“We used the WA-47jr as an outside kick mic. Its providing the perfect fet style midrange kick frequencies that blend so well with the other kick mics. The kick has never sounded better.”Jimmy Eat World

Here’s what Warm Audio say about theWA-47JR Vintage FET Microphone:

Like Father. Like Son.

The WA-47jr is an FET transformerless version of the highly renowned classic 47 microphone that has been used on countless hit records for the last 50+ years. The WA-47jr utilizes the same “true ’47” k47 style capsule found in our flagship WA-47 tube condenser microphone. The WA-47jr is fully discrete, has 3 polar patterns and is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications. The WA-47jr sounds great on vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass/woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.

Quality components make a better mic.

The WA-47jr proudly utilizes a custom k47 style capsule reproduction, designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response as the vintage part. Our version of this capsule (model# WA-47-B-80v) is carefully manufactured by an Australian capsule manufacturer with careful precision and repeat-ability. The WA47jr’s low-noise and discrete signal path then paired with an excellent true ’47 style capsule allows this mic to obtain a very similar tone to the classic 47 microphone at a much lower price tag.
