Description

The TELEFUNKEN U47 is a meticulously crafted large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone, revered as one of the most iconic studio microphones in recording history. Faithfully recreated by TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik, this modern production maintains the sonic character and physical design of the original U47, incorporating key components such as the historically accurate BV8 output transformer and the M7 center-terminated capsule. These elements work together to deliver the U47’s legendary sound which is defined by a rich, punchy midrange, extended low-end response, and smooth top-end detail.

Ideal for vocals, electric guitar, orchestral ensembles, and chamber music, the TELEFUNKEN U47 brings a commanding presence to any source, making it a trusted choice in elite recording studios. It offers both cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns, powered by the included VF14k vacuum tube and external M 940H power supply. Each system is hand-assembled in the USA using point-to-point wiring, and comes complete with a premium tube mic cable, elastic shock mount, wooden mic box, and a rugged flight case. This microphone is a modern classic that stays true to its vintage legacy and is ready to capture timeless recordings with authority and nuance.
