The TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik U47 is a faithful reissue of the world-renowned tube condenser microphone used on some of the most legendary recordings of the last 75 years. Since its debut in 1947, the U47 has established itself as a true legend in the studio — the world's first condenser microphone to offer selectable polar patterns, whose full-bodied sound and elegant high-end made it an instant favorite of crooners, jazz icons, and classical engineers. TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's recreation stays true to the design that made the original famous, maintaining as many original components as possible while enhancing reliability with modern build quality — retaining the historically accurate M7-style capsule, VF14K vacuum tube, and BV8 output transformer that produce the same rich and vibrant tone. Built with uncompromising attention to detail in the USA, it's not just a microphone; it's a timeless piece of recording history brought back to life.

Key elements of its design:

• Recreated Dual-Sided M7 Capsule The dual-sided M7 capsule has been painstakingly recreated to deliver the same sonic signature, transient response, and off-axis behavior as the original 47. This iconic capsule provides full-bodied cardioid and omnidirectional frequency range with a naturally rising presence that flatters vocals, acoustic guitars, and pretty much everything else.
• VF14K Vacuum Tube The amplification stage is based around the TELEFUNKEN VF14K metal-envelope vacuum tube — a modern reissue of the original VF-14M U47 tube and a "plug and play" replacement — that delivers the same harmonic richness and gentle saturation the original is famous for.
• BV8 Output Transformer Following the tube stage, the BV8 output transformer is another huge part of the U47's iconic sound. Like the other components, it has been engineered to the original specifications for optimal frequency response, minimal phase distortion, and tonal integrity even at high SPL levels.
• Switchable Polar Patterns As the world's first condenser mic with selectable patterns, the reissue maintains this versatile capability: engage cardioid for a tight, focused sound ideal for close-miking vocals and instruments, or flip to omnidirectional for room ambience and a more open, natural tone for ensemble recordings.
• Authoritative Mid-Forward Tone The U47 is known for its authoritative mid-range and extended low-end response, with a classic punchy, mid-forward sound and pleasing bite — excelling at everything from vocals and electric guitar to orchestral and chamber recordings.
• Complete Studio Package Each package includes the M940 power supply, M740 suspension mount, FC40 locking flight case, and WB40 wooden storage box, ensuring your U47 stays protected and performs at its best from session to session.

Reviewers celebrate its faithfulness to the legend. Vintage King notes its matte-nickel-finished body houses a new BV8 output transformer and VF-14K vacuum tube — a plug-and-play replacement for the rare VF-14M tubes of the original — describing how its authoritative mid-range and extended low-end response "dance from your ears much as a vintage wine dances from the palate."
