality components such as an NOS Fairchild transistor and wide-bandwidth WIMA polystyrene capacitors. The WA-87 R2 uses a custom output transformer just like the original unit, with the new version providing a higher output level and improved frequency response. Warm Audio used the same WA-87 capsule, designed to the same specifications as the vintage unit. The result is an accurate sonic replica of the most popular studio microphone in the history of sound recording! Just like the vintage unit, the WA-87 R2 is excellent for recording any sound source. The three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure-8) allow for a wide variety of applications, and an 80Hz HPF filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The selectable -10dB pad is useful when recording extremely powerful sound sources without overloading the internal electronics. The WA-87 R2 is housed in a heavier, stronger nickel-plated body, and the new round grille increases the space around the capsule. With authentic \"vintage\" warmth and sweeter, more detailed high frequencies, this microphone performs on par with microphones costing five times as much.Main Features:\t•\tLarge-diaphragm condenser studio microphone, faithful reproduction of the original vintage '87-style circuit\t•\tPremium discrete components, such as NOS Fairchild transistor and WIMA\/Nichicon capacitors\t•\tCustom Cinemag USA output transformers\t•\tWA-87-B-50V capsule - reproduction of the classic K87 capsule\t•\tNickel-plated brass body\t•\tThree polar patterns: cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional\t•\t-10dB pad and 80Hz high-pass filter\t•\tFrequency response 20Hz - 20kHz\t•\tSPL: .5% THD @ 125dB (without pad), 132dB\t•\tDiaphragm: 6 micron thick, gold-evaporated membrane, NOS Mylar (PET film)\t•\tNoise: -117 dB\t•\tIncluded accessories: wooden case, hard mount, and shock mount (optional flight case available)\t•\tWeight: 2.5 kg","brand":"WARM AUDIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58001968562521,"sku":"WA87R2","price":584.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1036\/3633\/6985\/files\/wa-87-r2.png?v=1778102392","url":"https:\/\/yourmusiconline.it\/en\/products\/warm-audio-wa-87-r2-wa87r2","provider":"yourmusiconline.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
