K87-Style Capsule

The K87-style capsule is a reproduction of the classic dual backplate (four-wire termination) capsule found in the original. This capsule captures incredible detail across the 20Hz - 20kHz frequency response. With an especially pleasing and equally renowned high-end, the capsule inside the WA-87 R2 will quickly make this a favorite mic on lead vocals and much more.

NOS Fairchild Transistors & Premium Capacitors

The WA-87 R2 uses a premium, NOS Fairchild transistor - the same component found in the most exacting and expensive reissues. The capacitors in the WA-87 R2 come from the ultra-premium manufacturers WIMA and Nichicon, providing the excellent signal conversion that this circuit demands.

American-Made Transformer From CineMag

The WA-87 utilizes an American-made CineMag USA transformer. CineMag has a rich history of manufacturing some of the most sought-after American-made transformers. CineMag products date all the way back to World War II (as Reichenbach Engineering) and were pivotal in creating some of the most legendary audio products in the last 100 years. This transformer helps provide the full, truthful tone that one would hope to get from a vintage 70s-era 87-style condenser microphone.
