This Revision 2 model represents a significant upgrade over the original WA-87, featuring premium components and enhanced performance that brings it even closer to the vintage 87-style sound that shaped countless iconic recordings from Paul McCartney and David Bowie to Calvin Harris and Ed Sheeran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWA-87 R2\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers the smooth bass and midrange character of the vintage original while adding pristine top-end clarity that engineers have pursued for decades. The signature 7-10kHz presence boost provides a radio-friendly edge to lead vocals and any source that needs to stand out in the mix. Built with all-discrete premium circuitry featuring a NOS (New Old Stock) Fairchild transistor, high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from WIMA and Nichicon, and a custom-wound CineMag USA output transformer (CM-13113) with improved frequency response and increased output level compared to the original WA-87.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003eThe WA-87-B-50V capsule is a faithful reproduction of the classic dual-backplate K87 capsule with four-wire termination, featuring a 6-micron thick, gold-sputtered NOS Mylar diaphragm sourced from a premium Australian supplier. The R2 features a redesigned nickel-plated brass body that is larger, heavier, and stronger than its predecessor, with a rounded head basket that creates additional space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature. Three switchable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8) provide versatility for any recording application, from intimate vocals to room ambience. The -10dB pad handles extremely loud sources without overloading internal electronics, while the 80Hz high-pass filter eliminates low-frequency rumble. Includes wooden storage case, shock mount, and hard mount. Requires 48V phantom power. Available in nickel or black finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthentic reproduction of vintage late-1960s 87-style FET condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWA-87-B-50V capsule – faithful reproduction of classic dual-backplate K87 capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6-micron gold-sputtered NOS Mylar diaphragm from premium Australian supplier\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAll-discrete premium circuitry with NOS Fairchild transistor\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-bandwidth WIMA and Nichicon polystyrene\/film capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCustom-wound CineMag USA output transformer (CM-13113)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eImproved frequency response and increased output level vs. original WA-87\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated brass body – larger, heavier, and stronger design\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRounded head basket for additional capsule space and improved sonic signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThree switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignature 7-10kHz presence boost for clarity and definition\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmooth bass and midrange with pristine top-end\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e-10dB pad for recording loud sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e80Hz high-pass filter for low-frequency rumble reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExceptional versatility: vocals, drums, guitars, piano, brass, strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAvailable in nickel or black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: Large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCapsule: WA-87-B-50V – reproduction of classic K87 dual-backplate, four-wire termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiaphragm: 6-micron thickness, 1-inch diameter, gold-sputtered membrane, NOS Mylar (PET film)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePolar Patterns: Cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8 (switchable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 150Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 125 dB SPL @ 1kHz, 0.5% THD (without pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL with Pad: 132 dB SPL (with -10dB pad engaged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio: 82 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSelf-Noise: 11 dB (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise: -117 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-Pass Filter: 80Hz (switchable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePad: -10dB (switchable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutput Transformer: Custom-wound CineMag USA (CM-13113)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutput Connector: 24k gold-plated 3-pin XLR (Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = +, Pin 3 = -)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower Requirement: 48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBody Material: Nickel-plated brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 10\" (254mm) length × 2.36\" (60mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.6 lbs (725g) microphone only\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFinish Options: Nickel or Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Wooden storage case, shock mount, hard mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptional Accessory: Flight case (available separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58445458768204,"sku":"41854","price":634.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/WARMAUDIOWA-87R21.jpg?v=1786985316","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/products\/warm-audio-wa-87-r2","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
