WEIRD 47 Mod 2. A K-STYLE SINGLE BACKPLATE CAPSULE WITH DUEL PVC DIAPHRAGMS! They said is was impossible! PVC was the original diaphragm material used on U47’s before it was replaced by Mylar. It is more brittle and harder to work with, slightly more sensitive to moisture – but oh that sound! Fluid and accurate high ends froma large diaphragm tube mic! Others have done a masterful job of recreating the original M style capsules where the PVC diaphragms are actually glued to the back-plate, however they are not adjustable afterwards. We have dared to create a capsule using screwed down back-plates following the K capsule designs of later years, which makes the capsule tunable. And there are no dedicated anchor screws in our capsules to interfere with their tuning. The unique sound is an evolution in the traditional 47 sound. We have sought to evolve the concept all along rather than to recreate the wheel. OrigInal U47’s used a steel vacuum tube. We use hand made German tubes of the highest order. Our capsules are made more precisely, more elegantly, than the capsules of old. What we have come up with is not only affordable, but superior to all previous incarnations of the U47. Now you have two flavors of 47’s from WEIRD AUDIO – The WEIRD 47 Mod 1, and the WEIRD 47 Mod 2. WEIRD 47 Mod 1 Tube Condenser U47 Style Microphone by WEIRD AUDIO. Producers like Chris Bell who engineered the first number 1 Eagles album, Jewel and Rob Zombie says fabulous things about the Mod 2 particularly for female vocals. We started building microphones to give the underdog. Producer and artist a chance – a chance to make fabulous recordings without. Having to pay ridiculous prices for mics. WEIRD AUDIO is the only place in the. On a very old and used Neuman U47. Are reasons why THIRD EYE BLIND, MAX VOX (Geico Voice), CHRIS BELL, Rupert. Nieve’s Engineer and the engineer on the first Eagles number one album love this. WEIRD 47 Mod 1 by Weird Audio, is. An evolution of the U47 concept. Fabulous sounding microphone that generally need very little eq to sound. Your vocal and acoustic tracs. 47 Mod 1 by Weird Audio was elegantly designed, to be super easy to use and. To provide liquid – warm sound – better than the original and we can easily. Old designs were destined to. Be improved upon and here is the proof. Our gold plated, 35 mm capsules are. Machined to the highest standard, way beyond what was possible 60 years ago. And our capsules still use highly polished, brass tension rings that are currently. Made of plastic on all Neuman K capsules. Additionally, our 35 mm gold. Sputtered diaphragms are “full bleed” edge-to-edge gold sputtered, whereas. Everyone else’s diaphragms receive only about 70% of the coverage on their. Diaphragms which are often only 34mm, which means we actually utilize the full. 35 mm of diaphragm per side for added sensitivity and frequency response. The WEIRD 47 Mod 1 by Weird Audio provides amazing clarity. Arity in the middle of a pool of warmth that. Is not frequency favoring. That’s a one of a kind trick in the audio world. As far as our capsule’s backplates, you, won’t. See imperfections and tools marks on our work. The back plates don’t. Require extra mounting screws, penetrating the diaphragms on both sides of the. Capsule, affecting the tensioning and the resonance of the capsule. Made microphone and capsule is carefully crafted to be a precision instrument. Like Blue and Neumann used to do. Except Neumann never made their. Microtech Gefell did, yet Neumann shows an old school metal lathe on the cover of their website instead of microphone! But they never used one! We use a German, military grade, premium 7025 tube. This is one of the most consistent tubes ever built. We don’t use a big. Old school, un-shielded hand wired transformer, that produces noise and. Interference, at the base of our microphone sleeve. That was an issue with the. Original design and the BV08. Was redesigned many times trying to address these problems. Our design is way. As for capacitors, we use highbred Rubicon capacitors that. Outlast and outperform the old NAS paper core capacitors that were inconsistent. The big microphone companies don’t exist as they did before. Bought by mass producers and now sell knock offs of the original legends.
