Warm Audio WA-47jr SE Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Nickel Finish

Warm Audio WA-47jr SE Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

The Warm Audio WA-47jr SE Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a fixed-cardioid, transformerless FET studio microphone available in Nickel or Black. Its gold-sputtered, single-backplate K47-style capsule and fully discrete signal path provide focused capture for vocals, instruments, podcasts, streaming, and other recording applications.

Designed as the streamlined member of the WA-47jr family, the WA-47jr SE removes the switchable polar patterns, pad, and high-pass filter found on the standard WA-47jr. The fixed cardioid pattern emphasizes sound arriving from the front while reducing pickup from the sides and rear, making this condenser microphone practical for lead vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, amplifiers, and spoken-word production.

Both color variants share the same acoustic and electronic specifications, including 9 dBA self-noise, 138 dBA dynamic range, and a maximum SPL of 147 dB. The transformerless balanced XLR output requires 48V phantom power, while the included hard mount and storage pouch support routine studio setup and transport.
