Warm Audio WA-87JR-N: A Studio Classic in an Accessible Jacket
The Warm Audio WA-87JR-N proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune for that distinctive, organic sound that is the backbone of countless hit recordings. Whether you’re a novice producer or a professional in need of additional “workhorse” microphones, the WA-87JR-N delivers the performance you expect from the Warm Audio family.
True to the Analog Original
The design of the WA-87JR-N adhered to the principles of vintage FET technology. This results in a sound that does not feel clinical or cold, but rather warm and musical:
Custom K87-style Capsule: The gold-sputtered, 6 micron thick capsule captures every detail from the source with a natural roll-off in the highs.
Premium Signal Path: Using Fairchild FETs and precision capacitors, the microphone offers excellent transient response and a very low noise floor.
Nickel Finish: The classic look of the “JR-N” variant fits perfectly into any professional microphone park.
Maximum Versatility: From Vocals to Overheads
The WA-87JR-N excels with its versatility. Thanks to its three switchable directional characteristics, there is no recording job this microphone cannot handle:
Cardioid: The standard for vocals and guitar amps, with excellent source focus.
Omnidirectional: Capture the full ambience of a room, ideal for choirs or chamber recordings.
Figure-8: Indispensable for podcast interviews or advanced stereo techniques such as Blumlein.
Built for Practice
The microphone features a -10 dB pad for recording loud sources (such as drums or brass instruments) and an 80 Hz high-pass filter to instantly eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble. The set comes complete with a sturdy shockmount and a wooden storage box, so you can get started right away.
