The New MS47 Mark II

The new MS47 Mark II is a future proof design using no endangered tubes or other parts. The E81CC (aka 12AT7, ECC81) can be easily found and various NOS versions can be used if preferred. The circuit is proprietary and unlike other more common designs. It yields lower noise, distortion, and output impedance than garden variety tube circuits. All components have been chosen by ear. Previously, our microphones have been produced in very small numbers, and most are owned by a select few of Nashville's and the world's finest studios, artists, engineers, and producers. The Mark II design exceeds the performance of our EF14 design and enables us to produce a greater number of consistent high quality microphones. Found within:

• Siegfried Thiersch M7 capsule
• Custom Haufe BV8 output transformer
• NOS Siemens E81CC Vacuum Tube
• Handmade point to point construction
• Fully regulated Peak Power PSU
• Mogami Tube Microphone Cable with Neutrik XLR connectors
• Pelican case with molded interior
• Shock mount
