The meticulously reverse-engineered FET design has resulted in the faithful recreation of a condenser microphone whose high-SPL allows for a wide range of response without risk of overloading. For voice, a light scooping and not-overly-bright sound lets vocals sit smoothly in a mix of live instruments without losing nuance. The max SPL of 137dB can be upped to 147dB, thanks to the 10dB pad, making this a phenomenal option for miking drums, and amplified instruments. Plus, with the addition of a 140 Hz low-cut filter, low-end muddiness is eliminated without compromising on substance.Electric feel This workhorse mic may look great, but its inner electronics demonstrate that it’s got bark and bite. A gold-sputtered condenser creates exceptional conductivity for the large-diaphragm, single-backplate design. The custom TAB-Funkenwerk output transformer, premium Fairchild transistors, and wima polystyrene capacitors give this mic an output impedance of 150 ohms, making it ideal for a multitude of professional-quality uses, keeping noise low and power high. The cardioid polar pattern is pure, tight, and perfect for capturing the natural punch of louder sounds without flattening their more-nuanced faculties.Warm Audio WA47-F FET Condenser Microphone Features: Gold-sputtered, large diaphragm, single-backplate, K47-style capsule for era accurate design High-SPL handling (Max 137dB, or 147dB with 10dB engaged) reliably captures kick drum and high-volume sounds without losing fidelity Frequency response of 40Hz–16kHz means wide application with precise pickup capacity Custom TAB-Funkenwerk USA output transformer, premium Fairchild transistors, and wima and polystyrene capacitors Cardioid polar pattern is precise, and pure, ideal for nuanced details Output impedance of 150 ohms, making this microphone low-noise and extremely versatile 140Hz low-cut filter reduces muddiness while keeping low-end tight, retaining substance Rated load impedance of >1k ohms Lightweight, robust design (3.5lbs/1.6kg, mic only: 2lbs/0.91kg) SpecificationDetail Microphone Type FET Condenser Polar Pattern Cardioid Diaphragm Size Large Frequency Response 20Hz-19kHz Max SPL 137 dB SPL Output Impedance 150 ohms Signal to Noise Ratio 76dB A weighted Self Noise 18dB A weighted Low Cut Filter 140Hz Pads -10dB Connector XLR Dimensions 8" x 2.75" Weight 2 lbs.
