Iconic Design Reborn With Modern Precision

One glance at the Diamond Series U47, and you'll recognize the iconic design that made the original a studio staple. The large chrome headgrille houses a newly manufactured M7 capsule—the same one used in Georg Neumann's pioneering 1928 design. Inside, a custom BV8 output transformer and VF14K vacuum tube serve as worthy modern replacements for the original components, while retaining the warm, nuanced tone that made the U47 a classic. With its matte nickel body and vintage-style diamond logo, this recreation nails the look and feel of a true recording legend.

Stereo Pair Optimized for Seamless Recordings

While the original U47 was a mono mic, the Diamond Series set comes as a stereo-matched pair for flawless stereo tracking. Both microphones feature sequentially numbered components and housings for perfectly matched performance. They're powered by a custom dual power supply that energizes both mics simultaneously. From the factory, TELEFUNKEN's engineers hand-selected and tuned this pair to exhibit uniform off-axis response for seamless imaging across the stereo field. With the U47 stereo pair, your recordings will exhibit uncompromising depth, dimension and realism.
