Joemeek JM47

The Joe Meek JM47 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone made for use in the recording studio.  The mic has a wide body and looks like a tube mic, but isn't as it has a FET based preamp.  There isn't much more to say about the mic as it picks up the standard 20 Hz to 20 KHz and there isn't anything out of the ordinary going on here.

OVERALL OPINION

The Joe Meek JM47 is a low cost microphone for home studio owners.  Joe Meek isn't known for their microphones but rather for their outboard gear and plug-ins, so I was a bit surprised to come across a microphone made by them.  For starters, I will say that this mic is only suitable for home and small studio owners as the sound quality and overall make up of the mic just isn't on par for a professional of any type.  This being said, for this type of microphone in this price range the JM47 will definitely get the job done.  It has a pretty clean tone, but lacks the fullness I would look for in a professional large diaphragm condenser mic.  This microphone can be used for just about any application in the home studio where you would be looking for a clean signal.  For example, I would use this on anything ranging from vocals to acoustic guitar to using it as a drum overhead.  The price is definitely the main reason that the JM47 will attract customers, and for good reason as the mic is definitely priced right.  However, these days there are a lot of microphones to choose from in this price range - some of them higher and some of them lower in quality than this one.  I would absolutely recommend shopping around if you are looking for an all purpose condenser microphone for you home studio, as even though this is a good deal, I believe that there are some better ones out there...

Used for two days, a compar Audio-Technica AT 4033a, nothing ... The 4033a is prcis, and restores the spectrum better, especially in the treble.
The JM47 is, all the same heat in aprciable mdiums, trs enjoyable, but lack of definition in the highs and lows ... passs or are they??
The ratio Q / P is good for 169euros in Playback ... it seems that the price drop adjacent ...
It's a nice little micro, small budget, but ... ds as I can, I will take the equivalent in 4033a or Audio Technica. Its price is more of the same lv.

For me, this "meekrophone" I t comes in a suitcase with his custom flight case and shockmount mic prampli - Joemeek compressor VC3Q, all for about 1200 CHF - approx. 750. It's been 4-5 years (we are in March 2007) I have and it dropped in price since ^ ^

True, he lacks a bit of treble and bass but in fact it dpend for which language it is sung destiny. For English, has no drang not really, especially if the singer's mother tongue is English. But against, for Fran larger share in the high - and low, but also to a lesser extent - when a lack of acute-same - and also lower but to a lesser extent. But against some, it is more chalereux ^ ^

Anecdote: I just purchased an Apex 435 (good for anything other than voice, I admit) and it is exactly the opposite. It has the mids and bass lacking in Joemeek but it is colder ... ^ ^

In addition, it is not the picture above. Instead of being mtallis srigraphi gray dark gray black srigraphi mine is green. And it's a green spcial is Joemeek green. In addition, they removed the brand and logo, only the name of the MODEL "JM47" green NRTEE majestically in front of the microphone.

For the era, a good quality c'tait price but now I find a microphone Chernobyl chalereux as Joemeek, certainly, but will also slightly in the treble and bass like Apex when se. Such as the Audio-Technica AT4033 ^ ^ But it is also in the price range above, even when
