Warm Audio WA-87jr SE Studio Vocal Microphone - Nickel

Large-diaphragm Condenser Cardioid Microphone with K87-style Capsule and Accessories - Nickel

Warm Audio’s acclaimed compressors and preamps have famously upset the pro audio price/performance ratio. 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. Now, with the WA-87jr SE, Warm Audio has made its modern classic more accessible than ever before. Featuring a fixed cardioid polar pattern and a streamlined single-backplate version of the gold-sputtered K87-style capsule found in the company’s WA-87 R2 microphone, the Warm Audio WA-87jr SE brings the professional sound of coveted vintage large-diaphragm mics within reach to an even wider audience.

Affordable modern incarnation of a legendary mic

Flash 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. Sweetwater 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 a single-backplate, gold-sputtered K87-style capsule derived from the one found in Warm Audio’s professional R2 series, the WA-87jr SE brings the heart and soul of the ’87 home to your studio at a price that is almost too good to be true!

What can the WA-87jr SE do for you?

Every studio needs at least one pair of high-quality large-diaphragm condenser mics, and the Warm Audio WA-87jr SE is designed after a legendary one. While the WA-87jr SE is particularly great for vocalists and podcasters, it’s also an ideal choice for any acoustic instrument — strings, brass, woodwinds, or percussion. Additionally, two of these mics on a piano sound simply exquisite.
