U47
Tube Microphone
From Telefunken Elektroakustik:
In production for over 23 years, the recreation of the iconic TELEFUNKEN U47 is faithful in every detail, down to the historically accurate BV8 transformer and M7-style capsule.
A true staple of professional, top-tier recording studios, the TELEFUNKEN U47 is known for its authoritative mid-range and extended low-end response, exceling at everything from vocals and electric guitar to orchestral and chamber recordings. The TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik recreation of this large diaphragm tube microphone remains faithful to the original design, retaining the historically accurate BV8 output transformer and M7-style capsule, which produce the same rich and vibrant tone that helped establish the TELEFUNKEN U47 as a studio legend.
