Authentic Reproduction Of The Most Coveted Mic For Timeless Studio Sound
Timeless Studio Sound
The WA-47 is an authentic reproduction of the most coveted tube condenser microphone, hailed for its timeless studio sound. The WA-47 accurately matches the sonic profile of the prized vintage originals delivering the deep bass, rich midrange, and smooth highs that made it a favorite of legendary recording artists like Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Elton John and many more.
A Proper Recreation Of A Studio Legend
The WA-47 is designed and built to deliver the most authentic vintage 47-style sound with zero corners cut. Just like the original, the WA-47 circuit allows a lot of low-end and mid detail to come through. While the lows and mids come together to capture all the rich warmth and detail of acoustic instruments, vocals benefit greatly from the smooth and pleasing top end of the WA-47. The coveted and unmistakably vintage sound profile of the WA-47 makes it the perfect choice to create timeless music.
Key Features
Like the original 47-style mic, the WA-47 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.
The WA-47 uses a true reproduction of the K47-style capsule in the original 47 tube mic. Perfect for recordings where vintage vibe is a must.
The custom USA-made AMI transformer drives the bold sound captured by the capsule, delivering the full body, warmth, and richness out of the WA-47 circuit.
The premium 5751 vacuum tube in the WA-47 delivers rich analog tone with exceptionally low gain - ideal for intimate recordings, especially on vocals.
The WA-47 has three key polar patterns - Cardioid, Omni, & Figure-8. Six additional patterns in-between provide ultimate flexibility and versatility for a variety of recording applications.
