Description
Recreation of a classic design.
The WA-47jr is a modernized version of the legendary classic 47 microphone, cherished for its timeless sound on numerous hit records over the past half-century. With its fully discrete design, three selectable polar patterns, and versatility across various applications including professional studios, home studios, live performances, and broadcasting, the WA-47jr delivers exceptional performance. Its remarkable sound quality shines on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, piano, strings, brass, woodwind instruments, and more.
Featuring a meticulously crafted custom k47-style capsule, the WA-47jr faithfully reproduces the hole pattern and frequency response of the vintage design. Manufactured with precision and consistency by an esteemed Australian capsule manufacturer, this capsule plays a vital role in capturing the distinctive tone and signature of the WA-47jr. By combining this true 47-style capsule with a low-noise and discrete signal path, the WA-47jr achieves a remarkably similar sonic character to the classic 47 microphone, all at a more accessible price point.
The WA-47jr circuit incorporates high-quality Toshiba FETs, Wima film capacitors, and Panasonic electrolytic capacitors, ensuring exceptional performance. While the circuit is simplified compared to the original 47 tube microphone, the choice of premium components and meticulous craftsmanship results in a memorable sound quality that lives up to the reputation of its iconic predecessor.
