the original U-47 incorporating this glass style tube to conform to broadcast standards. This tube
helps the 22 47 achieve its high gain and low noise floor. Our tubes are thoroughly tested and fully
covered by our 3-year warranty. Professional engineers enjoy great success with the 22 47 for a
wide range of applications. The 22 47 is know for its smooth sound, high gain and low noise floor.
There are countless applications for this versatile microphone.

Comparing the 22 47, 22 47 LE and 22 47 SE:

All of the microphones in our 22 47 line are styled after the vintage Neumann U-47. This legendary
microphone, manufactured in the 1950s and 60s, was revered for its clear sound, smooth and
warm mid range, balanced high end and great body. The U-47 was used extensively during the
recordings of the Beatles music and has continued to be used in countless well-known recordings
since. Neumann discontinued production of this model when Telefunken ceased production of its
key component, the metal VF 14 tube. Our 22 47 LE model is supplied with a German vintage tube
from this era. We have worked for years to acquire a supply of these rare tubes. We are proud to
offer a microphone with this true vintage tube. With our 22 47 SE model we are able to offer the
same sonic quality with an American style metal tube. These tubes are available to us in larger
quantities. This allows us to provide the sonic qualities of a "47" microphone with a lower price.
The only discernible difference in sound between these two models is a 2 dB quieter noise floor on
the SE model. The Peluso 22 47 model is based on a modification to the original U-47 for German
Radio broadcast standards in the 1970s incorporating a glass triode tube. Carefully selected
components, thorough testing, and attention to detail all come together making these some of our
most popular microphones.
