Capturing the legendary sound that shaped decades of iconic recordings, the WA-87 R2 faithfully recreates one of the most revered studio microphones from the late-1960s. This authentic reproduction has earned its place in music history through an impressive artist roster spanning from Paul McCartney & David Bowie to Calvin Harris & Ed Sheeran, proving its enduring appeal across generations and genres.
The WA-87 R2 maintains the original's signature sonic characteristics with remarkably smooth bass and midrange frequencies, while adding that pristine top end that engineers have pursued for decades. Its distinctive 7-10kHz frequency bump provides a radio-friendly edge that makes lead vocals and featured sources cut through any mix with professional clarity.
At the heart of this microphone lies the K87-style capsule, an authentic reproduction of the classic K87 capsule found in vintage 87-style microphones. This capsule is renowned for its incredible and particularly pleasing high-frequency response. The built-in -10 pad offers additional headroom for recording loud sources while maintaining the impressive detail that only a large-diaphragm condenser can provide, and three polar patterns ensure versatility for any recording application.
