A Secret Weapon of Pro Studios
The WA-47F is a faithful recreation of a high-SPL, low-noise classic celebrated as a 'secret weapon' across world-class studios. The original '47-style FET gained massive popularity for its ability to handle fast transients with exceptional detail. Famous artists such as Dave Grohl, Elvis Costello, Daft Punk, REM and more used the original to create some of the most beloved music of all time.
Full Volume. Powerful Detail. No Compromise
Like the original 47 FET-style mics, the WA-47F takes the sound of the 47-style tube mic and swaps the valve for solid-state FETs, meaning there’s no compromise between capturing rich midrange, detailed bass, and handling very loud sources
