Advanced Audio Microphones CM-47

Description

The CM-47 is a tube mic built in China, then upgraded with a Peluso CEK-367 capsule — a Neumann U47-style, 34mm dual diaphragm capsule built with imported German 6-micron Mylar.

Advanced Audio also upgrades the amplifier circuit to provide more headroom than in the original U-47, with better transient response. The stock transformer is traded for a “BV8 dual bobbin output transformer wound to the original Telefunken blueprints,” most likely a Cinemag unit. (Hear a comparison of the Neumann BV8 to a Cinemag CM-2461 NiCo FFT.)

Like the U-47/U-48, the CM-47 is a multipattern microphone, offering 9 selectable patterns via switch on the remote power supply.

The mic ships in a road case with power supply, cable, and shockmount.

The Advanced Audio Microphones CM-47 is also known as: CM47.

The mic was released in 2007.
