Neumann M 147-TUBE-SET-US Cardioid tube mic with K 47 capsule

Neumann M 147-TUBE-SET-US Cardioid tube mic with K 47 capsule, includes N 149 A, SG 1, KT 8 and case

The Neumann M 147-TUBE-SET-US tube sound that comes along with a cardioid directional characteristic and a classic design. The double diaphragm capsule is built based from its legendary predecessors, the U 47 and M 49.

The M 147 Tube is a vacuum tube condenser microphone that is professionally designed with cardioid characteristic. At the very center of this microphone is the  K 47 dual diaphragm capsule, which is built according to its model's now legendary predecessors, the U 47 and the M 49.

Following the capsule comes a tube that is capable to function as an impedance converter. The next stage is made as an efficient, transformerless output circuit, that is built to guarantee an extremely low self-noise level.
Note: This innovative combination of current tube technology along with the most advanced solid-state circuitry was decisive in awarding the 1997 TEC Award to the related M 149 Tube mic.

The M 147 Tube is designed capable to feed extremely long microphone cables that are not affecting the quality of the audio signal. Like all Neumann tube microphones, the M 147 Tube is made with an elegant satin nickel finish.

The microphone is delivered as a complete set in a high-quality aluminum case. Included with the microphone are a microphone cable, a metal swivel mount for a mic stand, and a compact universal power supply for standard mains sockets. Our modern manufacturing methods makes it possible to offer this complete set at a very attractive price.

Applications

The famous capsule, together with complimenting tube characteristics, makes the M147 Tube especially well suited as a vocal microphone. In addition, it is a superb spot mic for all types of musical instruments. The extremely low self-noise of its tube circuitry makes the mic perfectly suited for use in modern recording chains, analog and digital.
