OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
1 month
- What is so special that you like most and least?
All delivered in a suitcase pelican ultra strong, pretty in gold, impressive. The sound is not aggressive, it is hot massive musical detail, perfect like a U87, but less smooth and more fat. To listen to Lawson on the site and there:

I do not know the original U 47 so I do not know if it's the same sound.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yeah anyway. I hesitated with the U87. If necessary it will be the next. But there is capricious.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
very good ($ 2200 + custom fees, it's still a bonanza
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
definitely

The Lawson Microphones L47MP MK2 is a tube condenser microphone that is modeled after the classic Neumann U47.  It has the same capsule as the U47 and has a similar look while it does sound pretty close the original as well.  I've only used the Lawson Microphones L47MP MK2 for recording and I wouldn't recommend using it for anything else.  It comes with a power supply and special cable as it is a tube mic.


OVERALL OPINION

I only recently got the chance to use the Lawson Microphones L47MP MK2 and I was definitely impressed all around.  Like everyone else I'm a huge fan of the Neumann U47 as I think it is one of the best mics ever made and this does a pretty good job of living up to that kind of hype.  I only had the chance to record vocals and organ with this microphone, but for these applications the mic worked flawlessly as it picks up every detail of the sound.  Although I've only used the Lawson Microphones L47MP MK2 for these applications, since it is pretty close to be exactly the same as a regular U47 I can say that it will probably work quite well in just about any situation that you would want a really detailed sound and I can assume that it would sound great on most acoustic instruments.  It has a really warm sound at the same time that makes it a special microphone all around.  I don't have too many complaints about the Lawson Microphones L47MP MK2 as I really think they did a great job of reproducing the classic U47.  If you are looking for a 47 I would definitely take a look in to the L47 as its a great mic that will save you some money when compared to the U47.
