• Product Review by Ryoji Saito: “WARM AUDIO / WA-47jr SE by Ryoji Saito” Now Available!

  

  2026/02/06

  We have released a product review by Ryoji Saito, an active composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter working across a wide range of musical fields.
  In this review, he takes a close look at the WARM AUDIO condenser microphone “WA-47jr SE.”
  Based on the highly regarded WA-47jr, the SE (Studio Essential) model is specifically designed with studio recording in mind. It delivers a low-centered sound with a strong, focused core, making it well suited for a wide variety of recording applications, including vocals and acoustic guitar.
  In the review, along with real audio samples, Ryoji Saito shares impressions such as:
  “A sound with a low center of gravity that firmly captures the core and essence of the source.”
  “A microphone with punch, density, and a vintage-like character that adds a sense of allure.”
  “It’s surprising to achieve this level of texture and quality at this price point.”
  Described as a microphone with a distinct sense of “character and allure,” the WA-47jr SE comes highly recommended for those looking for a character-driven microphone.
  Be sure to check out the full review.
