Introducing the Warm Audio WA-47jr, a multi-pattern FET condenser microphone that seamlessly blends vintage tone and modern technology to provide a premium recording experience at an affordable price. Designed as a tribute to the renowned '47-style tube mic, this microphone recreates its revered sound, delivering warmth, depth, and character to your recordings.

At the heart of the WA-47jr is its k47 capsule, a custom-made replica of the original capsule found in the vintage '47 mics. This meticulous reproduction captures instruments and vocals with an analog smoothness and depth that is reminiscent of higher-priced vintage tube mics. From lead vocals and acoustic guitars to drum overheads, the k47 helps the WA-47jr achieve a rich, full tone with inviting warmth and character.

Complementing the vintage tone of the k47 capsule is the WA-47jr's modern, solid-state FET circuitry. Built with high-quality Toshiba transistors and WIMA film capacitors, this FET design is optimized for low noise and high detail. It brings an open, airy top end that adds clarity and definition, combining the depth and body of a classic mic with the crisp detail of a contemporary condenser.

For maximum flexibility in your studio applications, the WA-47jr offers three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. This solid-state microphone is set within a durable nickel-plated brass body and mesh grille, promising years of reliable use.
