Warm Audio WA-87jr Large-Diaphragm Transformerless FET Condenser Microphone, Microphone (Large-diaphragm condenser, K87 capsule, FET design, professional studio sound)

Great mic. Gain is super low compared to real UA87. Hard to discern between the two so it’s an excellent clone!

Bueno bonito y barato, por las características que ofrece puede ser una gran compra si es tu primer micrófono de condensador, además warm audio es una excelente marca calidad precio

This is a Jr. version and is reality very professional. It blows away other options that cost much more. It's a great option for professional studio sound at a cost far below that of renowned German brands.

I've been testing this mic for the past couple of weeks doing voice recording and also recording my violin and the sound quality is really impressive. The clarity you get right out of the box is superb, it captures all the detail and nuance without making things sound harsh or overly bright. When I recorded my violin the mic picked up the resonance and overtones beautifully, making it sound natural and full bodied instead of thin or tinny like some cheaper mics do. The low self noise is immediately noticeable, especially when recording quieter passages or when I'm just speaking at a normal volume . There's no annoying hiss or background noise that you have to deal with later in post production which saves a ton of time. The three polar patterns give you a lot of flexibility too. I mostly use cardioid for focused recording but the omnidirectional mode is great for capturing the natural ambience of the room when recording acoustic instruments. Build quality is excellent, it feels like a professional piece of gear and not some flimsy consumer product. The all metal construction is solid and heavy in a good way. The included shockmount is actually really well made and does a great job of isolating the mic from stand vibrations and bumps. The pad and high pass filter switches are handy for dealing with louder sources or cutting out rumble. What really stands out is how balanced the frequency response is across the board. Vocals come through warm and present without any weird peaks or dips. The highs are crisp and detailed but never pierce your ears, and the mids are clear without being boxy. When I get close to the mic there's a nice proximity effect that adds some body to the voice without it getting boomy or overwhelming. For the price this mic punches way above its weight class and competes with mics that cost several times more. Overall this is a fantastic microphone for anyone doing serious recording work at home or in a small studio. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments like violin, or even podcasts this mic delivers professional studio grade sound. Pros: - Superb sound quality for vocals and instruments - Very low self noise, super quiet - Balanced frequency response with crisp highs - Solid metal construction feels professional - Three polar patterns for versatility - Quality shockmount included! Cons: - Switches have slight wiggle but still functional and no issues at all so far - No carrying case - Requires phantom power (standard for condensers)

There’s no question that this Warm Audio 87jr microphone is made for professional set ups. I am not a professional so in many ways, I cannot understand or hear some of the features listed for this microphone. That really doesn’t matter because what I can tell is that the sound is amazing and I don’t even know what I’m doing. You can hear a real richness when you record and I’ve only recorded me speaking. This model has extra features that you may not need unless you’re a professional. I do not need three selectable polar patterns nor do I need to adjust the decibels on the other switch. Having said all that I can hear the sound I’m getting without knowing what I’m doing. I can only imagine what it sounds like for a professional who knows what to do. I look forward to playing with this and integrating it into my current creations. Yes it’s amazing. It feels amazing. It’s heavy. It’s metal. It’s impressive and it comes with a shock mount, case and five year warranty. Based on my limited research of microphones, the price point seems very attractive for what it offers.
