K87-Style Capsule
The custom K87-style capsule in the WA-87jr & WA-87jr SE is a true reproduction of the large, dual-diaphragm 87-style capsule and the same capsule in the flagship WA-87 R2 microphone. This capsule captures authentic analog detail across the 20Hz-20kHz frequency spectrum. With the detail of the capsule combined with the clean, pure signal transfer from the contemporary circuit design, the WA-87jr will be right at home on many sources.
10 dB PAD [WA-87jr ONLY]
A selectable -10dB pad allows the WA-87jr to handle SPLs up to 135dB, making capturing loud sources easy.
80 Hz High Pass Filter [WA-87jr ONLY]
Engaging the 80 Hz high pass filter helps remove unwanted bass rumble and noise at the source instead of playing with potentially tone-destructive EQ during the mixing process.
Premium, Discrete Analog Circutry
The WA-87jr & WA-87jr SE use premium Toshiba transistors and WIMA film capacitors for professional, discrete analog signal integrity.
The WA-87jr is built with Panasonic electrolytic capacitors that provide enhanced signal conversion, allowing the mic to get extra vintage vibe out of the K87-stye capsule for smooth, never-shrill tones.
Hand-tested, Elite Build Quality
Every single WA-87jr & WA-87jr SE is meticulously hand tested & inspected at Warm HQ in Austin,TX by real musicians and engineers with passion for superior sound.
