Behringer T-47
Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone
The Behringer T-47 is a side-address, vacuum tube condenser, designed to be an affordable option for home studios.
The T-47 uses a 9mm miniature electret capsule, mounted within a 16mm ring. Although the Behringer website claims the T47 is a large-diaphragm microphone, it is not.
A 12AX7 tube is used in the mic’s impedance conversion circuit.
A switch on the power supply enables a high-pass filter (-12dB/octave @ 100Hz).
Behringer has not published a frequency-response graph, nor self-noise figures for this microphone. The 9mm electret capsule is likely a high-self-noise capsule (well over 20dBA).

Compared in an A/B test to a more expensive AKG SolidTube, the Behringers lacked some of the top end zing but still turned in decent results recording an acoustic guitar. On a guitar cab, the sound was captured with great accuracy and male vocals were recorded with a flattering sound, rich in low end.
The T-47 includes 30ft cable, shockmount, aluminum case, foam wind filter, external power supply.
The Behringer T-47 is also known as: T47.
The mic was released in 2009.
