The WA-47 is designed for pro studio, home studio, live, and broadcast applications and sounds great on vocals, acoustic\/electric guitars, acoustic\/electric bass, drums, piano, strings, brass\/woodwind instruments, and an array of other sources. The classic ‘47 became extremely popular in the 1960’s and is now considered one of the greatest microphones ever made. The classic ‘47 is still widely used today in professional recording studios but have become extremely rare and expensive to acquire.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-14 x-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-14 x-text\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/47-accessories-rev-2-min.png\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"520\" height=\"228\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-14 x-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-14 x-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-20 x-text x-text-headline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eDesigning For A Classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-21 x-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigning the WA-47 to sound like the classic ‘47 was no easy task, especially considering that some of the vintage components are no longer available. We compared and listened to 2 different vintage ‘47 mics and found that they both sounded amazing but also sounded a little different from each other. These comparison tests became the benchmark for tailoring our WA-47 sonics to sit right in with these 2 vintage ‘47 mics. We are pleased to release such a gorgeous sounding classic to the market at a price that’s reachable to more people than ever before. We are also proud to mention that the WA-47 sounds legitimately indistinguishable to the vintage ‘47’s we auditioned on several sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with all Warm Audio products, we focus heavily on quality components to ensure we release the best sounding product possible.  The WA-47 is packed with top end components that are carefully sourced from many of the top pro audio component suppliers in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-29 x-text x-text-headline\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x-text-content-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eTrue '47 Style Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"e41-30 x-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WA-47 utilizes a custom reproduction of the vintage k47 style capsule that was used in the classic ‘47 microphone - designed with the same hole pattern and frequency response.

Using this cable increases top end presence and the overall size of the recorded image in the stereo field, by reducing phase shift and the parasitic effect often found in poorly built cables. Gotham Audio is very expensive and boutique in nature and should not be considered a small addition to the WA-47 package.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/download\/5941\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Manual\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom True '47 Capsule Reproduction (K47 Style) - Model# WA-47-B-80v\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule Makeup: Gold Sputtered, Dual Large Diaphragm, Single Backplate, 6 Microns NOS Mylar (PET Film)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTAB-Funkenwerk (AMI) USA Output Transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSovtek 5751 Vacuum Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGotham 3 meter GAC-7, 7-pin tube microphone cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWima, Solen French, And Polystyrene Capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Noise: 11dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Patterns: 9 Patterns - Cardioid, Omni, Figure-Of-Eight + 6 Mixed Patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 130dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 140dB (\u0026lt;0.5% THD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz~20 KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 200 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated Load Impedance: ≥2kOhms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N Ratio: 82dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise: 10dBA (IEC651)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal IEC Grounded PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Weight - 9 Lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic Diameter: 60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic Length: 254mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Microphone, Wood Box, Power Supply Unit, Shockmount, Gotham 7 Pin GAC-7 Cable, IEC Power Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eCardioid Frequency Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WA-47-Cardioid-Microphone-Frequecy-Chart.png\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"534\" height=\"161\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eFigure 8 Frequency Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WA-47-Figure-8-Microphone-Frequecy-Chart.png\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"531\" height=\"160\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"\u003eOmni-Directional Frequency Chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/warmaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/WA-47-Omni-Microphone-Frequecy-Chart-1-1.png\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"527\" height=\"159\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51518497620277,"sku":"WA47T","price":63490.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/2417\/4004\/files\/47_Front.jpg?v=1763356465","url":"https:\/\/gpgallerymakati.myshopify.com\/products\/warm-audio-wa-47t-limited-edition-tube-condenser-microphone-titanium","provider":"GP Gallery Makati","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
