Sound Pure's Take
The Pearlman TM-47 is boutique microphone designer Dave Pearlman’s faithful, handcrafted homage to the legendary Neumann U47.Rather than taking modern shortcuts or using off-the-shelf clone kits, Pearlman hand-wires each unit point-to-point, combining a custom US-made K47-style capsule with a historically accurate BV8-style output transformer and a NOS tube circuit.
The Pearlman TM-47 is a workhorse vocal and instrument microphone for tracking environments that need big, warm analog character.It captures the lush body, smooth top end, and transformer weight of a classic 1950s tube condenser while remaining easy to maintain for decades of studio use.
From Pearlman Microphones
This microphone is based on the venerable U47 and is built in a body reminiscent of the classic look of the 50s and 60s. The stock TM-47 is a cardioid microphone made with the Pearlman K47 style capsule (made in Southern California), a 6SJ7 tube, hand wired, point-to-point circuit with paper-in-oil output capacitor, and the Pearlman BV8 type output transformer. All Pearlman microphones come with shockmount, Mogami cable with Neutrik connectors, USA made power supply, and aluminum carrying case. .. Gluten free.
