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, Aerosmith/Jack Douglas, Michael Monroe) — largely historical/genre reference, not confirmed current-model endorsement; flagged as inference
Notes: Emulates the Neumann U47. 'SE' uses a modern-manufacture 6SJ7 (steel-jacketed) tube described by Peluso as 'a modern sonic equivalent to the vintage VF14' (the original U47's tube). Lower price than the LE (vintage NOS-tube) variant. Requires MX-56 PSU, not phantom powered. Country of manufacture (USA) inferred from brand-level fact (Ivy, VA), not explicitly restated on this page. Price is USD MSRP.
