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.

K47-Style Capsule

With just the right peaks where most vocals sit, the capsule inside the WA-47 will quickly make this a favorite mic for vocals and any source where vintage vibe is a must.

AMI USA-MADE Output Transformer

The history of TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) transformers goes all the way back to the founding of the most sought-after German analog audio innovations. The TAB (AMI) transformer in the WA-47 is American-made and built to exacting standards as designed by Oliver Archut. The sweet sonic character of the WA-47 would not be possible without the amazing, historically-correct transformer supplied by TAB-Funkenwerk.

The WA-47 is encased in an ultra-durable nickel-plated brass body with an updated headbasket shape adding additional space around the capsule. Every single WA-47 is meticulously hand-inspected at Warm HQ in Austin,TX by real musicians and engineers with a passion for superior sound.
