The Peluso 2247 Tube Microphone is inspired by and styled after the "Neumann U-47", which was modified by German Radio in the '70s to incorporate a glass triode tube. That modification brought it up to broadcast standards. The Peluso 22 47 has the additional feature of 9 polar patterns, controlled from the power supply. It captures the low frequency nuances of the original "47" with smooth mids and balanced highs.
The microphone comes as a complete system, with Microphone in Wood Box, Power Supply, 7 Conductor Cable, and Shock Mount in Flight Case. Hand built in the USA.
"The Peluso 2247 is the lower cost offering in Peluso's 47-offerings. The difference? Aside from it's 'short body' configuration, the 2247 uses a somewhat standard dual-triode glass-tube, but the electrical design is such that it is able to offer performance similar to that of the tubes in the SE and LE versions. The sound is nice and rich. It's main sonic difference is that the low frequency range is a little less defined than in the SE and LE versions. So, there is a sonic benefit to upgrading, but the 2247 is certainly no slouch! This is a great sounding microphone and should be welcomed by those working on a budget looking to get their first really nice microphone."Alan Moon - Front End Audio
