The WA-47jr is a FET, transformerless version of the highly renowned classic '47 microphone used on countless hit records over the last 50+ years. The WA-47jr is fully discrete, has 3 polar patterns and is designed for pro & home studio, live, and broadcast applications. It sounds great on vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, acoustic/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass/woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources.
True '47 Style Capsule
The WA-47jr utilizes a custom K47-style capsule reproduction designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response as the original. A low-noise, discrete signal path paired with this true '47-style capsule brings a tone reminiscent of the classic '47 microphone within reach of everyday musicians and engineers.
Born Out Of Need
We knew the single greatest challenge would be offering a capsule built to a high standard but affordable for everyone. Every capsule is made with all brass parts and is carefully skinned from the same supply of high-purity NOS Mylar (PET film).
Quality Components Make A Better Mic
The WA-47jr circuit uses high-quality Toshiba FETs, Wima film capacitors, and Panasonic electrolytic capacitors—top-notch components and circuitry with sound quality and tone that punches far above its weight.
