Warm Audio WA-47JR Microphone - Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Mic

Warm Audio WA-47JR Microphone - Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Mic brings classic large-diaphragm condenser tone to modern studios with rugged build quality and studio-ready specs.

The WA-47JR is a studio microphone designed for recording vocals and instruments with a warm, detailed character. With a diaphragm diameter of 3.4 cm made from Gold/Mylar, it captures nuance and presence across a wide microphone frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz.

Performance highlights include a sensitivity of -40 dB (10 mV/Pa at 1 kHz), a low equivalent noise level of 19.3 dB and self noise of 18.3 dB, and an impressive maximum sound pressure level of 157 dB at 1 kHz, making it suitable for both delicate vocal takes and loud sources.

The WA-47JR offers a selectable directional response with cardioid and omnidirectional options and a total harmonic distortion (THD) of just 0.5%, preserving musicality while keeping distortion minimal. Its output impedance is 100 Ω and the recommended load impedance is 1000 Ω, while the mic connects via a standard XLR-3 wired interface.

Built for practical studio use, the microphone ships with a shock mount and a carrying case and comes in a 3-piece set that weighs 499 g per mic. The black finish and clip-style mounting make integration into existing rigs quick and visually discreet.

This condenser mic’s dynamic range of 147.3 dB and robust maximum SPL give engineers flexibility for recording singers, guitar amps, overheads, and drum room ambience. Its low noise and high sensitivity support close, intimate vocal recordings as well as detailed acoustic instrument capture.

Suggested use cases include professional vocal tracking, studio overdubs, mic’ing guitar cabinets and acoustic guitars, and room ambience capture for film or broadcast. Its wired XLR connectivity fits seamlessly into standard console, preamp, and interface workflows.
