Warm Audio WA-87 R2

In 2016, at Warm Audio, we introduced one of the most talked-about 87-style FET condenser microphones in the industry with the release of the WA-87, and for just $599 USD, it brought the look and authentic vintage sound of this style of microphone to customers at an affordable price for the first time. In short, the release of the WA-87 changed the industry's perception of what could be achieved at an affordable price.

Based on classic 60s circuitry, the rich sound of the WA-87 became the favorite of countless producers, engineers, and home recording enthusiasts around the world. It was our first microphone and a proven success, and in recent years, we have followed it with many other successful and innovative designs.

Since the release of the WA-87 in 2016, we have learned much more about microphone manufacturing and have proven that we can break the industry's quality expectations at affordable prices. That experience led us to see if we could tangibly improve the WA-87 without having to raise the price, and the result is the new WA-87 R2 (Revision 2). We have used everything we have learned about recreating vintage microphones over the last five years to bring it even closer to the sound, vibe, and performance of the classic 60s original that we all know and love. We are thrilled to offer you the result: in short, the new WA-87 R2 is bigger, bolder, and simply better!
