All these sound samples are great selling tools for Lawson! Great sounding microphones.

Thanks for the link TBone. That's a very nice sounding vocal. I can see how people say this is a modern interpretation of the U47 sound, as I don't quite hear that mid push I'm used to hearing on 47s.

There's a mk2 47 on reverb right now for a not-too-bad price. If you can wrangle the guy off-reverb you might be able to get it like 100 bucks cheaper...

I saw that, but 2 things. 1 no picks showing that it truly is a MKII,, yeah I know it probably is but if it isn’t? 2 . ITS FRICKIN GOLD! Way to bling for me.

Haha yeah, the old Lawson gold finish was gaudy as heck. FWIW - you can tell it's a mk2 cuz of the spare tube in the pic (it's the Sovtek box). Lawson switched to a Ruskie tube for v2 and that's what's pictured.

So you’ll get a kick out of this...I purchased that L47 on eBay for $600, it looked like a mki but after staring at the pics I realized the power supply is actually a mkii, and the listing never actually said it was a mki or mkii. So right about that time I was feeling like I may have lucked out and snagged a mkii!!! But then....2 hours or so after I purchased it, from a seller in France, I get an eBay alert that the item has been delivered already! Lol, turns out it was a scam, eBay is refunding me. I had a feeling this was gonna happen. Oh well, too good to be true ya know?

eeesh, that sucks you guys! i got screwed for a pair of dbx 160VUs on eBay and didn't get a refund...some sort of polish scam team that ran a massive ebay scam operation in the U.S.. The FBI actually ended up getting involved. Anywho, the good news is, this was long enough ago (~20 years) that the 160s weren't as insanely expensive (read: artificially inflated) as they are today, so the financial hit wasn't *too* bad. Then again...I was only like 20 so it seemed like a shit-ton of money at the time!!

Dang, trying to stick to my purchasing plan, I cannot be persuaded to buy a mic, but damn that sounds good, and the switching headbasksts is a very cool feature...now I have to forget this mic exists until I’m in the microphone market again.

AEA wins the bling category by far. The two most eye catching and commented-on mics at my shop are the r88 (“looks like a dildo!” Says the drummer every time) and the r44

I get the dildo component all the time. I also had a female artist ask me to swap out a R44 because it “looks like I’m signing into a giant nut sack”
