Authentic 87-Style Sound

The WA-87 R2 features a custom K87 style capsule that accurately reproduces the sonic profile of the most sought-after 87 mics from the 1960s and 70s. This lets you capture the intricate midrange detail, extended high end and tight lows those vintage mics are known for. The WA-87 R2 gives you an authentic 87-style sound that helped define the recordings of countless artists.

Premium Components for Rich Tone

High-quality components are key to the WA-87 R2's vintage-accurate tone. It uses an American-made CineMag output transformer specially designed to match the specs of original 87 mic transformers. This adds richness, warmth and nuance to the midrange and high end. The WA-87 R2 also features NOS fairchild transistors and audiophile-grade WIMA and Nichicon capacitors for transparent signal transfer. These premium parts let you enjoy the depth and dimension only found in the best vintage and boutique mics.

Flexible Polar Patterns for Any Application

The WA-87 R2 gives you cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-8 polar patterns to suit different recording needs. The cardioid pattern provides focused pickup of sound sources directly in front of the mic, rejecting off-axis noise. Omnidirectional picks up sound evenly from all directions. Figure-8 picks up from both the front and rear of the mic, rejecting the sides. With multiple patterns, you can use the WA-87 R2 on a wide range of sources from vocals and acoustic guitar to piano, drums and more.

Road-Ready Ruggedness

Despite its vintage-accurate design, the WA-87 R2 is a thoroughly modern mic ready for professional use. It has a durable nickel-plated brass body with limited edition titanium style finish. The WA-87 R2 also includes titanium shockmounts, leatherette mic boxes and a sturdy flight case to protect your investment during transportation and storage.
