Affordable studio-quality sound secured with three retro-style condensor microphones, according to Warm Audio's recent announcement.
Warm Audio, known for its premium vintage-inspired condenser microphones, has expanded its line-up with three new additions to its Junior Series. The Junior Studio Essentials series delivers the same tonal profile and high-fidelity signal path as the Junior range, but at a lower price point, making it accessible for musicians, streamers, and podcasters working in home studios on limited budgets.
The new models in the Junior Series include the WA-87jr, WA-87jr SE, and WA-47jr SE. The WA-87jr, priced at $299/£299/€349, features the same large-diaphragm capsule as its flagship counterpart, the K87-style dual-backplate capsule found in Warm Audio's WA-87. It benefits from transformerless, low-noise FET circuitry for clean and transparent audio. The WA-87jr offers three adjustable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8), a 70Hz high-pass filter, and a -10dB pad.
On the other hand, the WA-47jr and WA-87jr SE are priced at $199/£199/€219. These models feature single-backplate versions of their respective capsules and have a fixed cardioid design. The WA-47jr SE and WA-87jr SE are stripped-back versions of their counterparts, offering a simpler design without pattern switching or onboard controls.
Both models in the Junior Series come bundled with a hardmount and leather storage pouch, unlike the WA-47jr and WA-87jr. The Junior Studio Essentials series is designed for those who want "legendary analogue tone" without the need for additional features.
The Warm Audio WA-87jr, WA-87jr SE, and WA-47jr SE microphones were developed to build upon the company's flagship WA-87 and WA-47 microphones. They feature vintage-accurate capsules and modern circuit designs to deliver classic analog warmth and studio-quality sound at accessible prices.
