Warm Audio LDC 87 Type Transformerless Condenser Mic, Nickel

The 87 Series: Pristine Clarity and Studio Polish

Both the WA-87jr and the WA-87jr Studio Essential recreate the iconic tone of the famous ‘87-style studio microphone—renowned for its pristine top end, detailed midrange, and polished vocal presence. Following the design of our professional WA-87 R2 microphone, these FET-based mics bring the unmistakable clarity and character of classic studio sound into a modern, transformerless format. Each mic is built around Warm Audio’s K87-style capsule, accurately recreating one of the most sought-after large-diaphragm capsules in recording history, delivering the all-time studio favorite tone found on countless legendary vocal and instrument tracks.

The WA-87jr features a dual-backplate K87-style capsule paired with a transformerless, low-noise circuit for clean, articulate sound across a wide range of sources. With three selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8), a -10 dB pad for capturing loud sources, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter for reducing unwanted low-frequency noise, it’s a versatile tool for lead vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, and more. With a professional shockmount, hard mount, and leather storage pouch, this mic is right at home in a pro studio or a personal setup.
