The WA-87jr SE brings the coveted sound of classic studio microphones into a focused, cardioid-only design that fits perfectly into modern workflows. Built around a gold-sputtered, single-backplate version of the iconic K87-style capsule, this mic captures the sparkling highs, clear mids, and natural warmth that have defined countless hit records. Its fully discrete signal path and ultra-low self-noise mean you’ll hear every subtle nuance of a vocal, acoustic guitar, piano, or drum overhead with no artifacts. Do what you do do well. By sticking with a fixed cardioid pattern, the WA-87jr SE does an exceptional job of focusing on your source while rejecting ambient noise and reflections that can cloud your tracks, especially helpful if you’re working in a space with less than ideal acoustics. The wide dynamic range ensures it can handle everything from soft, breathy takes to full-throttle belting without a blush. Out of the box, it comes with a custom hard mount and a premium leather pouch to keep it protected and ready for travel. Like every piece of Warm Audio gear, the WA-87jr SE is hand-tested in Austin, Texas by people who care about sound as much as you do, so it’s ready to bring authentic analog character to your next project.Warm Audio WA-87jr-SE ApplicationsVocals - Singing & Podcast/VO/StreamAcoustic GuitarPianoDrum OverheadsGuitar CabsToms/SnareStrings & HornsWarm Audio WA-87jr-SE FeaturesCaptures the classic studio sound with a cardioid-only design ideal for modern recording setupsFeatures a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K87-style capsule for clear mids, sparkling highs, and natural warmthFully discrete signal path with ultra-low self-noise for clean, detailed recordings across vocals, instruments, and moreFixed cardioid pattern isolates your source while rejecting unwanted room noise and reflectionsWide dynamic range handles everything from soft whispers to powerful vocals without distortionIncludes a custom hard mount and premium leather pouch for protection and easy transportHand-tested in Austin, Texas by Warm Audio technicians to ensure pro-level performance and reliabilityWarm Audio WA-87jr-SE SpecificationsSelf-Noise: 9dBA Dynamic Range: 116dBAMaximum SPL: 125dBFrequency Range: 20 Hz~20 KHzOutput Impedance: 100 OhmsSensitivity: -37dBV or 14mV/Pa Warm Audio WA-87jr-SE Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone - Black.
