  2025/09/05

  As new-format versions of the popular condenser mics “WA-47” and “WA-87 R2,” the feature-rich Jr series and the simple-design Jr Studio Essential (SE) series have arrived!
  All models are equipped with the same professional-grade capsules as the flagship studio microphones, delivering the iconic studio sound to a wider range of creative users at an attainable price. A must-see for anyone seeking a truly professional recording microphone!
  
  ■WA-47jr SE
  “WA-47jr Studio Essential (SE)” inherits the core tone of the WA-47jr through a straightforward fixed cardioid design that employs a single-backplate version of the K47-style capsule. Like the Jr model, it features ultra-low self-noise, wide dynamic range, and a fully discrete signal path, providing professional studio sound right out of the box. Ideal for musicians, streamers, podcasters, and voice artists who want legendary analog tone without needing pattern switching or onboard controls.
  
  ■WA-87jr
  “WA-87jr” combines a dual-backplate K87-style capsule with a transformerless, low-noise circuit to deliver a clear and expressive sound suitable for a wide range of sources. In addition to three polar patterns—cardioid, omni, and figure-8—it includes a -10 dB pad for handling loud sources and an 80 Hz high-pass filter to suppress unwanted low-frequency noise. From lead vocals to acoustic instruments and drums, it excels in diverse applications. It also comes with a professional shockmount, hard mount, and leather storage pouch, enabling an ideal setup not only in professional studios but also at home.
  
  ■WA-87jr SE
  “WA-87jr Studio Essential (SE)” retains the core sound character of the WA-87jr while simplifying the design. With a fixed cardioid configuration and a single-backplate version of the same K87-style capsule, it delivers clear, open highs and a clean, focused midrange.
  Like the Jr model, it features ultra-low self-noise, wide dynamic range, and a fully discrete signal path, faithfully reproducing analog warmth and intricate detail. Perfect for creators—vocalists, voice actors, acoustic instrumentalists, podcasters, and streamers—who want professional studio tone in a single, compact mic.
