The Ultimate Recording Mic?

Since the early days of recording, sound
engineers have been searching for the
best-sounding mics for recording acoustic
instruments and the human voice.
The resounding choice of professional
recordists around the globe has been
the tube condenser microphone. Why?
Because nothing compares to the sound
captured by a good tube condenser
microphone — so open, warm and full
of character.

But tube mics can wipe out a
home-recording budget faster than
you can say “phantom power supply”.
That’s why we’re so very proud to present
our new T-1 and T-47 microphones.
These mics exemplify our commitment to
quality and value — now anyone who can
a ord a decent live microphone can have
a studio-grade, tube-powered condenser
mic for about the same price.

Classic Tube Sound

The sound of tubes is undeniably rich
and smooth. At the heart of each of these
mics is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube,
which has been speci cally designed to
give these microphones their incredible
sonic character. One advantage tube
condensers have over their solid-state
counterparts is they are not subject to
the rapid rise of odd-order harmonics,
which the ear perceives as highly
unmusical. Even when subjected to high
sound pressure levels, the T-1 and T-47
mics react in much the same way the
human ear does.

T-1 and T-47 Have a Sensitive Side

Another advantage is that tube mics
typically outperform transistor designs
when it comes to subtle signal levels,
such as environmental ambience. The T-1
and T-47 pick up every nuance of your
performance, capturing an openly

transparent slice of time and space
— with just the right amount of tube
warmth. Now you’ll be able to justify that
new set of strings for your acoustic guitar
(because you’ll hear the di erence), and
you’ll marvel at the sparkling highlights
coming o your wind chimes.

But I Need a Good Kick-Drum Mic

While these mics can handle input
levels as high as 130 dB, the T-1 comes
equipped with a switchable -20 dB pad for
the extremely high transients generated
by kick-drums, heavy-metal vocalists and
mortar launchers. With its 20 Hz to 20 kHz
frequency range, the T-1 can handle all
the low-frequency content you can throw
at it, and still provide all the de nition
your sound source deserves.

Dedicated Power Supply

The included BEHRINGER PSU-T
provides the supply voltage for the tube
preampli er and houses a LOW CUT
switch that can be used to reduce the
low frequency response, if so desired.
The included 7-pin multi-core cable
supplies power to the mic and routes

the audio signal to the XLR socket
on the PSU-T.

Value

When it comes to value, BEHRINGER
has always been an industry leader.
The T-1 and T-47 tube condenser
microphones take that legacy to the
next level, providing studio-grade
quality at incredibly consumer-friendly
pricing. These great sounding mics are so
a ordable, you’ll want one for main your
vocals, one for backup vocals, another for
the bass rig, another for...

Cardioid Polar Pattern

Both of these mics feature a tight
cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, which
reduces the pickup of sound from the
sides and rear for improved source
isolation. The included custom shock
