Just got the mic and tested it. Fantastic. This mic is so good that it can be an end game mic. Pretty much all you need for voice, acoustic, etc....And only for 599 dollars !! (At least in the USA).......great bargain and great mic no matter what the cost is.
Still happy? Did you test other mics as well? Sold my tlm102 which i love just to test the wa-87 r2. Is it sibilant/harsh?
@@gangs0846 I love it. It’s smooth. Not sibilant. I only tested it on vocals and acoustic guitar. My only other high end microphones are the AKG C414 xls and the Royer R 101 ribbon mic. Maybe you can buy it at a retail store and test it. If you don’t like you probably can return it.
Kudos Mike to your high quality visuals as well as your great script which you engagingly and without hesitation rattle through and always manage not to make it feel tedious, contrived or laboured. Keep up the good work - no great work...you're a star. BTW, nice duet.
In addition to being a great presenter, you’re a great singer, Mike!
Regards from Rio!
You are too kind, but thank you :)
Great as usual Mike !
The one dislike is from someone who couldn’t stand the heat, so they got out of the kitchen
with this video I finally decide to buy one. Thanks for this review
Wonderful song! Thanks for reviewing the mic, sounds great
Great review -Thanks !!! Greetings from Finland !
5:31 My feelings exactly. Great review👍🏾
On vocals sounds great !
Agree!
Wow. Wow. Wow. I love it.
Love your info, very informative!
Thanks for watching!
the best review on youtube thank you!
Great review. Totally interested so I look at as many of these videos as possible to assist with my purchase. Thanks for a very informative neutral review and demo
Bought it three weeks ago...put my Neumann in mic closet.
Is this mic better sounding than Neumann mic and which neumann mic do you have?
Great review - amazing song!
Alright. I don't need more mics but I'm buying one of these dammit. BTW, the lady on vocals is sublime! I am curious about which preamp you are pairing this product with though.
Sounds clean and not harsh!!!!!!! The mic does sound WARM!!!!!
One of the reasons is because there’s tantalum capacitors inside which can help color the sound
Your room sounds really good!
Love the recording of this, awsome sound...good singing also.
WOW! I'd never thought I'd see Gordon Ramsay singing in my life.
The roll off actually added more punch & a slight more bass! I thought it would cut off the bass! Great!
Are you going direct into your interface or did you use a preamp? Great showcase of what it can do vocally and on guitar.
Worth a try.
Wow Sir you are a great singer!!!!!
I can already feel the heat mike.
lol
@@CreativeSauce Hi, I know this is a bit off topic but I've watched your advanced video about mapping drums, do you know how exactly you can map drums for a proper electric drum kit?
Very Warm Audio.
lol agree
nicely done and nice tune
Hi Mike. I would describe the sound of this mic as very...warm
Of course :)
@@CreativeSauce Of cause this was a not so very smart and funny joke. But joke aside, this would actually be the word I would use to describe the sound of the mic.
@@TheFeanor74 i always appreciate the fact that somebody even tries to make a joke. Too much seriousness in the world at times!
@@CreativeSauce That, Sir, is sad but true.
What mic pre amp are you using sounds great?
Nice tune!
i like your monitors :D i have a pair of those . hey what other microphones you think would be in the same price range to consider? i have the slate digital modeling mic on mid and the neumann tlm 102, or the aston spirit? i wan it for vocals ima us a apollo solo interface wich would be my best option?
oh and i know it would be better to try it and see how performs but i dont have any local stores. but i like a microphone to have some character not just flat
how is it compared to aston spirit ?
Pretty song!
I just purchased one. Do u think I should use my eyeball on it? My room is untreated with a reflection filter. Thanks for the review.
Question, do you believe its good enough for Voice Acting?
This mic surprised me in shootouts.
Why is there no pop filter onnone of dje warm audio mics?
I've been using a JZ BH2 & just got this one.The BH2 has a lot of sparkle & brightness which I miss on this .However there is some kinda sweetness & smoothness in this.I wonder if bright mics can be an issue when it comes to Mixdown though.
They can be an issue. Often times (not always of course - bright high end mics would not have this issue) the brightness is not a smooth bump in the high frequencies, but usually rather bumpy which makes certain high frequencies more resonant, which in return is very hard to next to impossible to get rid of in mixing, because it would require very narrow filtering, which then usually introduces more ringing/phase shift.
A high quality dark sounding mic usually takes a wide high end bump by a nice EQ very well. Take ribbon mics that generally will sound much darker, but when you boost that high end in Mixing, you will find very very smooth and natural sounding highs instead of harsh resonance.
A classic "fallacy" that I also long fell for is to prefer a bright mic over a darker but better microphone, people just like the mixed or "hi-fi" kind of sound from it, but it comes with said resonant drawbacks, while the better microphone can be mixed to any liking more easily.
Which pop filter do you recommend?
Have you used an Aston Spirit for vocals and acoustic guitar?? If you have - how does the WA-87 R2 compare? I would expect it to be better - but would it be enough of an improvement to shell out the extra cash? Big thanks!
I was dealing with that same dilemma and I ended up getting the WA87 R2. Let me tell you, I have no regrets at all.
@@k_watts These are the exact two mics I'm in between also. Glad you liked the WA87, seems like the Spirit may be a bit too bright
@@jonyshelby The WA-87 R2 sounds very good without any harshness at all. My next purchase will be the WA-73 Eq Peamp. I have to say that Warm Audio definitely makes some phenomenal gear at very affordable prices.
@@k_watts Still happy? Did you test other mics as well? Sold my tlm102 which i love just to test the wa-87 r2. How is sibilance and warmness/color?
@@gangs0846 It's good. Trust me. I recorded two songs running this mic straight into the Audient Evo 4. Click the link below if you want to hear the results.

This might end up being the best review for this microphone I’ve seen yet. 1:34
this mic is so heavy, it goes down suddenly
Yeah, definitely have to tighten the support firmly!
From what I’ve heard, Tama mic stands are recommended sagging mics
Wow
It often feels like I have to turn the gain up to get a full sound
Is that a bad thing?
@@JuliusDeBerryJr yes for me because I live in a apartment where I record music so it’s not just picking up my amazing voice it’s picking up more of the surrounding sounds. I recommend Avatone cv12 pro
Sounds like Ringo
As soon as you use EQ on a microphone, it doesn't say anything about the quality of the microphone itself anymore. Also there is no way to compare the sound to another, well know microphone.
With EQ and without an A/B comparison, a review is pointless IMHO...
Hello ^^
This could have been a more useful video if there was a raw, unprocessed example. Bah.
Warm microphones are not built like the Neumann u87. There is a cheapness about all the warm stuff. The body is cheap looking and the paint job just imitative, the box is cheap.
I certainly agree Warm microphones are not built like the Neumann u87, but then again they're not priced like a Neumann either! If you have the money, there are better alternatives to WA, but if not, Warm Audio offers a very good price/quality relation.
We're just worried bout sound quality
