Contemporary Studio Classic – The Warm Audio WA-87jr Condenser Microphone - Nickel
The WA-87jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘87-style microphone, the most sought after mic for studio vocals, with a modern circuit design and professional recording features. Combining a transformerless modern circuit with a premium recreation of the vintage dual-backplate K87 capsule, WA-87jr delivers pristine highs, detailed mids, and rich analog tone with low self-noise. Three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional, provide needed flexibility for recording vocals, podcasts/streaming, and all types of instruments. The WA-87jr delivers one of the most legendary analog microphone sound profiles with professional recording features at an unthinkable price.
- Classic studio sound, contemporary design: The WA-87jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘87-style microphone, delivering pristine highs and detailed mids with a modern multi-pattern condenser design.
