Congrats! Can't wait to hear some clips through it. Your clips of the Flea 47 were very helpful for me a couple of years ago when I was sorting through 47 clones.

It arrives on Friday. I shall give a full report!
We need to give the microphone a name. Since it spent so much time in Finland, I'm thinking a Finnish name would suit.

Sounds great! So are we Finnished now? Hey it also sounds like a British Knock Out. Like Julie Christie. I like it! Chris

Beautiful voice! What capsule does your U47 have in it, again? I know this is heresy, but I honestly think you'd sound even better on a Heiserman 47

Original brass ring K47.

It has that reedy thing (not the right descriptor, but best I can do) that I remember from a good U47..... not much in proximity effect ... how far off the mic?
Killer sound... and more importantly your frame of mind every time you step up to that mic... is going to be one of confidence....
congratulations and may you have many years of faithful service....
cheers

Very nice! Did you get the shock mount?

That sounds so good! I love the way it has kind of an edge to it on the top. But not a gross one.

No shock mount yet. I don’t think this mic has ever been in one, and I might keep it that way.
It does have that nice quintessential “reedy” top end. Klaus says the back side of this capsule has less of that, just in case I ever want to switch sides for a different character.

Dan you sounded great, and so does the U47. I think it's a perfect fit for your voice. If you "take requests", love to hear a clip of something like "Man Of Constant Sorrow" or Hank's "I Saw The Light". Thanks for sharing that. Your voice is very special-and so is that mic! Chris

Sounds absolutely wonderful. Every time I hear a U47 or any of the good clones, I think about selling my M149 and saving for a Tele USA 47. But I love my M149 too much to do that. I think that just means I need to have both.

Beautiful song choice, also. Touching lyrics. The mic does it justice easily.
