Classic Studio Sound, Contemporary Design – The Warm Audio WA-47jr Condenser Microphone - Nickel 

The WA-47jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘47-style microphone, known for rich analog warmth, with a modern circuit design and professional recording features. The custom K47-style capsule captures detailed mids, warm lows, and smooth highs delivering timeless sound on vocals, instruments, and more. The transformerless circuit provides analog warmth with plenty of clean headroom, perfect for any genre. With three selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8) plus a 10 dB pad and 70 Hz high-pass filter, the WA-47jr offers the flexibility and tone of a classic tube mic in a modern FET design at an unthinkable price.

• Classic studio sound, contemporary design: The WA-47jr is a contemporary version of the iconic ‘47-style microphone, delivering lush warmth and classic tone with a modern multipattern condenser design. Combining one of the most legendary condenser capsules of all time with carefully designed contemporary circuitry, the WA-47jr delivers rich analog warmth on sources like vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, pianos, streaming/podcast and more
• Vintage-accurate K47-style capsule: The WA-47jr features a true reproduction of the vintage dual-backplate, large-diaphragm K47-style capsule found in the most sought-after ‘47 microphones. Designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response as the original studio mic using a discrete signal path with ultra-low self-noise, WA-47jr delivers a rich analog tone perfect for vocals, instruments, and more
• Selectable polar patterns, pad and filter: The WA-47jr features three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8.
