The Pearlman TM-47 Tube Microphone is a hand built recreation of the U47 and built in a body reminiscent of the classic look of the 50s and 60s.
The Pearlman TM-47 is a cardioid microphone made with a K47 style capsule (made in Southern California) and a 6SJ7 or 6AC7 tube. The TM-47 is hand wired, point-to-point circuit with paper-in-oil output capacitor, and the Pearlman BV8 type output transformer.
Hand Built, Not Manufactured
Each Pearlman Microphone is hand-built by Dave Pearlman himself in small batches, right here in the USA. These are not factory-produced microphones - they are individually crafted instruments, assembled with care and tuned by ear to deliver the signature Pearlman sound that engineers and artists around the world love. Because of this boutique, hands-on process, no two Pearlman microphones look exactly alike. You may notice slight tooling marks, finish variations, or other small cosmetic differences from unit to unit. These are normal characteristics of Dave’s hand-built approach and a reflection of the microphone’s authenticity - not defects. In fact, many engineers see these unique touches as part of the charm and artistry that make Pearlman microphones truly special. Please also note that packaging may vary or appear simpler compared to mass-produced brands. Dave puts his focus where it matters most - in the design and sound quality of every microphone he builds. If you’re looking for a microphone that delivers incredible tone, vintage character, and handmade soul, you’ll find that a Pearlman microphone offers something genuinely one-of-a-kind.
