## Long description

The Warm Audio WA-87R2 is a professional-grade studio condenser microphone designed to deliver the authentic, vintage sound of classic 60s circuitry. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this revision features upgraded components and a refined build quality to provide a richer, more detailed audio performance. Encased in a robust nickel-plated brass body, the WA-87R2 offers both durability and a sophisticated aesthetic suitable for any professional recording environment.
Advantages
The WA-87R2 stands out due to its commitment to high-fidelity sound reproduction, utilizing premium components such as NOS Fairchild transistors and high-bandwidth Wima capacitors. The inclusion of a custom-wound Cinemag USA output transformer ensures an improved frequency response and a higher output level compared to previous iterations. Its versatile design, featuring three selectable polar patterns, allows engineers to adapt to various recording scenarios with ease, while the sturdy construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding studio conditions.
Suitable for
Professional vocal recording
Drum overheads and room miking
Acoustic and electric guitar cabinets
Piano and grand piano recording
Brass and string instruments
Auxiliary percussion
When it may not be suitable
This microphone may not be the ideal choice for field recording or mobile setups where a lightweight, battery-powered, or USB-connected solution is required, as it necessitates a stable studio environment with phantom power. Additionally, users looking for a specialized microphone for specific niche applications might find a multi-pattern condenser less focused than a dedicated instrument-specific mic.
Key specifications
Frequency range: 20 - 20000 Hz
Sensitivity: 132 dB
Polar patterns: Cardioid, Omni, and Figure-8
Connectivity: Wired XLR-5
Construction materials: Aluminium, brass, and nickel
Total harmonic distortion: 5%
Weight: 1.03 kg
How to use
To begin using the WA-87R2, connect it to your audio interface or mixing console using a high-quality XLR-5 cable. Ensure that your preamp or interface provides 48V phantom power, as this is required for the condenser capsule to function. Position the microphone according to your desired polar pattern—cardioid for focused sound, omni for room ambiance, or figure-8 for side-rejection. Utilize the onboard 80Hz high-pass filter to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble and engage the -10dB pad if you are recording high-SPL sources to prevent signal clipping.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your audio interface supports XLR-5 connectivity or use an appropriate adapter.
Verify that your recording space is acoustically treated to take full advantage of the microphone's sensitivity.
Confirm that your phantom power supply is capable of providing consistent 48V.
Consider purchasing a compatible shock mount or stand to minimize mechanical vibrations.
Usage recommendations
For the best results, experiment with the three polar patterns to find the optimal balance between direct sound and room acoustics. When recording loud sources like guitar amps or drums, always engage the -10dB pad first to maintain signal integrity and protect the internal electronics from distortion.
