Warm Audio WA-47 Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

Warm Audio is a professional audio equipment manufacturer founded in 2011 by Bryce Young in Texas, starting modestly in his garage with a mission to democratize access to high-quality, legendary studio sounds. The company specializes in creating faithful, affordable recreations of iconic vintage recording gear—such as microphones, preamps, compressors, and equalizers—that were once only available at premium prices, allowing home studios, aspiring engineers, and professional musicians to achieve the warm, classic tones heard on countless hit records. Popular products include the WA-87 (inspired by the Neumann U87 microphone), the WA-47 (modeled after the U47), various Neve-style preamps like the WA73 series, Pultec-style EQs, and Fairchild-inspired compressors, all built with high-grade components to deliver authentic character without the exorbitant cost. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Warm Audio has grown rapidly, earning recognition on the Inc. 5000 list for fastest-growing companies, and continues to expand its lineup while maintaining a focus on sonic excellence and accessibility for creators worldwide.
