When the company turned its attention to microphones with the WA-87, it set a high target: one of the most iconic large-diaphragm, multi-pattern FET condenser mics in history. To say Warm Audio succeeded would be an understatement: the original WA-87 was a best-seller here at Music Experience. Now, with the WA-87jr, Warm Audio has made its modern classic more accessible than ever before. Featuring the same dual-backplate, gold-sputtered K87-style capsule and multi-pattern functionality as found in the company’s WA-87 R2 microphone, the Warm Audio WA-87jr brings the professional sound and versatility of coveted vintage large-diaphragm mics within reach to an even wider audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAffordable Modern Incarnation of a Legendary Mic\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlash back to any top recording studio in the 1970s. You’ll see the venerable ’87 everywhere: on toms, overheads, guitar cabs, brass, congas, vocals — you name it. Music Experience engineers who have worked with different generations of this perennial studio favorite know that the vintage ones have a warmer, more forgiving sonic character. By using a modern 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 a price that is almost too good to be true!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Can the WA-87jr Do for You?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-87jr is designed after a legendary one. You can use the WA-87jr on anything with world-class results. It’s great for vocals. It makes drums sound huge. It’s a must-have for adding a bit of room to complement a close dynamic or ribbon mic on a guitar cabinet. It’s an ideal choice for any acoustic instrument — strings, brass, woodwinds, or percussion. We’ve even used it on a kick drum (where the -10dB pad comes in handy)! It’s equipped with a 70Hz highpass filter that’s useful for eliminating low-end mud and rumble. And its three polar patterns further increase this microphone’s already impressive versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eExplore the Sonic Possibilities\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87jr’s three switchable polar patterns — cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 — give you immense flexibility when it comes to exploring the sonic possibilities offered by different recording techniques. Figure-8 (bidirectional) is perfect for capturing face-to-face recordings, such as two background singers on one mic. This pattern also features aggressive side rejection, which makes it a useful option for miking backline amps and speaker cabinets. With two of these superb mics, you can implement stereo techniques, such as spaced pair (A\/B), XY (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and mid-side (M-S). You could even mic an entire symphony orchestra and the ambience of the hall it’s in with just three judiciously placed WA-87jr microphones set to omni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Warm Audio Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87jr series is a contemporary version of the iconic 87-style studio microphone that captures pristine, detailed tone with modern circuitry. WA-87jr \u0026amp; WA-87jr SE mics are equally at home in a project studio or in a world-class recording facility. Each features a vintage-correct reproduction of the celebrated K87-style capsule, the same capsule found in the flagship WA-87 R2 condenser mic. The capsule has the same tonal character known for capturing legendary recordings by classic and modern artists including David Bowie, Elton John, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDelivering a Legacy Of Pristine Studio Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining one of the most revered vocal condenser capsules of all time with modern, carefully crafted circuitry, the WA-87jr series delivers rich detail and top-end clarity for capturing everything from vocals, to acoustic guitars, drum overheads, and more. Available with onboard controls and multiple patterns or a streamlined cardioid-only design, the WA-87jr mics all feature a discrete signal path, exceptional dynamic range, and ultra-low self-noise. The sound profile of the WA-87jr series blends past and present to achieve the perfect balance of pristine detail with never-harsh high-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Need to Know\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87jr series is built around the same vintage-accurate K87-style capsule used in the flagship WA-87 R2 mic. The WA-87jr offers additional controls and multiple polar patterns, while the WA-87jr SE delivers a streamlined cardioid-only design that preserves the classic tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87jr series uses a true reproduction of the K87-style capsule from the original 87 mic — the same capsule used in the award-winning WA-87 R2 professional microphone. It’s perfect for adding radio-ready polish to any recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-87jr features three polar patterns (cardioid, omni, and figure-8), allowing flexible stereo capture and versatile noise rejection.
