Warm Audio WA-47jr Black Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone - Classic Tone, Modern Versatility
This is the black finish version.
The Warm Audio WA-47jr Black is a transformerless FET condenser microphone that reimagines the iconic ‘47-style microphone with a modern design, delivering rich analog warmth at an accessible price. Featuring a custom K47-style dual-backplate capsule, it captures detailed mids, warm lows, and smooth highs, ideal for vocals, acoustic guitars, drums, pianos, and podcasting. With three polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8), a 10 dB pad, and a 70 Hz high-pass filter, the WA-47jr offers versatile performance for studio and streaming applications, complete with professional accessories.
Vintage-Inspired Capsule Design
The WA-47jr’s gold-sputtered, large-diaphragm K47-style capsule is a faithful reproduction of the vintage Neumann K47, with the same hole pattern and frequency response (20 Hz–20 kHz). Paired with a fully discrete signal path and ultra-low self-noise (9 dBA), it delivers lush, classic tone with exceptional clarity, making it perfect for capturing vocals, instruments, or ambient recordings with professional-grade fidelity.
Flexible Recording Options
With three selectable polar patterns—cardioid for focused sources, omnidirectional for room ambiance, and figure-8 for stereo techniques—the WA-47jr adapts to any recording scenario. A 10 dB pad handles high-SPL sources (up to 157 dB with pad), while the 70 Hz high-pass filter reduces rumble, ensuring clean recordings. The transformerless FET design provides ample headroom (138 dBA dynamic range) and warm analog character without the complexity of tube maintenance.
Professional Build and Accessories
Hand-tested in Austin, TX, the WA-47jr combines rugged construction with a sleek black finish. It includes a professional shockmount to minimize handling noise, a hardmount for compact setups, and a leather storage pouch for safe transport. With a low output impedance (100 ohms) and 10 mV/Pa sensitivity, it integrates seamlessly with any preamp or interface, delivering reliable performance for studio and broadcast use.
