Description

It was the first post-war mic produced by Georg Neumann GmbH in West Berlin. Built around a World War II military radio tube with a capsule design from 1929, it became a bench mark mic in the early fifties. Engineers found out quickly that the sensitivity of the U 47 greatly enhanced the detail of their recordings.

hey guys, just wondering what Neumann U47 restored by BLUE were worth compared to all original U47s, considering the capsule, tube, transformer, wiring etc are all new. Adding a U47 in good working condition to my gear list would be great, but without the original guts of the mic it's no better than some U47 copy, right?

thanks!
