Soundelux E47C Tube Condenser Mic Announced
 September 5, 2005
TransAudio Group, U.S. distributor for Soundelux
Microphones, will introduce the manufacturer's new E47C tube condenser
microphone at the upcoming 119th AES Convention in New York. The new Soundelux E47C
recreates the cherished "cardioid only" characteristics of the
original 1950s era German tube 47, which was typically used almost
exclusively in that mode.
Like the original, the E47C displays a signature proximity effect that is
sure to make it popular for close-worked male and female vocals. Offering
12dB of boost at 100Hz when used at a one-inch working distance, the
original 47 is synonymous with big vocals and is indelibly linked with a
diverse roster of artists, including Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin and Sheryl
Crow.
When working at a greater distance, the signature head grille sound of the
tube 47 produced a sound that made it the go-to mic for engineers recording
everything from brass-heavy jazz big bands to more intimate ensembles of any
instrumentation. The E47C will likewise bring an intimate, warm tone to
cello, violin and acoustic or electric bass, and an astounding impact to
individual drums or entire kits. A solo singer playing acoustic guitar may
be recorded with just one E47C.
Hand-built and costing about half of the current market value of the
original classic, the E47C features a NOS Telefunken Large Plate EF814k
tube for delivering unique vintage amplification and dynamics response, a
N470 power supply, custom 20-foot Soundelux cable between the power supply
and mic, 47 suspension clamp-type shockmount with wood box. Replacement
parts are readily available.
Soundelux Microphones are distributed by TransAudio Group.
MSRP: $4,250.00
