[Omnidirectional] I've been lusting after a physical LA2A for years. I actually first used one in the early 1970's in a radio station, their original market. I've tried a number of plugins, some of which aren't bad. But the weird mixture of tubes, transformers and a light bulb (panel in this case) is just hard to beat. Like all great audio gear, you may cease to notice it when it's there, but you'll truly miss it when it's not there. I have a number of wildly dynamic singers in the studio, and this just works the magic to make their vocals sit in the mix. And it makes those same vocals bigger sounding at the same time. Is it the best LA2A clone out there? I don't know since I can't test it against all the rest. But it's darn good. BTW, let me put to rest any fears about build quality, etc. This is my second (and won't be my last) piece of Warm Audio kit. Absolutely no issues with the way these beasts arrive and work. Possibly, outside of acoustic treatment, the best investment I've ever made in my studio.

[Condenser] Needed the right Microphone to record my Acoustics guitars
This is it makes all the difference in the recording crisp accurate recording for a balanced sound. Thank you B&H again for an easy buy

[Omnidirectional] I did a good bit of research and am glad I decided on the Warm Audio WA-47 tube microphone. Great addition for my home studio. I'm using it for both music production and voice over. Interfacing with ART Voice Channel. Love the rich smooth sound. No limitations, complaints or areas for improvement.

[0.165 lb] I have been very happy with this purchase. As with all mics, the best results will come from working with them to make sure they're right for the task. I use this primarily as a vo mic and it works very well with my voice.

[Omnidirectional] Excellent and easy to use. Great sound

[Omnidirectional] very very present. What I would expect from a Nueman U87

[0.165 lb] If you're looking for a true professional 44BX sound, look no further! I was amazed at the sound and quality. Insides with the exception of transformer, look identical to the legendary 44BX. Why spend $3000 to $5000 for a similar looking replica when you can buy this for under $1000? I've already bought 2 and love them! I'm a professional broadcaster and voice-over announcer with 50+ years of broadcast experience.

[Condenser] Sound I was expecting

[0.165 lb] I already have two mics: AKG C 214 and C 2000. This new one gives me a new color to my small collection, transparent sound, almost no noise, great natural sounding timbre... for sure, the right choice avoiding similar sound among my mics.

[0.165 lb] I love the microphone. It has the heavy feel of quality, it comes with a beautiful black velvet lined wooden box, and the sound is great. It has a warm sound quality with a well controlled high end response - not at all harsh or overly sibilant - very silky smooth on the high end and a warm low end response, even from a couple of feet away in cardioid pattern. However, there were a couple of minor quality control issues with the microphone. When I got it, the pattern select switch would not go into the Omni pattern, because the mic electronics cover was rotated, and tightened down, so that the switch would bump into the pattern switch cutout before it would go all the way into the omni - directional pattern. This was an easy and obvious fix, however, it should not have come from the factory like this. Also, the screw that locks the shock mount from rotating up and down, would not lock it. The reason was that there was some plastic flashing from the screw knob, molded into some of the threads of the locking screw, preventing it from tightening all the way. The fix required carefully removing the plastic from the threads. This, again, should not have come from the factory like this. But, when you consider the general quality and price of the microphone, these are. really, minor issues.
