The "Studio Essential" Series: Warm Audio DNA in a Simplified Version

To make studio sound more accessible, Warm Audio offers the "Studio Essential" series, a streamlined version of its WA-47jr and WA-87jr microphones. The idea is clear: retain the essentials of the sonic signature (discrete signal path, generous dynamics, very low noise floor, and a "pro studio" character), while simplifying the design. On the WA-87 JR SE, this notably translates to a fixed cardioid polar pattern and a simplified circuit, focusing on essentials without sacrificing the fundamentals that make the range successful.

A Microphone Designed for Vocals, Podcasting, and Quick Takes in the Home Studio

The Warm Audio WA-87 JR SE is aimed at musicians, voice-over artists, podcasters, and creators seeking a versatile and flattering large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Its fixed cardioid pattern helps better isolate the source (voice, acoustic guitar, amp, percussion, controlled room) while limiting room sound capture. The result: cleaner takes that are easier to mix, even in untreated environments.

Detail, Presence, and Control: The WA-87 JR SE Formula

A Balanced Sonic Signature to Fit in the Mix

Designed to deliver fine highs, detailed mids, and precise lows, the WA-87 JR SE aims for a clear and modern reproduction while maintaining a "studio" texture. Its very low noise floor is a real asset for intimate vocals, voice-over, and podcasts, where every nuance counts and where the processing chain (compression, EQ, de-essing) can quickly raise the noise of a noisier microphone.

Discrete FET, Transformerless: Precision and Dynamics

With its fully discrete signal path and transformerless FET design, this microphone emphasizes fast response and excellent transient handling. The 138 dB (A) dynamic range provides comfortable headroom to go from soft vocals to more powerful performances, or from delicate instruments to more energetic sources, without losing clarity.

Built-in Tools to Secure Your Takes

The WA-87 JR SE includes a 70 Hz high-pass filter to reduce vibrations, residual plosives, and handling noise, as well as a -10 dB attenuator pad to handle stronger sources. With a maximum SPL rated up to 157 dB SPL (depending on configuration), it performs well on demanding takes (brass, percussion, close-miked amps), while remaining relevant for close vocals.

Included Accessories, Ready for the Studio

In the "essential but serious" spirit, Warm Audio ships the microphone with a custom rigid mic mount and a leather storage pouch, handy for protecting the capsule between sessions and for transport.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Warm Audio WA-87 JR SE Black suitable for podcasting and voice-over?

Its fixed cardioid pattern limits room pickup and enhances voice isolation. The self-noise of 9 dB(A) is appropriate for intimate recordings and vocal processing. The 70 Hz high-pass filter reduces vibrations and residual plosives.

What connection and power supply does this microphone require?

The output is via an XLR connector, with a maximum output impedance of 100 ohms. No power supply information is provided in the specifications.

Can the WA-87 JR SE handle a guitar amp or percussion?

Thanks to the -10 dB pad, the maximum SPL reaches 157 dB SPL at 1 kHz with 0.5% THD. Without the attenuator, the specified maximum SPL is 147 dB SPL. This headroom allows capturing loud sources such as a close mic’d amp, brass instruments, or percussion.
