Warm Audio WA-87 Jr. Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Silver

The Warm Audio WA-87 Jr.: Vintage-Inspired Versatility for the Modern Studio

Classic studio tone reimagined

The Warm Audio WA-87 Jr. brings the sonic DNA of the legendary ‘87-style microphone into a modern, transformerless design that’s accessible to today’s creators. Known for its balance of pristine highs, detailed mids, and tight low end, this large-diaphragm condenser captures the character that made its inspiration a studio icon, now with a contemporary twist.

True-to-vintage K87-style capsule

A dual-backplate, gold-sputtered K87-style capsule sets this mic apart, it is a precise recreation of one of the most revered microphone designs in history. Engineered to the same hole pattern and frequency response as the original, this capsule offers the same warm, polished sound profile that continues to define professional recordings.

Flexible polar patterns, pad, and filter

Adaptable to nearly any recording situation, the WA-87 Jr. features three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional—providing options from intimate solo takes to natural room ambiance. The built-in -10 dB pad handles loud sources with ease, while the 70 Hz high-pass filter helps tame unwanted low-frequency rumble for cleaner, more focused recordings.

Professional-grade performance with modern reliability

With its fully discrete, transformerless circuit design, the WA-87 Jr. delivers an impressively low self-noise level of 9 dBA and a wide dynamic range of 116 dBA. It’s a microphone equally suited for capturing vocals, streaming, and voiceover as it is for instruments like acoustic guitar, piano, drums, or guitar amps, providing consistent, professional-grade sound at every turn.

Hand-tested and road-ready accessories

Every WA-87 Jr. is hand-tested by Warm Audio’s team in Austin, TX to ensure consistent quality. Each microphone comes equipped with a professional shockmount, a hard mount for more compact setups, and a premium leather storage pouch for protection on the go, giving you a complete solution straight out of the box.
