With its fixed cardioid pattern, the mic focuses on the source, keeping out background noise. Each mic is tested by hand in Austin, Texas, ensuring every unit delivers clean, professional results right out of the box.

Single-Backplate K87-Style Capsule Delivers Classic Studio Character

The heart of this Warm Audio condenser is a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K87-style capsule. Engineers modeled this design after vintage '87 microphones, which are known for their smooth, detailed sound. By recreating the exact capsule structure and frequency curve, the mic brings out the natural tone in vocals, acoustic guitar and other sources. This design produces polished, upfront recordings that stand out in a mix.

Cardioid Polar Pattern Rejects Off-Axis Noise

This large-diaphragm condenser uses a fixed cardioid pickup pattern, meaning it captures sound right in front of the capsule and rejects noise from the sides and rear. In untreated rooms or noisy spaces, the design isolates your voice or instrument, cutting out unwanted reflections and background sounds. This feature lets creators record clear, direct tracks without needing a treated studio.

Simple Controls Make Recording and Setup Straightforward

Engineers kept the layout on the WA-87jr SE streamlined, skipping switches or multi-pattern options. Just connect the XLR cable, mount the mic and start tracking. The low self-noise and high dynamic range mean you can record soft and loud sources without fuss. Each microphone comes with a hard mount and a leather storage pouch, making setup and teardown quick in any environment.

Durable Construction and Hand-Tested Reliability

This Warm Audio condenser features a sturdy metal body and a precision-mounted capsule. All internal components use high-quality parts, and each mic gets hand-tested by the Austin, Texas team before shipping. The included accessories protect the unit during storage and travel, while the build quality ensures consistent performance from session to session.
