Warm Audio WA-87jr SE Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Nickel)

The Warm Audio WA-87jr SE is a streamlined, cardioid-only condenser microphone inspired by one of the most revered vocal microphones in studio history. Featuring a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K87-style capsule and fully discrete signal path, the WA-87jr SE delivers the signature warmth, clarity, and detail of a vintage ’87-style mic—tailored for today’s creators.

With a fixed cardioid pickup pattern, the WA-87jr SE focuses on sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting unwanted room noise—ideal for vocals, voice-overs, streaming, instruments, and more. Its modern transformerless design and ultra-low self-noise ensure clean, professional results without complexity. Hand-tested in Austin, TX and bundled with a custom hardmount and leather storage pouch, the WA-87jr SE offers legendary analog tone in a simple, refined package.
