Warm Audio have announced the launch of Limited Edition Titanium versions of two of their popular mics, the WA-47T and WA-87 R2. As their names suggests, both sport a slick new titanium finish, with the latter being made available as a matched stereo pair.
WA-47T
The WA-47T offers Warm Audio’s take on one of the most coveted mics of all time, Neumann’s U47. The mic itself comes housed in a high-quality wooden display box, alongside a matching titanium shockmount, a PSU and a seven-pin Gotham AG cable. To keep everything safe and organised, the kit is supplied in a heavy-duty moulded flight case.
The WA-47T promises to accurately match the sonic profile of an original U47, delivering the deep bass, rich midrange and smooth highs its renowned for. The WA-47T uses high-quality components throughout, including a custom K47-style capsule that’s been meticulously designed to match the response of early vintage originals. A premium 5751 valve follows, feeding a custom TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer.
WA-87R2 TS
The WA-87 R2 TS brings together two of the company’s WA-87 R2 mics, which have been designed to provide all of the clarity and presence of Neumanns sought-after vintage U87. The pairs are manufactured to tight tolerances, helping to ensure consistent performance for applications such as overheads, acoustic guitar and piano recording. The package comes with matching titanium-finished shockmounts and hard mounts for each mic, as well as individual leatherette cases, and the whole package comes in a genuine SKB molded case
