Bought it in my country, for like, 260$ And i can't be happier, it's an amazing deal. What i really like about this mic is that, I think, it's the only mic in 250-500$ price range, that has this smooth sound on high frequences. And for my little bit harshy and sibilant voice, this is a perfect match. I was using SE 2200T and RODE K2 on my vocals before, but TBH, I much prefer WA 47jr over this mics. Thank you for review, you've done amazing work and your son is an amazing artist too.
Thanks for the review. I bought one and couldn't be happier. (Got a great sale deal on it too). I love how smooth the top end is on my voice. Sibilance is tamed quite well yet there's still enough clarity and dynamic range.
This is the first review of this mic that actually made me want it. I've been thinking about an upgrade to my AT-4040 and the other videos I watched made me thing "Meh, my mic is nicer" but this video made the WA47jr seem pretty nice.
Michael Jensen thanks 🙏.. it’s a great mic and Is certainly getting a lot of use here in the studio.. we also have a pair of the AT 4040’s and they are a great flavour of mic too ✌️
Michael Jensen I like both mics for vocals, I think I prefer the warm audio for male vocals and the 4040 for female vocals they both seem to compliment those frequency ranges ✌️
Cheers .. I think this mic has a very honest representation in the low end.. the singer doesn’t have a big low range .. however I think the bottom of the kick drum sample brings across a nice tight definition in the lower end 😁✌️
i currently have the rode nt1, and am thinking about eventually getting this mic, but i want to know if you think this mic would be good for someone with a bit of sibilance.
@@fangsoffuego the top end in these mics is actually very nice and useable.. for a sibilant vocalist maybe try a little different mic positioning and some post recording processing ✌️
Satyajit Dasgupta the reviewing of gear is a very new project for us so as new gear comes in we will endeavour to do some comparisons and try out different stuff 👍
Hi, very nice video but now I'm torn between an AKG C214 and the WA-47jr. Would you have any thoughts between these two? I'm currently using AKG D5 and Shure SM58 and just recently got a Rode NT1. Thanks.
Cheers .. was that with the crappy camera mic or the Jnr?? Could just be my Aussie Accent.. Ive recorded vocals a lot in that room with various mics and it’s doesn’t sound too bad 😁😂
@@ValleysoundsRecordingStudios Well it could have just been off-axix reflection or something. I know that the direction you and the mic are facing sometimes really makes on difference on the way a room sounds. I'm not trying to be too critical. If I wanted to dampen it a bit I might hang some rubber sheets on the walls, as limp mass diffusers. About a 1/2" off the wall (12.5mm) would let them do their job right, then need to be limp. Even treating two adjacent walls would kill it.
Are you showing the mic with no compression? Cuz I've recorded and never got that even of louds to softs sounds from a voice until it's been compressed. It seems that every condenser mic video review online sounds like it's been compressed or am I crazy?
I’m definitely not using any compression.. the mic is going straight thru the console strip and into pro tools..that audio has not been processed in any way... UA-cam maybe be adding some form of compression to the video and other videos you’re watching more than likely ✌️
I’ve done quite a bit of dry voice over recording with this mic since Filipino this video and I’ve had the artist speak directly into the front of the mic.. I’ve been using the Cardioid pattern with fantastic results ✌️
I think the signal in the video is equalized... I have the same mic... The bass is very heavy.. Maybe to heavy... But high frequency is soft an gives air to the vocal. Would buy it again :)
Regenmacher ShelterVibes no eq or post processing was done in this video.. I was very conscious and focused on giving an honest and true review .. the channel eq on the console was not engaged and the protools session contained no plug ins.. no eq or compression added ✌️
Like Valleysounds is saying proximity might be a factor, also room and instrument/vocalist is a big difference. Also mic position, you can see the guitar is mic'd at the 12th fret which gets rid of that boomy guitar sound (depends on if you want it or not). I guess the beautiful thing about this mic is that you can get wild different effects every time. You just have to tweak the positioning and other conditions. I don't own one, but I worked with the U47 FET in the studio.
Hi! Thank you for this comparative. I was wondering about how this mic has maintain its tone over time. I mean, some of this low cost mics get damaged over 1 or 2 years. Just wondering if this is the case and also... wondering where is made, because I can’t find it anywhere! Thank you!!
Juan Pablo it’s not an overly sibilant mic.. I think that really depends on the singer.. I was doing some male vocals with it today and I find it very smooth in the top end on vocals.. I don’t use any eq when tracking .. on mix down today I used just my standard hi pass filter at 80hz ✌️
Hello Sir, Really liked the Video. I am thinking of getting this mic. I have a tenor kind of voice. Comfortable singing high notes and Not that strong or have power on lower notes,like Bruno Mars. Do you think this microphone will be good for me ?? If no,which mic do you suggest? My budget is $300 Thank you in advance🙏🏻
I use this mic a lot for vocals .. I have used it on a wide variety of singers and I’m impressed with it more and more.. it’s very diverse and would be a very good choice if you’re on a budget ✌️
Hi, i want a mic that sounds warm, thick and silky on highs. I’ll be using it to record male vocals. I have rode nt2a but it sounds very dull to me. So which one should i get, Rode K2, Neumann TLM 102, Warm Audio WA-47jr or suggest any other best vocal mic under $800. Multiple Polar patterns are not mandatory as i only use cardioid polar pattern. Thank you in advance.
TLM 102 is great vocal mic … it has a low end cut so maybe not as dull sounding as your rode.. the WA 47jnr has a nice round low end and a sweet top end that is smooth and versatile.. I’d say the WA.. a lot of podcasters use the TLM 102… TLM 103 is better and more suited to vocal singing but more expensive ✌️
The Nikko G this would work perfectly well with a basic interface.. this mic doesn’t need a lot of gain to have a great sound in this demo I was only using a channel in our console and going into an Apollo interface to computer for recording
I've been thinking about an AKG 214 and I saw this one. It sounds great! I've been using an MXL V67 mic very similar to this, but my engineer says he has to eq it alot to get to sound good. I want something out of the box that will sound good on my voice without lots of EQ for home recording when my sound engineer isn't around. What do you think?
If You want instant good vocal sound, deapite good mic I recommend plugin Sheps Omni Channel its like every vocal must have plugin in one. Even if You dont understand how to use it just find the preset You like! Its a game changer for begginers!!!
To be fair, I don't have an MXL 770X to do a full complete comparison however from sound samples I've heard i think the advantages of the Warm Audio 47fet Jr would be its versatility of use with many different micing situations and not just vocals.. I've only really heard the 770x on vocals and its sounds great however i think it might struggle in other scenarios like kick drums,bass guitar or strings.. The Warm certainly captures a nice Detail in the recordings I've used it on
There are a lot of advantages over the Mxl, first is that this is a large diaphragm condenser mic, it has the signature warm 47 styled microphone sound to it which the mxl doesn’t offer, its offering a more vintage sound for a reasonable price, overall sound quality, sound signature is better
Matthew H I’ve only used it a few times on a guitar cab and it was really nice , it was a 2nd mic and blended with a 57, 65 deluxe reverb screaming on about 8 and the warm handled it nicely Anita time on a badcat 50 on hi gain settings, sorry no example however I may have to put one up in the future 👍
Geosonica the WA47jr has variable polar patterns and the Rode nt 1 doesn’t.. these patterns make the WA47jr more versatile in our opinion .. WA sounds great ✌️
Inoshan Balasubramaniam yes indeed.. you may have to adjust your mic positioning or if your room is very bad you could use something like the Kaotica Eyeball..
Thanks! Yes the mic is great for Rap vocals.. here is a track that we used this mic for and it’s all rap vocals .. cheers ✌️ ua-cam.com/video/w_6_7FveE_g/v-deo.html
Rode NT2A vs. Warm Audio WA 47 JR? Going to buy my first main microphone for the studio I'm about to open. If someone have tested those two please let me know

