…doesn’t have to be unaffordable. But most vintage components are so rare that the cost of an original k47 is staggering. Thanks to Warm Audio, classic sound is now more attainable than ever. With the WA-47, you’ve got a historically accurate ’47 capsule without needing to break to bank. Built to sound indistinguishable from the 60s icon, there’s no longer any need to go hunting for old gear. In fact, the WA-47 sounds so similar to the original, it’s passed several comparison tests, sitting sonically alongside the '47s used to test it. That means gorgeous, warm character that’s every bit as unique as its predecessor.
So how does the WA-47 achieve such accurate results? Simple. By only using the best components available, assembled with meticulous attention to detail. Warm audio have faithfully recreated the k47 style large diaphragm condenser capsule using the same hole pattern and frequency response. A premium 5751 vacuum tube offers low noise and lower gain, adding to the tonally smooth, 60s sound that you know and love. The microphone gets its unique sonic character from an American made TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA transformer with large core imported German laminations, whilst its uncompressed top-end response comes from a bespoke configuration of polystyrene coupling, wima film, and Solen French capacitors. Add to that a 7-pin cable designed to increase the overall size of the recorded image in the stereo field, and you’ve got timeless sound for almost every studio application.
One word – iconic. There’s a reason the '47 style capsule has been used to record some of the biggest tracks in history. With the WA-47, you become a part of that legacy. Whether you want to capture the natural timbres of acoustic instruments, the delicate harmonies of vocals, or the fierce impact of percussion, this is the only microphone you’ll ever need. Nine polar patterns make it suited toward any type of situation, helping you record with warm, rounded character every time you press play. From professional to home studios, you’ll achieve pristine, natural compression with creamy top end and full-bodied lows – just like the original.
