Backed by us. Trusted by you.
Victory isn't given. It's earned.
We build our own instruments and carry the pro audio and video brands we trust, for everyone from first-timers to working pros, from your garage to the big stage. Started in 2017.
The new 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. We also employed the same capsule the WA-87 uses, which was designed to the exact specifications of the ones found in the vintage mics. The WA-87 R2 also features three polar patterns (cardioid, omni and figure 8) so you're 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. The WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings and more. Not only that, it's the same price as the original WA-87, so you can afford to have several in your mic locker!
Nothing downstream recovers what the capsule missed.
- Consistent capsule performance
- Suited to stage or studio
- Includes mount where specified
- Precision built
- Manufacturer warranty
What is the WA-87 R2?
Microphone choice sets the ceiling for everything that follows. Preamps, conversion and plugins can shape a signal but none of them can add detail the capsule never captured, which is why the microphone is the one place worth spending first.
