From the seller

The modern Telefunken U47 — the reissue engineers actually reach for — complete, and from a single smoke-free professional studio. The U47 is the microphone behind more legendary vocal records than arguably any mic ever made, and Telefunken's current reissue nails the character that made it famous: that smooth, present midrange and effortless top end that sits a lead vocal in the mix with no fighting. This is the Nickel finish, purchased new about two years ago and used gently in a controlled studio environment. Single owner, smoke-free. Condition: Graded Excellent, honestly. Functionally flawless — it performs like new. Cosmetically it shows light wear on the body: a few small spots/marks that are hard to catch in photos and don't affect use. Nothing structural, no dents, no issues. Maintained with care and stored in its case between sessions. I'd rather call this out up front than have it be a surprise. Included in the box: Telefunken U47 microphone (Nr. 381) Dedicated power supply Elastic shockmount / suspension Tube-style connector cable (mic-to-PSU) Standard mic cable Wooden presentation box Tweed flight/carrying case with ID plate Original hang tag Note on the power supply: the photo shows several supplies from the studio side by side. Only the unit labeled "47" ships with this microphone — that is this U47's dedicated supply. Technical specifications (Telefunken factory spec): Type: Vacuum tube condenser Polar patterns: Cardioid and omnidirectional Frequency range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz, ±3 dB Capsule: Telefunken M7, center-terminated large diaphragm Tube: Telefunken VF14K Transformer: Telefunken BV8 Sensitivity: 24.5 mV/Pa (±1 dB) Output impedance: 200 Ω Max SPL (1% THD): 127 dB Self-noise: 9 dB(A); S/N ratio 85 dB(A) Dimensions: 240 mm L x 60 mm dia; Weight 620 g Also from the same studio: I'm selling a Telefunken ELA M 251E and a Sony C800G, all single-owner from this room — happy to work out a package if you're building a full vocal chain. Shipping: Packed carefully in the factory case, fully insured and tracked. Ships fast — Reverb Preferred Seller.
