Features

• Classic Studio Sound, Contemporary Design: The WA-87jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘87-style microphone, delivering pristine highs and detailed mids with a modern multi-pattern condenser design. Combining possibly the greatest vocal condenser capsule tone of all time with carefully designed contemporary circuitry, the WA-87jr delivers professional analog tone on sources like vocals, streaming/podcasting, acoustic guitar, drums, and much more.
• Vintage-Accurate K87-Style Capsule: The WA-87jr features a true reproduction of the celebrated dual-backplate, large-diaphragm K87-style capsule found in the most sought-after ‘87 microphones. Designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response as the original studio mic (and used in our flagship WA-87 R2 mic) using a discrete signal path with ultra-low self-noise, WA-87jr delivers pristine, professional tone perfect for vocals, streaming/VO, instruments, and more.
• Selectable Polar Patterns, Pad & Filter: The WA-87jr features three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. Multiple patterns allow for precise control over the focus of the mic, from intimate “close” tones to capturing the natural ambiance of a room. The built-in pad and high-pass filter increase flexibility by making it easy to capture loud sources and reducing unwanted low-frequency noise. Together, these features make the WA-87jr a highly versatile microphone suited for a wide range of recording situations.
• Professional Accessories: All WA-87jr’s include a professional shockmount to reduce noise while recording, hardmount for minimalist mounting, and leather storage case for travel and storage.
