IS that who makes Warm Audios' 47?
IS this a similar scenario to the UA infinity 710 preamp VS Alctron MP100?

Pretty humble savings for giving up Warm’s warranty service and QA, the AMI transformer, and likely the WA47 capsule.

I see a good strategy for studio owners out there everywhere! This is for that project that gives you so much grief that even though they are paying you, you want them to leave!

No, that is not who makes the Warm WA47. They source their capsule from a boutique Australian company, and I think their headbaslet is Beezneez, but don't quote me. There may be a part or two in common, but that's true of a dozen mics, including some costing 2-3X as much. The WA47 sounds very good, I have one here on loan, no weird Chinese capsule pinch.

I’m almost certain the WA47 capsule is made in China. Note carefully they say it’s designed in Australia, not made. I’m fairly sure it’s a custom one by 3U.
I’m also pretty sure 3U makes capsules for several other companies too.

Hilarious they cloned the connector screw threads....which are still visible with an XLR plugged in.

You’re probably right dogears , I knew 3U was involved, but I think that’s a good thing.

My buddy did a good track, I'll see if I can get a rough to post.. I need a little time though, I have 3 days to complete my album, including mixing and mastering the last song.

The warm body and head basket are both out of china. Probably the Alctron factory, but who knows how many factories are making this body now. There is nothing wrong with that body. It was designed out of the GDIY forum. I wouldn't doubt that the WA47 sounds great. They are using better components that many manufactures. The Alctron MK47 came out shortly after the IOaudio MK47 (they copied the name for some reason). I doubt they sold many as they were always overpriced. |

I think where Warm is different is in reliability and customer service. They're available everywhere most gear heads shop, they'll fix any issue promptly, and they take great care that everything remains as good as the first run. Many manufacturers sneak in changes to lower cost or because a part is no longer available.
