The Mini K47 captures the tone of a vintage microphone, with modern performance specifications.

• The original compact K47 condenser microphone
• Vintage tone from a true 34mm large-diaphragm K47 capsule
• Made with hand-picked New Old Stock, European-made signal-path capacitors, and low-noise, 1% tolerance resistors
• Designed, assembled, and tested in California
• Excels on vocals, electric guitar, piano, and as drum overheads

"K47" refers to the capsule design. Our K47 capsule is modeled after the one in the most famous microphone of all time. It provides a full, balanced tone without any harshness or hype in the upper frequencies. It will record less sibilance and fewer mouth sounds on your next vocal track. It will add weight, body, and tone to high strings and electric guitars. It will reduce the jangle in strummed acoustic tracks.

“These mics are @#$%& incredible! Pardon my French. ;-)” - Bill Payne, Little Feat

We created a clean, transparent circuit design. It lets the sound of the capsule pass through without alteration. Self-noise and distortion performance are on par with microphones costing significantly more. The circuit incorporates the best tricks we’ve learned from modifying and upgrading other companies’ products.

“Many new, inexpensive mics are brittle and harsh. Digital is quite unforgiving of harshness. The Mini K47 is warm and doesn‘t sound inexpensive. It is a true ‘no-brainer’ for anyone who is looking for a great mic at a great value.” - Ross Hogarth, GRAMMY-winning Producer, Mixer, and Engineer

Like all Roswell microphones, the Mini K47 is designed, assembled, and tested in California. Every mic is subjected to a 24-hr "burn-in" on our conditioning fixture, then tested extensively prior to shipping: polarity, noise, frequency response, sensitivity, and more. We perform an acoustic sweep test and multiple listening tests before any microphone leaves our facility.

The Mini K47 has a durable, heat-treated finish. Each mic ships with our exclusive Cutaway™ shockmount, Roswell-branded microfleece mic sock, and a flight case.
