Warm Audio WA-47 Large-Diaphragm Studio Tube Condenser Microphone
When legends like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and countless Grammy winners needed to capture pure vocal magic, they reached for the classic '47 microphone. The Warm Audio WA-47 brings that legendary sound back from the dead — without the heart-stopping vintage price tag.
Built with obsessive attention to detail and packed with premium components, this isn't just a microphone; it's your direct line to 50+ years of hit-making history.
Why the WA-47 Deserves a Spot in Your Studio
From the moment you fire up this all-vacuum tube beauty, you'll understand why the original '47 became the holy grail of studio microphones. The WA-47 doesn't just sound like those legendary originals — it sounds indistinguishable from them, breathing new life into vocals, instruments, and anything else you point it at.
True K47-Style Capsule: Hand-crafted by an Australian capsule manufacturer in a clean room environment, each capsule replicates the exact hole pattern and frequency response of the vintage original. This isn't some generic capsule slapped into a pretty body — it's the sonic heart of what made the '47 a legend.
Slovak JJ 5751 Vacuum Tube: After auditioning four different tube brands, Warm Audio fell in love with this lower-gain, ultra-low-noise tube that lets the capsule and transformer sing without interference. The result? Smooth, vintage sonics that feel like sonic velvet.
Nine Polar Patterns: From cardioid to figure-8 and everything in between, the WA-47 adapts to any recording situation. Solo vocals, drum overheads, acoustic guitar, or full orchestral sections — this mic handles it all with vintage class.
Performance That Puts Studios on Notice
The WA-47 isn't just about looking the part — it delivers the goods where it counts. Every component was carefully selected to ensure this microphone performs like the studio legends that inspired it.
TAB-Funkenwerk USA Transformer: This American-made transformer features large-core German laminations that deliver the creamy smooth top end and larger-than-life bottom end that defines the '47 sound. It's like having a vintage studio compressor built right into your signal path.
Gotham Audio GAC-7 Cable: Most manufacturers skimp on the 7-pin cable, but Warm Audio partnered with boutique Swiss cable makers Gotham Audio for their top-shelf GAC-7. This isn't just connecting your mic to power — it's preserving every nuance of your performance by eliminating phase shift and parasitic effects.
Premium Capacitor Selection: From polystyrene coupling capacitors for uncompressed top-end response to imported Solen French output capacitors, every electrical component was chosen for maximum sonic fidelity. These aren't generic parts — they're the building blocks of legendary tone.
Built Like a Tank, Sounds Like Heaven
The WA-47 proves that accessible doesn't mean compromised. Every detail, from the visual inspection of each capsule to the jewel case packaging, screams professional-grade quality.
Clean Room Manufacturing: Each capsule is assembled in a controlled clean room environment and electrically tested for imperfections. Your WA-47 isn't just another microphone off the assembly line — it's a precision instrument built to last decades.
Professional Studio Versatility: Designed for pro studios, home studios, live applications, and broadcast work, the WA-47 excels on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, piano, strings, brass, woodwinds, and virtually any source you can imagine.
Vintage-Matched Sonics: After extensive comparison testing with two different vintage '47 microphones, Warm Audio tailored the WA-47's sound to sit perfectly alongside those legendary originals - capturing the magic of the past while delivering the reliability of modern manufacturing.
Your Gateway to Legendary Sound
The Warm Audio WA-47 puts that history within reach of musicians, engineers, and producers who demand legendary sound without the legendary price tag. This is your chance to join the ranks of artists who've relied on the '47 sound for over five decades.

AMAZING MICROPHONE! KILLER VOCALS!
This mic is an absolute game changer in regards to clarity and providing a vocal sound that is up there with some of the most expensive studio mics. I would not sleep on this microphone if you are in the market. This is the #1 mic I would recommend in this price range for vocals. Amazing for singers...
