1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The TELEFUNKEN U47 is a vacuum-tube condenser microphone centered on a large-diaphragm M7 capsule, VF14K tube, and BV8 transformer. Choose cardioid when you need a more focused pickup pattern, or omnidirectional when the recording calls for a more open capture. Its specified response is 20 Hz–20 kHz, with an external power supply. The package includes the tube microphone cable, power supply, shockmount, wooden box, and flight case, giving the mic and its supporting hardware a dedicated storage and transport solution.

Who this is for
