Offered in a nickel finish, the Warm Audio WA-47jr Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone is a large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone that aims to replicate the tonal qualities of classic solid-state U47 microphones. It is ideal for vocalists, musicians, and recording engineers working in various recording environments. This versatile microphone offers three polar patterns including cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8, allowing it to excel in capturing a wide range of sounds from intimate vocals to ambient room tones. It also features a -10 dB pad switch to handle high sound pressure levels up to 157 dB and a high-pass filter to reduce excessive low frequencies below 70 Hz caused by proximity effect.
The WA-47jr utilizes a K47-style capsule reproduction with dual gold-sputtered, 6-micron Mylar diaphragms and a single backplate. Its signal path is fully discrete and incorporates Toshiba FETs, WIMA film capacitors, and Panasonic electrolytic capacitors, ensuring a clean and transparent sound without the need for transformers. Compatible with most mixing consoles and mic preamps, it boasts a gold-plated XLR 3-pin connector and operates with 48V phantom power. The microphone comes complete with a vibration-reducing shockmount and a compact hardmount, providing flexibility in positioning and placement options.
