The WA-87jr brings the coveted sound of classic ‘87-style studio microphones into a more accessible, modern package without cutting corners on the details that matter. At its heart is a carefully recreated dual-backplate K87-style capsule, delivering the silky highs, articulate mids, and full-bodied lows that have made this design a gold standard for studio vocals and critical instrument tracking. Its transformerless circuit keeps noise impressively low while preserving the rich analog depth, so whether you’re laying down lead vocals, tracking an acoustic guitar, or capturing the dynamics of a drum overhead, the WA-87jr translates nuance with remarkable clarity and warmth.Not simply a one-trick vocal mic, the WA-87jr offers three switchable polar patterns, cardioid, omni, and figure-8, giving you control over how much room or off-axis sound you want in the mix. A pad and high-pass filter add extra versatility by tamig loud sources or reducing rumble without reaching for the EQ. From intimate podcasts and voiceovers to full band sessions, it’s a microphone designed to adapt, backed by thoughtful extras like a shockmount, hardmount, and leather case. Each WA-87jr is hand-tested by a team of audio enthusiasts in Austin, Texas, ensuring you get a piece of gear that’s ready to inspire confidence the moment it hits the stand.Warm Audio WA-87jr ApplicationsVocals - Singing & Podcast/VO/StreamAcoustic GuitarPianoDrum OverheadsGuitar CabsToms/SnareStrings & HornsWarm Audio WA-87jr FeaturesDelivers the legendary tone of classic ‘87-style microphones in a more accessible, modern buildFeatures a precision-crafted dual-backplate K87-style capsule for silky highs, clear mids, and warm lowsTransformerless circuit design keeps noise remarkably low while preserving rich analog characterExcels on lead vocals, acoustic guitars, drum overheads, and other critical studio applicationsOffers three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omni, and figure-8—for precise control of pickup and room ambienceIncludes a pad and high-pass filter to handle loud sources and tame unwanted low frequenciesComes with a professional shockmount, hardmount, and leather storage case for versatile setups and safe transportHand-tested and inspected by passionate audio technicians in Austin, Texas for quality you can trustWarm Audio WA-87jr SpecificationsPolar Patterns: Cardioid, Figure-8, & Omnidirectional10 dB Pad 80 Hz High-Pass FilterIncludes: Shockmount, Hard Mount, Leather Storage PouchGold-Sputtered, Large-Diaphragm, Dual-Backplate, K87-Style CapsuleFully Discrete Signal PathSelf-Noise: 9dBA Dynamic Range: 116dBAMaximum SPL: 125/135dB (Without/With Pad)Frequency Range: 20 Hz~20 KHzOutput Impedance: 100 OhmsSensitivity: 10mV/Pa Or -40dB Warm Audio WA-87jr Large-Diaphragm Transformerless FET Condenser Microphone - Nickel.
