Each microphone includes a shockmount, hard mount, and leather case, offering reliable performance, protection, and flexibility for any recording environment.
Vintage Capsule Accuracy:
At the heart of the WA-87jr is a faithful reproduction of the celebrated K87-style capsule, engineered with dual backplates and a gold-sputtered large diaphragm. This capsule design is historically recognised for its ability to capture vocal performances with warmth, clarity, and presence. Warm Audio have recreated the original hole pattern and frequency response to deliver authentic analogue tone that shines on vocals, acoustic instruments, and voiceover work. The capsule’s accuracy, combined with the fully discrete signal path, results in ultra-low self-noise and an unmistakably professional sound profile, making it a powerful choice for both studio engineers and creators working from home.
Versatility in Recording:
The WA-87jr offers three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional—providing flexibility for a range of recording applications. Cardioid delivers focused, intimate tones perfect for solo vocals and podcasting, while figure-8 excels at duets or capturing two sources facing the mic. Omnidirectional mode captures the natural ambience of a room, ideal for ensemble recording or creating a more spacious sound. The inclusion of a 10dB pad allows for clean recording of louder sources such as drums and guitar cabinets, while the 80Hz high-pass filter reduces low-end rumble and background noise. These features combine to make the WA-87jr a true all-rounder microphone, equally suited to professional studios and home recording setups.
