The
coolest bit of kit in the studio. This is a screw-for-screw replica
of a U47, painstakingly recreated by Gunter Wagner in Sydney.
It
isn't perfect, but neither was a Neumann U47. The best bit of advice
for this mic is not to try and use it on every vocalist that comes
in (although it is tempting). Really loud singers tend to impart
too much distortion on it and there's no pad. I find it perfect
for female singers, it adds a sparkle and sheen that is worth every
cent of it's purchase price.
