Your Video is helping me make a decision on a new mic purchase. I am looking at getting the Slate VMC or keeping things old school with Warm’s WA87 & WA84. Still going back & forth but, hearing your upload helped in the WA win column.

Guys, I finally got this mic - the R2 version. This is an end game microphone! It’s really all you need in life and definitely on the same caliber as the other mics used by A list singers. We now live in a time where manufacturing capabilities have advanced to make these microphones top quality, relatively affordable and easy to attain for the general public.

So glad u r recommending this incredible mic. I've been at least 5 weeks or more listening to mic reviews n comparisons. On their website they have sample recordings of Male vocal with only acoustic guitar n they have few other vocal demonstrations on KZfaq n the wa87 is hands down the best. Incredible. Wat I noticed is the presence or sheer volume difference. Its seems louder. Puts the vocal way up front. It's rich smooth n mellow but has a crisp bite to it at the same time. Other mics with cheaper price n similar graph r the stellar x2 vintage with self noise of 10db n the mxl v67g. Wa87 is the beast. Its the vocal mic for male singers without a doubt. I have 60 original songs I want to record n I'll do it all with one mic. Wa87. Very good recommendation.

Finally I received my WA87 yesterday and I have to tell you after doing doing a voice test it’s the best money spent on a condenser microphone-I never heard of a microphone that is dead quite and when you start speaking the WA 87 comes alive with a nice base with perfect pitch...I love it and would never give it up-it’s my to go microphone for radio broadcast and voiceover. Also try the TZ Audio Stellar X2 mic that condenser microphone is very good good microphone and it sounds almost like the WA87 but for half the price...

Hey Warren how are you liking the wa87 1 year later? Outside of vocals what do you think it excels at ? And also what do you think it’s doesn’t excel with ? I don’t really record vocals but I tried for overheads and didn’t really like it. To me it had kind of a distant crappy sound. And just for fun I miced a ampeg svt3 amp into a ampeg cab and I didn’t really like that either. I can say that I put it in omni mode and put it over the kick drum pedal in the center of the kit and that was actually pretty cool. I would use that again. Just curious to hear your opinions on this. Take care ✌️
@WarrenHenry3 жыл бұрын
You know as with many times I have used an 87 the takeaway is always love hate😃 In use, I really like how it captures the neck of upright bass as well as using it aimed at the keyholes on Sax. It’s not my favorite mic for vocals or drums and have used it in that way on both with mixed results. I have to say if you’ve found that the Omni pattern works best for you then keep at it. Warm has faithfully replicated some timeless classics for a song, no pun intended. Thanks for watching ✌🏾

Thanks for your comment. I really like that 4050. That’s a great upgrade. The WA87 stands up well to an actual Neumann. Now, If you ever get a chance to sample Warm’s WA47... Fasten your seatbelt you're in for a ride. 😳😀thanks for watching ✌🏽

Just bought one last night and it’s a clear quality sound. My only thing is that I have no preamp and running this mic into my focusrite 2i2, I have to have my interface preamp turned all the way up just to hear any audio. What would you recommend as far as preamps for this mic? I am considering the Warm Audio WA-73EQ
@WarrenHenry5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your question. I would suggest The Focusrite ISA One which is a great preamp if you are on a budget. If you have a 500 series chassis another steal is the Focusrite Red 1 and without a doubt the Warm Audio WA-73. Thanks for watching

You could route a aux channel back into your input and track through the 1073 pre from waves or even a La2a compressor. That should give you some more volume and punch
