Timeless Studio Sound in a Limited Edition Titanium-Style Finish - The Warm Audio WA-87 R2 TS Stereo Pair Large-Diaphragm Transformer-Balanced Condenser - Limited Titanium-Style Finish

The WA-87 R2 TS is a stereo pair of the WA-87 R2 mic, an authentic recreation of one of the greatest studio mics of all time with a limited titanium-style finish. The original vintage 87-style microphones have been the mic of choice for countless artists and hit recordings. Just like prized vintage units, the WA-87 R2 mic captures present mids, clear high end, and tight bass. The “Hi-fi” sound profile of the mic helps it stand out in front of mixes to let the vocals shine. Not just for vocals, the WA-87 R2 TS pair works great for acoustic guitar, overheads, stereo piano, and much more.


  • Stunning Sound & Appearance In Stereo: This stereo pair of the renowned large-diaphragm WA-87 R2 mics features a nickel-plated brass body with a limited edition Titanium-style finish. Delivering all of the clarity and presence made popular by original vintage 87-style mics, the WA-87 R2 TS pair is manufactured with tight tolerances to deliver consistent performance for stereo recording applications like overheads, acoustic guitar, and piano.
  • Tight Lows, Rich Mids, Clear Highs: The WA-87 R2 reproduces tight bass, exceptional presence, and clarity in the highs while maintaining that rich midrange associated with the most prized vintage mics. The WA-87 R2 matches well with just about any preamp and compressor to deliver an instantly professional sound.
  • Custom, K87-Style Capsule: The K-87 style capsule inside the WA-87 R2 is an authentic reproduction of the K87 capsule found in the most prized vintage 87 mics from the late 60s and early 70s.The vintage-accurate capsule inside the WA-87 R2  is able to capture intricate detail and clarity in the midrange, all the way through to treble frequencies without being too harsh in the highs. The bass is tight and natural, making the WA-87 R2 a great mic to capture any acoustic source.
  • Custom CineMag USA Output Transformer: The WA-87 R2 utilizes a custom, true-to-original spec American-Made CineMag output transformer. The transformer inside the WA-87 R2 adds a richness to the midrange and harmonic overtones to the mic that can only be heard on vintage microphones and the highest quality recreations. Even though the WA-87 R2 is excellent at delivering clarity and brilliance like the original, the transformer ensures that the mic still has all the warmth and sizzle of a vintage condenser mic.
  • Pro Recording Features: Each WA-87 R2 mic has three polar patterns (cardioid, figure-8, & omnidirectional) to meet the needs of a variety of recording situations. The variable pad (0dB, -10dB) allows the WA-87 R2 to manage variable SPLs and properly balance signal-to-noise for better raw recordings. 
  • Package Contents: The WA-87 R2 TS package comes with separate matching titanium-finished shock mounts and hard mounts for each mic. The set also includes individual leatherette cases for each microphone, and the whole package comes in a genuine SKB molded case for ultimate protection from the rigors of transportation.
  • Hand-Tested In Austin, TX: Like all Warm Audio gear, WA-87 R2 mics are 100% meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians with a passion for making music in Austin, TX USA.
