Warm Audio WA-87jr Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic with Shockmount

The Warm Audio WA-87jr brings the world-famous '87 studio sound to a compact, affordable large-diaphragm condenser microphone built around a true reproduction of the K87-style dual-backplate capsule - the same capsule found in Warm Audio's award-winning flagship WA-87 R2. Paired with a clean, transformerless FET signal path, the WA-87jr delivers the rich, detailed, instantly recognizable character that has made the '87 a first-call vocal microphone for decades, now within reach of home studios, project rooms, podcasters, and content creators. Unlike the streamlined WA-87jr SE, which is fixed in cardioid, this full WA-87jr package gives you three switchable polar patterns - cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 - for flexible miking of vocals, voiceover, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, room capture, and stereo or duet techniques. A switchable -10 dB pad extends headroom to handle sources up to 135 dB SPL, while the 70 Hz high-pass filter tames rumble, plosive energy, and proximity buildup before it reaches your preamp. The WA-87jr also ships as a complete recording package: a professional shockmount isolates the microphone from stand vibration and floor noise, a hardmount adapter handles minimalist setups, and a leather storage pouch protects the mic between sessions. With 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, low self-noise of approximately 9 dBA, and standard 48V phantom power operation over XLR, the WA-87jr drops straight into any interface, console, or preamp chain and delivers studio-grade results from the first take.
