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 buying a tube mic 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 T-47 microphone. This incredible mic exempli es our commitment to
quality and value – now anyone who can a ord a decent live microphone can
get a studio-grade, tube-powered condenser mic for about the same price.
High-quality components and
#
exceptionally rugged construction
ensure long life

Classic Tube Sound
The sound of tubes is undeniably rich and smooth. At the heart of each T-47 microphone is a handselected 12AX7 tube, which has been speci cally designed to give this mic its incredible sonic
character. One major advantage a tube condenser mic has over its solid-state counterpart – the T-47
is not subject to the rapid rise of odd-order harmonics, which the ear perceives as highly unmusical.
Even when subjected to extremely-high sound pressure levels, the T-47 mic reacts in much the same
way as the human ear.
The T-47 Has a Sensitive Side
Another advantage is that a tube mic typically outperforms transistor designs when it comes to subtle
signal levels, such as environmental ambience. The T-47 picks 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.
The T-47 Makes an Exceptional Instrument Mic
The T-47 can easily handle input levels as high as 130 dB, making it the ideal mic for a wide
range of studio and lice sound applications – including virtually all types of brass, woodwinds,
percussion and of stringed instruments. With its 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, the T-47 can
handle all the low-frequency content you've got – and still provide the crisp, clean de nition your
sound source deserves.

Cardioid Polar Pattern
Source isolation is a prime concern – both live and in the studio, so the T-47 features a tight cardioid
(heart-shaped) pattern, which signi cantly reduces the pickup of sound from the sides and rear.
The included custom shock mount ts all standard microphone stands and provides further isolation
from external sources of vibration, such as sounds transmitted through oor joists, outside tra c, etc.
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 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.
