Warm Audio WA-87jr Nickel Large-Diaphragm FET Transformerless Condenser Microphone
Brand NEW! Authorized Dealer!
Warm Audio WA-87jr Nickel is a modern take on one of the most iconic studio microphones in recording history, finished in a classic nickel body. This large-diaphragm transformerless FET condenser microphone combines the legendary “87-style” sonic character with modern circuitry to deliver pristine detail, clarity, and professional performance in any recording environment.
At the core of the WA-87jr Nickel is a faithful reproduction of the K87-style capsule — the same capsule design used in the flagship WA-87 R2 microphone. Known for its detailed midrange, smooth top-end, and balanced response, this capsule has been the foundation of countless legendary recordings by artists such as David Bowie, Elton John, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake.
The transformerless FET design and fully discrete signal path ensure accurate signal reproduction, wide dynamic range, and ultra-low self-noise. The WA-87jr Nickel perfectly balances vintage-inspired tone with modern precision, making it an ideal choice for vocals and instruments alike.

The WA-87jr Nickel delivers clean, open, and detailed sound with a clear high-end and focused midrange. High frequencies remain smooth and never harsh, while vocals sit forward in the mix with clarity and presence.
