level > + 28dBu, distortion 0.03%, freq response 0.5dB down
at 20Hz and 50kHz

Cloned Neumann U47
This brand new U47 clone was build from the ground up
around a EF14 tube, rather than the original and now almost
unobtainable VF14 tube.
The PSU supplies regulated heater and HT voltages with a
unique scheme for obtaining the required tube bias.
From the owner : "The mic sounds great, the best i've
heard. The bottom end is very tight and mids warm and forward,
may convert the other U47 to EF14 after hearing this"
