Warm AudioWA-87jr SE Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The WA-87jr SE pairs a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K87-style capsule with a fully discrete signal path in a large-diaphragm condenser. Its fixed cardioid pattern captures the source in front of the microphone and rejects sound from the sides and rear, a useful approach when recording around room reflections or background sound. The streamlined design omits pattern-selection controls, so setup stays direct. It has 9dBA self-noise, 116dBA dynamic range, and a 125dB maximum SPL, with a custom hard mount and leather pouch included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals or acoustic instruments with a focused front-facing cardioid pickup.
- Capturing direct tracks in untreated or noisy spaces while rejecting side and rear sound.
- Quick session setup with the included custom hard mount and storage pouch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Users who require selectable polar patterns or a multi-pattern microphone.
