Soundelux E47
discontinued Cardioid Condenser Tube Microphone
Description
The E47 was designed to reproduce the best aspects of the Neumann U47. It is a tube condenser, and a lookalike to the U47, although there are differences (both cosmetic and under the grille).
The mic has two gold-sputtered 6-micron capsules, but in its default configuration only one capsule is active, fixing the mic in cardioid mode. A switch inside the microphone enables the second capsule and the continuously-variable pattern selector built into the power supply.
MIXThe JAN submini [tube in the E47] has the same input impedance as a VF14 [tube used in the U47] but a little less input capacitance, resulting in a 1dB bump in the E47’s response around 10 kHz, compared to the original U47’s response.
The E47 shipped in a wooden box, with dedicated power supply, cable, and shockmount.
The mic carried a 3-year parts and labor warranty. When available, it retailed for $3950.
The Soundelux E47 is also known as: E-47, E47C.
The mic was released in 2001.
