I can't take much credit really. I just wired it up. The metalwork is fabulous, and much better than I could manage.skipwave said:...Wow!...

Well i think the whole build was about the price of a new TLM49, so good value or very expensive, depending on your perspective. Anyway, tonight we used it just for guide vocals. I'm not sure you would get out a real 47 for that!Still, I'd like to have an everyday U47 that runs on an affordable tube.
Are those Syncron mics in that pic?

I was looking at this one, which gives me another €100 to spend!Brand new TLM49 cost €1300 inc.VAT.

That's that I'm talking about. I mean, I have a UM57 that I could use for a substitute. It's a good mic, but it doesn't feel or sound the same. One of my next projects will be a kind of solid state U47. I'd like to see how close I can get. I still have a couple of Dale M7 capsules and a Gefell UM70S head that I could use for that.Well i think the whole build was about the price of a new TLM49, so good value or very expensive, depending on your perspective.

That's right. I picked them up about a year ago and have just got them working, almost! But that's another story...

circuit-wise, did you do something U47-ish...
