![]() The best way I can describe the sound of the WA-47 is colorful and thick, almost syrup-like. Moving on to the real important business in the WA-47 - the sound. So, you just have to sort of make sure nothing happens to the PSU. ![]() It is an IEC grounded PSU, but I still find it to be a bit inconvenient to tie the pattern switch to the PSU. The only thing that annoys me about the WA-47’s construction is the fact that the mic’s polar patterns are switched through an external power supply. I always appreciate it when a mic comes with a nice, sturdy box for storage instead of a flimsy cardboard packaging. I guess it is just a testament to the dedication and skill of the Warm Audio engineers.Īll of this excellent craftsmanship is kept in a nice wooden box. I am actually quite surprised at how Warm Audio was able to keep up such a high build quality while keeping the mic’s cost so low. This is the heart of the mic and what really gives it the U47 sound that makes it so appealing. ![]() On the inside is a custom-made capsule that is tuned using two vintage U47’s. While it has some weight to it, I didn’t find the mic to be heavy. The shell is made from brass and plated with nickel. The first thing I noticed about the WA-47 after taking it out of the box was just how sturdy it felt. This means that I expected the WA-47 to live up to that standard and be a standout U47 clone before I even started testing it, and I think I can confidently say that it does. Warm Audio is known for recreating vintage gears like compressors, EQs, and preamps to a nearly identical degree, and their mics are no exception.
