WA-47 — Tube Condenser Microphone
Legendary Studio Sound Reimagined
The WA-47 is a premium large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed as a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic microphones in recording history. It delivers classic vintage tone with rich lows, forward midrange, and smooth, musical highs — making it an essential tool for professional studios.
What You Need To Know
Like the original 47-style microphones, the WA-47 includes all the features required for a complete professional recording experience.
At its core is a true reproduction of the K47-style dual-diaphragm capsule, delivering authentic vintage tone with excellent detail across the full 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. Its natural presence boost makes it especially ideal for vocals and sources requiring classic analog character.
The custom TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA-made output transformer is a critical component that shapes the WA-47’s bold and full-bodied sound, delivering warmth, depth, and harmonic richness true to the original design.
The premium 5751 vacuum tube provides smooth analog tone with lower gain and low noise performance, making it perfect for intimate recordings such as vocals and acoustic instruments.
Flexibility & Control
The WA-47 offers extensive polar pattern options:
- 3 main patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8
- 6 intermediate patterns
This allows precise control over microphone response and makes it adaptable to virtually any recording scenario.
