About this listing
A Secret Weapon of Pro Studios The
WA-47F is a faithful recreation of a high-SPL, low-noise classic
celebrated as a 'secret weapon' across world-class studios. The original
'47-style FET was released in 1969 and gained massive popularity inside
recording studios for its ability to handle fast transients with
exceptional detail. Compared to popular tube microphones, the WA-47F has
a more pristine top end and a tighter, more controllable bass response.
Famous artists such as Dave Grohl and Daft Punk used the original 47FET
on kick drums, inspiring generations of drummers and engineers. For
vocals, legends like David Lee Roth and Michael Stipe used the original
to create some of the most beloved music of all time. The WA-47F shares
the same sonic profile as that original microphone, making the WA-47F a
studio workhorse that will quickly become a go-to mic in your locker.
Full Volume. Powerful Detail. No Compromise Like
all Warm Audio microphones, the WA-47F is a no-nonsense studio tool
with premium components and elite build quality. Like the originals, the
WA-47F takes the sound of the WA-47 tube mic and swaps the valve for
solid-state FETs, meaning there’s no compromise between capturing rich
midrange, detailed bass, and handling very loud sources. At its core,
the WA-47F uses a premium reproduction of the vintage K47-style capsule
found in the original microphone for ultra-wide frequency response and
detail. The WA-47F uses a single backplate, cardioid-only version of the
same capsule used in our award-winning WA-47 tube microphone. The
capsule is joined by a custom TAB-Funkenwerk USA Output Transformer that
drives the punchy, powerful sound captured by this capsule. The WA-47F
pairs premium Fairchild FETs with polystyrene & Wima capacitors and
the AMI output transformer, giving the WA-47F the ideal frequency
response to capture extra detail and depth. The -10dB pad gives you
extra headroom for those loud sources that you need to keep loud. When
you need to eliminate unwanted bass frequencies on sources like lead
vocals or electric guitar cabs, engage the included 140 Hz low-cut
filter to save yourself from unnecessary post-EQ. Our meticulous R&D
process allowed us to dial in a true-to-original output level and
frequency response that matches the performance expectations of
world-class audio engineers and recording facilities.
Studio Workhorse Like
the original, the WA-47F’s custom-tuned frequency response captures
huge kick drum sounds, punchy guitar & bass cabs, and adds a
pristine edge to solo vocals that need to stand out.
