Warm Audio WA-47 Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

Make your recordings resonate with the unparalleled quality of the WA-47 Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone, a professional-grade, versatile audio tool that harkens back to the golden era of sound recording. Inspired by the iconic '47 microphone that has shaped the sound of music for over half a century, the WA-47 is meticulously engineered to meet the demanding standards of modern pro studios, home studios, live performances, and broadcast environments.

Crafted for excellence, the WA-47 boasts a custom true '47 capsule reproduction (model# WA-47-B-80v), featuring a gold sputtered, dual large diaphragm with a single backplate and 6 microns NOS mylar (PET film). This precision-designed capsule ensures a faithful recreation of the classic '47 sound, capturing the essence of the original with a contemporary touch.

The heart of the WA-47's warm and rich audio output lies in its Slovak Republic JJ 5751 vacuum tube. This carefully selected, low noise tube accentuates the natural characteristics of the capsule and transformer, delivering a tonally smooth and vintage sound that is both authentic and captivating.

Integral to the microphone's exceptional performance is the American-made TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer. With its large core and imported German laminations, this transformer is the secret behind the microphone's creamy highs and robust lows, embodying the larger-than-life sound expected from a '47 style condenser microphone.

Connectivity is enhanced by the inclusion of a premium Gotham 5 meter GAC-7, 7-pin tube microphone cable from Switzerland. This high-end cable is designed to maximize the microphone's presence and the breadth of the stereo field, minimizing phase shift and parasitic effects that can detract from the recording's clarity.

The WA-47's internal components are a testament to Warm Audio's commitment to quality. The microphone employs a polystyrene coupling capacitor for an uncompressed top-end response, Wima film capacitors for consistent performance, and an imported Solen French capacitor that drives the output, ensuring that every nuance of the sound is captured with precision.

Housed in a durable wooden case for protection, the WA-47 is not only reliable but also a visually striking addition to any recording setup. Whether you're capturing the subtle dynamics of vocals, the rich harmonics of acoustic instruments, or the powerful impact of drums, the WA-47's multi-pattern capabilities provide the flexibility needed for any recording scenario.

Embrace the legacy of the classic '47 with the Warm Audio WA-47 Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone, and bring a piece of recording history into your sound with a microphone that stands the test of time in both performance and design.
