The Warm Audio WA-47jr SE is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone crafted to replicate the classic tone of ‘47-style studio mics in a simplified, cardioid-only design. Ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, drum overheads, streaming, or podcasting, the WA-47jr SE delivers analog warmth, clear detail, and professional-quality sound in a compact package. Its fixed cardioid pattern ensures precise directional pickup and minimal room noise, perfect for project studios or untreated spaces.
Custom Capsule
The WA-47jr SE boasts a single-backplate version of the highly-praised WA-47 K47-style capsule, carefully crafted to emulate the vintage original’s pattern and frequency response. This results in an authentic sound that offers warmth and presence without any added coloration.
Streamlined Performance
Featuring a fixed cardioid polar pattern and modern circuit design, the WA-47jr SE is a streamlined yet powerful solution for achieving exceptional studio-quality audio. It excels in rejecting unwanted ambient noise while focusing sharply on capturing sound from the front of the microphone.
Low Noise, Big Tone
Equipped with a remarkable dynamic range and ultra-low self-noise of only 9 dBA, the WA-47jr SE can accurately capture everything from delicate acoustic nuances to powerful vocal performances with clarity.
Essential Accessories
Included with the microphone are a custom hard mount and a leather storage pouch, ensuring convenient setup and safe transport for both professional studio work and on-the-go recording sessions.
