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.