No output transformer in the circuit. That saves a bt of cost. As Caleb says also, high volume production does save a lot of overhead. Just my two cents.

There's a tad bit more smoothening to do in the top end with the 47jr, but on my baritone voice in particular that is far easier to deal with than digging around for the elusive and intermittent low mid boom and proximity exaggeration in the SM7B. I think most female voices sit right above SM7B-proximity-hell range on the spectrum so I imagine that's why it is quite popular for female vocals. For my voice though, I generally find the balance and slight presence lift of the WA47jr is far easier for me to work with. Both very clean mics by the way.
matthew diaz of the 2 mics I have one was quieter that the other .. I sent the noisiest one back and the replacement was very quite like the other .. then at very high gain levels they were both very quiet 👍

No output transformer in the circuit. That saves a bt of cost. As Caleb says also, high volume production does save a lot of overhead.

There's a tad bit more smoothening to do in the top end with the 47jr, but on my baritone voice in particular that is far easier to deal with than digging around for the elusive and intermittent low mid boom and proximity exaggeration in the SM7B. I think most female voices sit right above SM7B-proximity-hell range on the spectrum so I imagine that's why it is quite popular for female vocals. For my voice though, I generally find the balance and slight presence lift of the WA47jr is far easier for me to work with. Both very clean mics by the way.
