Warm Audio presented the predecessor model WA-87 back in 2016 and made the coveted vintage sound of the original affordable for everyone. Now the Texan manufacturer has consistently updated the model based on the experience gained to exceed expectations once again.


The WA-87 R2 (Revision 2) therefore features a discrete circuit design with premium components such as new-old-stock Fairchild transistors, WIMA and Nichicon capacitors and is complemented by an improved CineMag USA output transformer. The capsule used is an in-house development precisely modelled on the classic double-diaphragm capsule with a gold-vaporised 6 µm NOS Mylar diaphragm.


Thanks to authentic vintage warmth and a soft, detailed top end, the WA-87 R2 comes even closer to the ever-popular sound and vibe of the original classic from the swinging sixties.
