Warm Audio WA87JR Nickel Large-Diaphragm Transformerless FET Condenser Microphone
Description
The WA-87jr offers a modern interpretation of the classic ‘87-style microphone, renowned for its excellence in studio vocal recording. It features an updated circuit and professional-grade components. Its vintage-accurate K87-style capsule produces clear highs, well-defined mids, and controlled lows. Equipped with selectable polar patterns, a 10dB attenuation pad, and an 80Hz high-pass filter, the WA-87jr provides comprehensive flexibility for diverse recording situations.
Classic Studio Sound, Contemporary Design: The WA-87jr reimagines the legendary ‘87-style microphone by combining a modern multi-pattern condenser with exceptional clarity in highs and rich midrange detail. Featuring one of the finest vocal condenser capsules ever crafted alongside meticulously engineered contemporary circuitry, this microphone delivers a professional analog warmth ideal for vocals, streaming, podcasting, acoustic instruments, drums, and a wide range of other applications.
Vintage-Accurate K87-Style Capsule: The WA-87jr accurately replicates the renowned dual-backplate, large-diaphragm K87-style capsule used in the classic ‘87 microphones. It maintains the original’s hole pattern and frequency response while incorporating a discrete signal path with ultra-low self-noise. This results in a clean, professional sound ideally suited for vocals, streaming, voice-over, instruments, and various other recording needs.
Selectable Polar Patterns, Pad & Filter: The WA-87jr offers three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8, providing precise control over microphone focus—from intimate close-miking to capturing room ambiance. Its integrated pad and high-pass filter enhance versatility by enabling the handling of high SPL sources and minimizing low-frequency rumble. These features combine to make the WA-87jr an adaptable microphone suitable for diverse recording environments.
