The WA-87 R2 upgrades many features to make it sound even better and even closer to the original. For instance, even more top-shelf components are used throughout, such as a NOS Fairchild transistor and film capacitors from Wima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou'll note an increased output level over the original as well as an improved frequency response across its 20 Hz to 20 kHz range. The latter is made possible by a new, rounded head-basket shape, which ensures the capsule has additional space in the housing, and accounts for the pleasing sonic signature, which is even closer to the sound of the original vintage mic. This mic can be used to capture audio in many environments, such as recording studios, live stage, and theaters. It is suitable for all sorts of instruments and offers three different polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8. The mic ships with a shockmount, a hard mount, and a wood box for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2_2rws9renUitYEzmey3mjuE\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew in the R2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_dROY_Wl-Y_I8SrM9_Ji7q\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRounded head-basket shape adds additional space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMicrophone employs top-quality components like a NOS Fairchild transistor and high-bandwidth polystyrene and film capacitors from Wima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncreased output level over previous version \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImproved frequency response over previous version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2_2rws9renUitYEzmey3mjuE\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePremium Components Used Throughout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_dROY_Wl-Y_I8SrM9_Ji7q\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe WA-87 R2 is based on a classic 60s circuit that is widely considered to be one of the greatest studio microphones ever designed. Warm engineered the R2 to get even closer to the sound of the vintage version than the WA-87 did.\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn order to do this, the 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. Warm also employed the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2_2rws9renUitYEzmey3mjuE\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVersatility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_dROY_Wl-Y_I8SrM9_Ji7q\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJust like the vintage microphone, the WA-87 R2 excels at recording virtually anything. Three polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8) make sure you're covered for a wide variety of applications, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10 dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics. The WA-87 R2 works on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings, and more.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2_2rws9renUitYEzmey3mjuE\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGreat Look and Great Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_dROY_Wl-Y_I8SrM9_Ji7q\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe WA-87 R2 is now encased in a heavier, stronger, and larger nickel-plated brass body, and the new rounded head-basket shape adds additional space around the capsule for a more pleasing sonic signature.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32619058331727,"sku":"WA87-R2","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/products\/06_c1cf0d34-6c3c-463a-863f-71b47fb31942.jpg?v=1606489487","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/warm-audio-wa-87-r2-multi-pattern-condenser-microphone-nickel","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
