However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Warm Audio WA-87jr is a studio condenser microphone made for producers, vocalists, and musicians who want the unmistakable sound of the classic '87 mic in a more accessible format. Built around a vintage-accurate K87-style capsule, it captures the smooth highs, rich mids, and natural warmth that defined countless hit records. Meticulously recreating the tone, the WA-87jr recreates the tone of this iconic microphone championed by countless musical legends such as Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Tom Petty and many more.
Product Ref: 344485
The WA-87jr delivers the timeless sound of classic studio recordings using a modern design that strips away unnecessary cost without sacrificing tone. At the core is a dual-backplate K87-style capsule, designed to closely match the frequency response and hole pattern of the original studio mics used on countless legendary recordings. This gives you the signature vocal presence, rich midrange and airy highs associated with the most famous condenser mics in history.
Because the WA-87jr uses a transformerless circuit path, you also get lower self-noise and a cleaner signal, making it suitable for both treated and untreated rooms. It’s a smart choice if you’re after vintage-inspired tone in a format that suits modern workflows, whether you’re a home recordist or a seasoned engineer.
Three selectable polar patterns make the WA-87jr adaptable to different sources, spaces and styles. Cardioid is perfect for solo vocals, voiceovers or podcasts where focus is essential. Switch to figure-8 to capture two sound sources equally from the front and back, or use omnidirectional to pick up the full character of your room or ensemble performance.
This flexibility makes the WA-87jr more than just a vocal mic. You can use it as a room mic for drums, a stereo pair with another mic for acoustic instruments, or even on overheads and pianos when you want to retain natural ambience. It’s a studio workhorse that adapts quickly to the task at hand.
The WA-87jr includes a switchable -10 dB pad, which helps manage louder sources like drums or guitar amps without introducing distortion. It also features an 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble or handling noise. These tools give you extra control when setting up your session and can help reduce the need for post-processing.
Both features are easy to access and adjust, so you can respond quickly to what’s happening in the room. This makes the mic especially useful in dynamic recording environments, where you might be switching between instruments or styles throughout a session.
The WA-87jr comes with everything you need to get started right away. It includes a professional shockmount for isolating the mic from vibrations and stand noise, a hardmount for simpler setups, and a leather storage pouch for safe transport or storage between sessions.
Every unit is hand-tested and inspected in Austin, Texas, by a team of technicians who understand the needs of musicians and engineers. The build quality reflects that attention to detail, with a sturdy design that’s built to last. It’s a microphone you can rely on session after session, whether you’re recording at home or in a professional studio.
