I have this wonderful micro recent years (bought second hand in mint condition).
I used mainly for singing.
OVERALL OPINION
I was lucky to get a model in perfect condition (the first owner who was a friend). A single failure (and impeccable customer service and expensive Neumann) repaired in a few days (changing the capsule).
The sound is outstanding: soft, detailed, clear and intimate. No real complaint, if not the low output level. We need a good preamp. On an Avalon, it's ugly (I think the U47 and Avalon do not together). On a Universal Audio or Manley is amazing. No doubt "" the best vocal mic, with the Manley Gold, whose sound is near.
