Details
Controls: 9-position polar pattern selector on MX-56 PSU
I/O: Mic body connects via 8-pin screw-on cable (20ft) to MX-56 external power supply; PSU outputs balanced XLR line signal
Notable use: Site copy references classic U47 use cases (Frank Sinatra, The Beatles) — historical reference to the original U47, not a confirmed current-model endorsement; flagged as inference
Notes: Emulates the Neumann U47. 'LE' (Limited Edition) uses a vintage NOS EF12 Stahlröhre (steel-jacketed) tube from the 1940s-60s, vs the SE model's modern-manufacture 6SJ7 tube — priced higher due to rarity of the vintage tube. Requires MX-56 PSU (115V/230V AC), not phantom powered. Country of manufacture (USA) explicitly stated on this page. Price is USD MSRP.
