WORLD-CLASS RESULTS WITH IMPRESSIVE VERSATILITY
Compared to tube mics, solid‑state options like the Warm Audio WA‑47jr FET are valued for their detailed clarity and low distortion—which is exactly why transformerless FET mics with a U47‑style capsule are so popular on kick drums and other percussion, capturing their punch and intensity with remarkable accuracy.
Naturally, the WA‑47jr FET excels on percussion, but it’s also a top contender for acoustic instruments where fast transient response is key, and it deserves a spot on your shortlist for vocals, electric guitar cabs, and much more. The real question might be: what doesn’t it sound great on?
THREE POLAR PATTERNS FOR IMPRESSIVE FLEXIBILITY
The WA-47jr’s three polar patterns — cardioid, omni, and figure-8 — give you impressive flexibility when it comes to exploring different recording techniques. Cardioid, with its moderate side and near-total rear rejection, is useful for just about any studio task. Omni is great for capturing room ambience along with your source.
Use a figure-8 technique to overdub a sax with natural slap or to record two singers on one mic (just be sure of the balance). And with two of these mics, you can implement stereo techniques such as spaced pair (A/B), XY (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and mid-side (M-S).
