Based on classic 60s circuitry, the WA-87s rich sound became a favorite of countless producers, engineers, and home recordists everywhere. It was our first microphone and a verifiable hit, and in recent years weve followed it with many other successful and ground-breaking designs. Since the release of the WA-87 in 2016 weve learned a bunch more about microphone manufacturing, and weve proven that we can shatter the industrys quality expectations at affordable prices. That experience drove us to see if we could improve the WA-87 in tangible ways without having to raise the price, and the result is the new WA-87 R2 (Revision 2). Weve used everything weve learned about recreating vintage microphones in the last five years to bring it even closer to the sound, vibe and performance of the original 60s classic we all know and love. Were ecstatic to bring you the result in short, the new WA-87 R2 is bigger, bolder and just plain better!
