Warm Audio WA-87jr Microphone Nickel

Warm Audio WA-87JR Overview The Warm Audio WA-87jr is a contemporary, transformerless version of one of the most iconic studio microphones of all time. The WA-87jr has a quality K87-style dual-backplate capsule and a fully discrete signal channel, resulting in clean highs, detailed mids, and rich analog tone—ideal for voices, instruments, streaming, and voice-overs. Its three adjustable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—provide exceptional versatility for a variety of studio applications, while a switchable -10 dB pad and 80 Hz high-pass filter enhance control for noisy sources and low-end management. Hand-tested in Austin, Texas, the WA-87jr blends studio-quality sound with modern convenience. Whether you’re recording voices, capturing acoustic instruments, or preparing for a podcast, the WA-87jr produces professional-grade results at a great price. Includes shock mount, hard mount, and leather storage compartment. Affordable contemporary rendition of a renowned microphone. Think back to any great recording studio in the 1970s. The iconic ’87 can be found everywhere: on toms, overheads, guitar cabs, brass, congas, vocals—you name it. Engineers who have worked with previous incarnations of this perennial studio favorite know that the older models have a warmer, more forgiving acoustic quality. Using a contemporary transformerless circuit design and the same dual-backplate, gold-sputtered K87-style capsule as found in Warm Audio’s professional R2 series, the WA-87jr brings the heart and soul of the ’87 home to your studio at an almost unbelievable price! How can you benefit from the WA-87jr? Every studio requires at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphones, and the Warm Audio WA-87jr is based on a classic model. You can use the WA-87jr on anything and get world-class results. It’s ideal for vocalists. It makes drums sound enormous. It’s a must-have for providing some space to a guitar cabinet with a close dynamic or ribbon microphone. It’s an excellent choice for any acoustic instrument, including strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. We’ve even put it on a kick drum (the -10dB pad is quite useful)! It’s equipped with a 70Hz highpass filter that’s useful for eliminating low-end mud and rumble. And its three polar patterns add to this microphone’s already amazing flexibility. Explore the acoustic possibilities. The WA-87jr’s three switchable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—provide enormous freedom when it comes to exploring the audio possibilities given by various recording approaches. Figure-8 (bidirectional) is ideal for capturing face-to-face recordings, such as two backing vocalists using the same mic. This pattern also has extreme side rejection, making it ideal for miking backline amplifiers and speaker cabinets. With two of these excellent microphones, you may use stereo methods such as spaced pair (A/B), XY (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and mid-side (M-S). You could even mic a complete symphonic orchestra and the atmosphere of the venue with just three strategically positioned WA-87jr mics set to omni.
