Today I review a clone of the classic Neumann U87, the Warm Audio WA-87. I compare this mic to the U87 Ai, an sE4400a, and a JZ Mics Vintage 11. This mic has a very punchy mid section and over all smooth sound that sounds excellent on acoustics and vocals, especially if you’re going for a more vintage sound. I am extremely impressed with this microphone as a mic on it’s own, however, it yields a very different sound compared to the U87.

Buy it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Lqf0wl I tackle the question of whether or not you can record an SF-920 on your iPhone. I successfully do so using the above adapter and the voice memos app. I have not done further testing of other microphones yet. I should note that you cannot alter the microphones gain on your phone, so you will need to have a microphone that allows gain adjustments, or you can you just back up from the microphone if you want. I also don't know how much power the iPhone puts out, so I am uncertain what kind of microphones it will be able to work with. I will do more testing and research.
