The WA-47T is an authentic reproduction of the most coveted tube condenser mic for timeless studio sound in limited titanium-style finish. The WA-47 accurately matches the sonic profile of the prized vintage originals delivering the deep bass, rich midrange, and smooth highs that made it a favorite of legendary recording artists. The WA-47 uses superior components, starting with a custom K47-style capsule meticulously recreated to match early vintage originals. A premium 5751 vacuum tube sits in between the capsule and a custom TAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA output transformer. These elements come together to bring the legendary sounds of timeless icons to today's music makers.
Deep Lows, Rich Mids, Smooth Highs: The WA-47 tube condenser microphone captures deep bass without coloration in the low end. The midrange on the WA-47 is rich and detailed with a wide sonic signature. The highs are present but smooth, rounding out a mic that captures many sources with authority like drums, vocals, pianos, upright bass, acoustic guitar, piano and much more.
K47-Style Capsule Recreation: The custom K47-style capsule in the WA-47 is a true reproduction of the large, dual-diaphragm K47-style capsule found in the original U47 mic. This capsule captures authentic analog detail across the 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. With just the right peaks where most vocals sit, the capsule inside the WA-47 will quickly make this a favorite mic for vocals and any source where vintage vibe is a must.
True-To-Original Spec Transformer: The WA-47 is built with a custom, true-to-original spec TAB (AMI) transformer that delivers the same performance of transformers found in vintage original 47 tube mics. The sweet sonic character of the WA-47 would not be possible without the amazing, historically-correct transformer supplied by TAB-Funkenwerk.
