The Warm Audio WA-47 is a tube condenser microphone designed to capture the depth, detail, and harmonic richness associated with classic large-diaphragm tube mics. The WA-47 is well suited for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, strings, and room mic-ing duties where high-fidelity sound and dimension matter. Its character leans full and authoritative without sacrificing clarity, making it a versatile choice for both modern and traditional recording environments.
At the heart of the WA-47 is a custom-wound TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA transformer, paired with a JJ Slovak 5751 tube and a carefully voiced K47-style capsule. This combination delivers a balanced frequency response with a smooth top end, present midrange, and a solid, controlled low end. The microphone preamp features nine selectable polar patterns, allowing it to adapt easily to a wide range of recording techniques and studio needs.
This example is in mint, like-new condition and has never been used. It comes in the original box and includes all factory accessories, exactly as it would be received new. Everything is clean, complete, and ready to put straight to work in a studio setting. Just a great deal on a good mic!
For anyone looking to add a classic-inspired tube condenser to their studio, this WA-47 is a great choice. It offers vintage-style tone, modern reliability, and thoughtful build quality in a package that remains one of Warm Audio’s most respected designs.
