Description

This listing is for a factory matched stereo pair of Roswell Pro Audio's famous Mini K47 studio condenser microphone, sold direct from the manufacturer (Roswell Pro Audio). This microphone has become a best-seller due to its versatility in both home and commercial recording studios. Audio engineers love this mic on acoustic and electric guitar, drum overheads and room, lap and pedal steel, piano, and vocals. Our stereo pairs are hand-selected after rigorous audio testing. We test every microphone with a swept sine wave, 20Hz - 20kHz, using a custom-built, calibrated speaker. Pairs are matched based both on sensitivity (0.5dB tolerance at 1kHz) and frequency response (1.5dB, 50Hz - 15kHz). Practically speaking, it means the two mics in our matched pairs will sound identical. Well-matched microphones capture superior 3D imaging for stereo applications, such as drum overheads. Hear a fantastic solo improv of the Little Feat classic, "Dixie Chicken," performed by Bill Payne on grand piano as a test of his new Mini K47 microphones, on Youtube or the Roswell Pro Audio website. The two microphones are packed into a single compact flight case, padded with die-cut foam. We include two of our proprietary Cutaway [tm] shockmount, which uses low-resonance silicone O-rings rather than a resonant elastic cord (because you the mic to record your instrument, not your shockmount). The mics screw into this mount, eliminating the possibility of the mic slipping out (as can happen with friction-fit shockmounts). We also include two microfleece mic covers, which can be used to keep dust off of the capsules between sessions. The Mini K47 is an award-winning condenser mic, a pioneer of the idea of putting a true 34mm K47 style capsule into a small mic body with a great circuit. The idea has been copied by lesser mics, so we've invested into upgrades. All Mini K47s are hand-built in California using fantastic parts: individually biased and selected NOS JFETs, matched vintage film capacitors, NOS output transistors, 1% tolerance audio grade resistors, etc. See the "Media" and "Reviews" sections on the Roswell website for an extensive collection of demo videos and professional product reviews. This product ships for free in the US. Microphones purchased via this Ebay listing are brand new, shipped direct from Roswell headquarters in Sonoma County, California, USA. The Mini K47 carries a 1-year warranty, which can be doubled to 2 years upon registration of the microphone. “When we put the Roswell Mini K-47s up and had a listen, my house engineer at Sunset Sound and I were stunned (in a good way!). They have a smooth detailed sound, without being overly bright. “Many new inexpensive mics are brittle and harsh. Digital is quite unforgiving of harshness. “The Mini K47 is warm, and don't sound inexpensive. It is a true 'no-brainer' for anyone who is looking for a great mic at a great value.” - Ross Hogarth (Mellencamp, REM, Van Halen, Jewel, Sick Puppies, John Fogerty, Motley Crüe, Roger Waters, the Black Crowes, etc) "These mics are freaking incredible!" - Bill Payne (Little Feat, Doobie Bros)
