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. The WA-87 R2 uses the same capsule the WA-87 uses which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics. The result is an incredibly accurate sonic replica of arguably the widest-used studio microphone in popular recording history! Incredible Recording Capabilities Just like the vintage microphone the WA-87 R2 excels at recording virtually anything. Three polar patterns Cardioid Omni and Figure 8 make sure youre covered for a wide variety of applications and an 80Hz high pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics. Ideal Usage The WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals drum overheads guitars piano auxiliary percussion brass strings and more. Stunning In Sound and Appearance The 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. With authentic vintage warmth and a smooth detailed top end this mic performs on par with microphones costing five times as much or more. No matter what else youve got in your mic locker the WA-87 R2 is sure to become one of your favorite go-to microphones!
