Warm AudioWA-47jr SE Black - Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Black
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Warm Audio’s WA-47jr SE is a black large-diaphragm cardioid condenser with a gold-sputtered, single-backplate K47-style capsule and fully discrete signal path. Its fixed cardioid pattern focuses pickup on the sound in front of the mic while reducing side and rear noise, making it well suited to vocal, acoustic-guitar, and podcast recording in project spaces. The 147 dB maximum SPL supports loud sources, while the 9 dBA self-noise and 138 dBA dynamic range cover a broad recording range. A hard mount and leather storage pouch are included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals, acoustic guitar, or podcast audio with a focused cardioid pickup pattern.
- Working in smaller or untreated recording spaces where side and rear noise need reduction.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Recording situations that require a pickup pattern other than fixed cardioid.
- Users who need multi-pattern microphone controls.
