With the \"revision 2,\" Warm Audio builds on years of expertise in vintage model recreation to refine every link: circuitry, transformer, mechanics, and internal acoustics. The goal is clear: to regain the grain, dynamics, and presence of the iconic 60s model, with current production reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWA-87 R2\u003c\/strong\u003e is a versatile studio tool for lead and backing vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, drum overheads, brass instruments, or ambient recording. The three polar patterns allow adapting the capture to the room and source: cardioid to focus vocals, omni for a natural room image, figure-8 for duets, Mid\/Side recording, or side rejection on noisy sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations of Revision 2\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCircuitry and Premium Components\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the WA-87 R2 remains a discrete circuit inspired by the 1960s, refined with a \u003cstrong\u003eFairchild NOS\u003c\/strong\u003e transistor and high-end Wima\/Nichicon capacitors. The new-generation custom \u003cstrong\u003eCinemag USA\u003c\/strong\u003e output transformer delivers a smoother frequency response and slightly higher output level, ensuring better headroom and low noise floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCapsule and Sonic Signature\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003eWA-87-B-50V\u003c\/strong\u003e capsule, faithful to the \"K87\" architecture with 4-wire termination, reproduces the present midrange and silky highs sought after in vocal and acoustic recordings. The redesigned grille frees more space around the capsule for more natural transient response and openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRecording Ergonomics\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e-10 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e pad protects against loud sources (overheads, brass, amps), while the \u003cstrong\u003e80 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e high-pass filter cleans up rumbles and mic stand vibrations. The new, wider, and sturdier brass body stabilizes the mic in suspension and ensures exemplary longevity in intensive studio use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz -
