Offered in a black finish, the Warm Audio WA-47jr SE is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to deliver the tone and presence of iconic ‘47-style studio mics in a streamlined, cardioid-only format. Ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, drum overheads, and content creation such as streaming or podcasting, it provides rich analog warmth, clear detail, and professional-grade sound. Its fixed cardioid pattern ensures precise directional pickup while minimizing room noise—perfect for untreated spaces or project studios.
At its core is a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K47-style capsule that reproduces the sound profile of vintage microphones with lush lows, smooth mids, and a pleasing top end. The discrete signal path uses carefully selected components for clean, low-noise performance and wide dynamic range. With a transformerless balanced XLR output and 48V phantom power, the WA-47jr SE integrates easily into any studio setup. Each unit is hand-tested in Austin, Texas, and includes a custom hard mount and premium leather pouch.
