Discography
We decided to add a Mic to our collection at UPDown Studios, where we record all of the Blue October albums. We chose the WA-87 after reading and hearing about it. This mic has quickly become our "go to" work horse. We have used it on everything from a Big Thick mono drum room mic, to the center mic of our decca tree to record live strings, to up close on guitar cabs. It sounds great on all of it. I think we made the right choice.
