The Ultimate Recording Mic?
Since the early days of
recording, sound engineers have been searching for the best-sounding
mics for recording acoustic instruments and the human voice. The
resounding choice of professional recordists around the globe has been
the tube condenser microphone. Why? Because nothing compares to the
sound captured by a good tube condenser microphone — so open, warm and
full of character.
But tube mics can wipe
out a home-recording budget faster than you can say “phantom power
supply.” That’s why we’re so very proud to present our new T-1 and T-47
microphones. These mics exemplify our commitment to quality and value —
now anyone who can afford a decent live microphone can have a
studio-grade, tube-powered condenser mic for about the same price.
Classic Tube Sound
The sound of tubes is undeniably rich and smooth. At the heart of each
of these mics is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube, which has been
specifically designed to give these microphones their incredible sonic
character. One advantage tube condensers have over their solid-state
counterparts is they are not subject to the rapid rise of odd-order
harmonics, which the ear perceives as highly unmusical. Even when
subjected to high sound pressure levels, the T-1 and T-47 mics react in
much the same way the human ear does.
T-1 and T-47 Have a Sensitive SideAnother advantage is that
tube mics typically outperform transistor designs when it comes to
subtle signal levels, such as environmental ambience. The T-1 and T-47
pick up every nuance of your performance, capturing an openly
transparent slice of time and space — with just the right amount of
tube warmth. Now you’ll be able to justify that new set of strings for
your acoustic guitar (because you’ll hear the difference), and you’ll
marvel at the sparkling highlights coming off your wind chimes.
But I Need a Good Kick-Drum MicWhile these mics can handle
input levels as high as 130 dB, the T-1 comes equipped with a
switchable -20 dB pad for the extremely high transients generated by
kick-drums, heavy-metal vocalists and mortar launchers. With its 20 Hz
to 20 kHz frequency range, the T-1 can handle all the low-frequency
content you can throw at it, and still provide all the definition your
sound source deserves.
Cardioid Polar PatternBoth of these mics feature a tight
cardioid (heart-shaped) pattern, which reduces the pickup of sound from
the sides and rear for improved source isolation. The included custom
shock mount fits all standard microphone stands and provides further
isolation from external sources of vibration, such as sounds
transmitted through floor joists, outside traffic, etc.
Dedicated Power SupplyThe included BEHRINGER PSU-T provides
the supply voltage for the tube preamplifier and houses a LOW CUT
switch that can be used to reduce the low frequency response, if so
desired. The included 7-pin multi-core cable supplies power to the mic
and routes the audio signal to the XLR socket on the PSU-T.
ValueWhen it comes to value, BEHRINGER has always been an
industry leader. The T-1 and T-47 tube condenser microphones take that
legacy to the next level, providing studio-grade quality at incredibly
consumer-friendly pricing. These great sounding mics are so affordable,
you’ll want one for your main vocals, one for backup vocals, another
for the bass rig, and another for...
