WA-47jr SE Black Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The 47 Series: Rich Analog Warmth with Timeless Studio Tone

Both the WA-47jr and the WA-47jr Studio Essential follow in the footsteps of the legendary ‘47-style tube microphone—revered for its smooth highs, rich midrange, and full low-end character. Modeled after the flagship WA-47 tube mic, these FET-based designs offer the same unmistakable sonic character in a modern, transformerless format. At the heart of each mic is Warm Audio’s vintage-accurate K47-style capsule, delivering the lush, analog warmth found on countless iconic recordings.

The currentWA-47jr features a dual-backplate K47-style capsule and offers modern flexibility with three selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omni, figure-8), a -10 dB pad for capturing loud sources, and a 70 Hz high-pass filter for reducing unwanted low-frequency noise. Combining one of the most sought-after, vintage condenser capsules of all time with carefully designed contemporary circuitry, the WA-47jr delivers rich analog warmth on sources such as vocals, acoustic guitar, drums, pianos, streaming, podcasts, and more. To fit the needs of all creatives, the WA-47jr is complete with a professional shockmount, hard mount, and leather storage pouch.

The newWA-47jr Studio Essential (SE) retains the same core tonal profile, using a single-backplate version of the K47-style capsule in a streamlined, fixed-cardioid design. With the same ultra-low self-noise,  wide dynamic range, and fully discrete signal path of the Jr, the WA-47jrStudio Essential delivers professional studio sound straight out of the box. Perfect for: musicians, streamers, podcasters, and voice artists who want legendary analog tone without the need for pattern switching or onboard controls.
