Warm Audio - WA87-B
Description
The classic '87 is arguably the most widely-used large diaphragm condenser microphone in popular recording history. The WA-87 circuitry closely follows the early circuit designs that date back nearly half a century.
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 also uses Warm Audio's own WA-87-B-50V custom capsule reproduction stylized after the classic K87 dual backplate/dual diaphragm capsule found in the early '87 microphones.
Built to a high standard and priced in a range that every-day musicians and engineers can afford.
