The NR47...
Those who cannot obtain or maintain a 1960s legend can now own the NR47. It brings out the best from its vintage Telefunken, Mullard or American tube and looks great with a classic long body style. It is hand made with a custom backplate and capsule with 3 switchable patterns plus 6 in between and comes with a shockmount, case and cables. It sounds superb, competing favourably with others costing much more. Click here : to buy at £945 each including vat and free UK/EU/USA delivery.
Future Music April 2010 : "Big and bold with plenty of punch, a modern variation on a classic theme. A fantastic mic. Taking the microphone from it's wooden case you could be mistaken for thinking you were holding a well-preserved original. The finish is excellent and it feels substantial. On vocals using a mixture of cardioid and omni patterns the result was excellent. Great detail, as smooth as silk and very easy to EQ. It's so well balanced across the spectrum... Powerful lows, warm mids and no nasty overtones even close-up. On acoustic guitar the NR47 really shone. Possibly the best depth I have ever heard without any lack of mid presence and a lovely smooth top.For the full review on Music radar click here ;

Sound on Sound Magazine : "The NR47 is a fine-sounding mic in its own right. The sound is smooth and refined, with a nice sheen at the high end and a full-bodied bottom end. The mid-range is fast, detailed and clear but not overly ‘valvey’, while the bottom end exhibits a slightly warm and full-bodied character that is flattering to most sources, especially vocals. I rarely felt the need to equalise the mic within mixes...The mic itself exudes a much higher standard of quality in its fit and finish, and it possesses a very usable vintage sound character. I can say that the NR47 delivers exactly the kind of sound you’d expect from looking at it the terms ‘large-scale’, ‘weighty’, ‘presence’, and ‘mellow’ all seem apposite." March 2010
