In its element when used with vocals, the WA-47 is also excellent for recording acoustic guitars and other instruments such as piano, strings and even drums. With the faithfully recreated vintage k47-style capsule, this microphone was designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response as the original, to provide you with a warm-sounding mic with great fidelity and a wide frequency response.

A Slovak Republic JJ 5751 tube ensures low-noise operation, with lower gain to push the sonics of the k47-inspired capsule and transformer. This allows them to essentially be more audible, much more so than the tube's higher gain counterparts will give. Speaking of the transformer, the TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA transformer delivers a smooth and warm top-end to keep down any piercing or brittle frequencies. It also really opens up its low-end response, something which the original '47 lacked in comparison.

Here's what Warm Audio say about the WA-47 Vintage Tube Microphone:

Blast from the past

The WA-47 is an all vacuum tube, large diaphragm, transformer balanced, multi-pattern (9), large condenser microphone, based on the classic ‘47 that has been used on countless hit records for the last 50+ years.  The WA-47 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass/woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.

The classic ‘47 became extremely popular as a vocal microphone in the 1960’s and is now considered to be one of the greatest microphones ever made.  The classic ‘47 mic is still widely used today in professional recording studios but has become extremely rare and expensive to acquire. We at Warm Audio are very excited to bring this all vacuum tube, large diaphragm, transformer balanced, '47 style, large condenser microphone to the market at such an affordable price.  We feel confident that you will enjoy a lifetime of beautiful recordings with the WA-47.

True '47 style capsule

The WA-47 utilizes a custom reproduction of the vintage k47 style capsule that was used in the classic ‘47 microphone – designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response.  Every Warm Audio capsule is made in the same small assembly house in a clean-room environment,  and packaged in its own protective jewel case until the
