Immerse yourself in the rich, warm sound of the Neumann M147, a vacuum tube condenser microphone that's a true workhorse in the studio. Designed with the legendary K 47 dual diaphragm capsule, this microphone brings a touch of the classic U 47 and M 49 models to the table, while introducing a modern twist.

The M147 features a tube that acts as an impedance converter, followed by an efficient, transformerless output circuit, ensuring an impressively low self-noise level. This innovative blend of tube technology and advanced solid-state circuitry is what sets this microphone apart.

Designed to feed long microphone cables without compromising audio quality, the M147 is as practical as it is powerful. Its satin nickel finish adds a touch of elegance to your studio setup, and the microphone comes complete with a cable, metal swivel mount, and a compact universal power supply, all housed in a high-quality aluminum case.

Whether you're recording vocals or miking up instruments, the M147's famous capsule and tube characteristics work in harmony to deliver superb results. The incredibly low self-noise of the tube circuitry makes this microphone a great fit for modern recording chains, both analog and digital.
