Stunning Sound & Appearance In Stereo
This stereo pair of the renowned large-diaphragm WA-87 R2 mics features a nickel-plated brass body with a limited edition Titanium-style finish. Delivering all of the clarity and presence made popular by original vintage 87-style mics, the WA-87 R2 TS pair is manufactured with tight tolerances to deliver consistent performance for stereo recording applications like overheads, acoustic guitar, and piano.
Tight Lows, Rich Mids, Clear Highs
The WA-87 R2 reproduces tight bass, exceptional presence, and clarity in the highs while maintaining that rich midrange associated with the most prized vintage mics. The WA-87 R2 matches well with just about any preamp and compressor to deliver an instantly professional sound.
Custom, K87-Style Capsule
The K-87 style capsule inside the WA-87 R2 is an authentic reproduction of the K87 capsule found in the most prized vintage 87 mics from the late 60s and early 70s.The vintage-accurate capsule inside the WA-87 R2 is able to capture intricate detail and clarity in the midrange, all the way through to treble frequencies without being too harsh in the highs. The bass is tight and natural, making the WA-87 R2 a great mic to capture any acoustic source.
Custom CineMag USA Output Transformer
The WA-87 R2 utilizes a custom, true-to-original spec American-Made CineMag output transformer. The transformer inside the WA-87 R2 adds a richness to the midrange and harmonic overtones to the mic that can only be heard on vintage microphones and the highest quality recreations. Even though the WA-87 R2 is excellent at delivering clarity and brilliance like the original, the transformer ensures that the mic still has all the warmth and sizzle of a vintage condenser mic.
Pro Recording Features
Each WA-87 R2 mic has three polar patterns (cardioid, figure-8, & omnidirectional) to meet the needs of a variety of recording situations. The variable pad (0dB, -10dB) allows the WA-87 R2 to manage variable SPLs and properly balance signal-to-noise for better raw recordings.
Package Contents
The WA-87 R2 TS package comes with separate matching titanium-finished shock mounts and hard mounts for each mic. The set also includes individual leatherette cases for each microphone, and the whole package comes in a genuine SKB molded case for ultimate protection from the rigors of transportation.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
