Warm Audio WA-47 Condenser Microphone

Avg price: $926.40

Used for the vocals on Rockstar, as featured in this January 19, 2024 video by Warm Audio. Producer and engineer Kent Wells is quoted throughout (and appears in the middle of the video) while footage and a photo of Parton recording with the WA-47 is shown.

“I love that mic on her voice and used it for the entire record”

I’ve used the 47 a lot on her ‘cause she has a lot of sibilance and it sounds great. And it did smooth out a lot of those transients and stuff that the engineers scream at me about, so, worked out real good.

“I’ve always chosen a rounder fuller mic on her, preferably a tube 47 type mic”

“The WA-47 just worked perfectly.”
