Den klassiska ’87 mikrofonen är troligtvis den mest använda stormembransmikrofonen i inspelningshistorien. En riktig klassiker med andra ord.
Med WA-87 valde Warm Audio att noga efterlikna den tidiga elektronik och kretskortsdesign som som går tillbaka nästan ett halvt sekel och ger dig ett varmt naturligt ljud.
Warm Audio har jobbat hårt för att få WA-87 R2 att låta ännu mer som sin vintage föregångare. Komponenter i toppklass så som en NOS Fairchild transistor, USA Cinemag utgångs transformator. Förbättrad ut-signal och frekvens respons. Kapseln i WA-87 R2 är den samma som i WA-87, och var designad som en exakt kopia av den som sitter i de klassiska mikrofonerna. Resultatet blir en mikrofon som låter väldigt likt den mest populära inspelningsmikrofonen i historien..

It All Starts With The Microphone
The importance of a good microphone cannot be overstated; but unfortunately, finding a truly great microphone within a budget has always been challenging for aspiring engineers. There are very usable microphones available for those on a budget; but top shelf, classic studio microphones are financially out of reach for most people. We applied all that we know about bridging this barrier into crafting a microphone that reaches the level of quality and sonics mostly found only in top shelf products, yet sells for a price that is down to earth.
Quality Components Make A Better Mic
The WA-87 features all discrete, premium components such as Fairchild FETs, tantalum, polystyrene, and WIMA film capacitors, and is rounded off with a CineMag USA output transformer.
The WA-87 proudly uses our own Warm Audio WA-87-B-50V custom capsule reproduction stylized after the classic K87 dual backplate/dual diaphragm capsule found in the early ‘87 microphones.
