Warm Audio WA-87R2 Large Condenser Studio Mic, Nickel

Introducing an updated and upgraded '87 style FET Condenser Mic

Just like the vintage microphone, the WA-87 R2 (Revision 2) excels at recording virtually anything. Three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure 8) make sure you're covered for a wide variety of applications, and an 80Hz high pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble if needed. The switchable -10dB pad comes in handy when you want to record extremely loud sources and not overload the internal electronics.

The WA-87 R2 works brilliantly on vocals, drum overheads, guitars, piano, auxiliary percussion, brass, strings, and more. Not only that, it's the same price as the original WA-87, so you can afford to have several in your mic locker!
