{"product_id":"telefunken-elektroakustik-u47-microphone-437-used","title":"Telefunken Elektroakustik U47 Microphone #437 (Used)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpon first glance of the new TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik U47, it's easy to see the \"family resemblance.\" The large, chrome head grille houses a newly manufactured M7 capsule. Its matte nickel finished body houses a new BV8 output transformer and a newly developed VF14k vacuum tube; a \"plug and play\" replacement for the rare VF14M tubes found in the original. The classic \"TELEFUNKEN\" diamond logo proudly adorns the front of the body tube. All of these accoutrements show that this microphone means business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince its original development in 1946, the TELEFUNKEN U47 has been the microphone of choice for generations of recording professionals. The first condenser microphone to offer selectable polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional), the original U47 also featured the famous M7 capsule which had been developed in 1928 by Georg Neumann. To this capsule was added an amplifier built from military surplus VF14 tubes (they had been used in field and aircraft radios), and BV8 output transformers. The combination of these components created a sonic quality that was absolutely unheard of in the English speaking world of the mid-1940s when darker sounding, less detailed ribbon microphones were the standard. The introduction of the U47 brought a new level of fidelity to the audio world, and is still considered to be one of the finest microphones ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're recording a symphony, a \"crooner,\" or any facet of modern music, you'll find a great tool in the U47. Its authoritative mid-range and extended low-end response dance from your ears - much as a vintage wine dances from the palate. Everything, from vocals to the loudest of guitar sounds, full on orchestral recording, beautiful backing vocal arrangements, or a chamber ensemble will benefit wildly from the rich and vibrant tone of this stunning microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eType: condenser pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eCapsule: M7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eFrequency Range: 20Hz \/ 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid and Omni\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eSensitivity: 24.5 mV\/pa +\/- 1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eTHD at 1kHz at 1Pa: \u0026lt;0.3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eOutput Impedance: \u0026lt;400 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eMaximum SPL: 127 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eNon Linear Distortion: less than or equal to 0.5% at 100 dyne \/ cm sq\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eSelf Noise: 9dBA +\/- 1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eTube Type: VF-14K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003ePower Type: Dedicated American-made power supply with slow-ramping filament voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eDimensions: 9 3\/4\" (248mm) length x 2 1\/4\" (57mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eWeight: 22oz (624g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eSupply Current: \u0026lt;45mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eConnected Via: Large Tuchel\/Historic stand mount swivel, XLR-3 (M) output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Telefunken Elektroakustik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248536862857,"sku":"113050","price":5995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/8706\/5737\/files\/telefunken-elektroakustik-u47-microphone-437-used_113050_1_13fe4367-177a-4a46-8404-4914fc0c0085.jpg?v=1784048326","url":"https:\/\/vintage-king-staging.myshopify.com\/products\/telefunken-elektroakustik-u47-microphone-437-used","provider":"Vintage King Staging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
