Great mic!

Long time studio owner but my first mic build. Picked the M47 kit with K47 capsule. Finished in three hours with hobby electronics background. No problems whatsoever.
Made a quick comparison with my U87 vintage and TLM103 Neumanns. Voice and ac guitar. This is a great sounding mic. Smooth and silky. Needs more time in studio, but so far nothing I didn’t like.
It’s big, heavy and feels good in hand. Wont be my last Mic&Mod build. Absolutely recommended!

Easy to assemble

Documentation was good and easy to follow, we choose the K47 capsule, good sound, we added epoxy clue to the sides of the tube socket board, into the metal frame grooves, to support the tube board better, when tubes are pulled out we dont want too much force to go into the solderings

My first recording with the M47

Well, just did a long session with M47, Neumann M147 and WA 47.
The three mikes were placed on different spots, capturing the same source - a folk instrument, similar to flute, with lots of breathing and whistling sounds, in a "dead" room.
I definitely liked the M47 best of the three mikes. It was placed furthest from the source. Yes, the superior sound quality might have been due to the position, but M47 is definitely one **** of a mike! Absolutely killed the other two. Saving dough for another one.....

Excellent quality and stunning looks!

The M47 was packed extremely well, I was very pleased. The build was fairly easy, the instructions were very nice. The microphone looks and feels great. I have not used it in a recording yet, but left it on for a day, just to make sure I didn’t make mistakes with the assembly. I know quite much about it and am confident it will be a great asset to my studio. I have a dual channel Redd47 replica and Urei 1176, which paired with this beast will make the ultimate Abbey Road vocal chain!

I am planning to buy a pair of M87s, just waiting for the right time.

Thank you, Mic & Mod, job well done indeed !!!

Just so amazing

Just so amazing to look at, and touch... and amazing sound... top quality components, and a very detailed guide... makes the build a highly addictive experience
