Neumann U47 tube microphone
Out of the thousands of different mics out there only a small handful have achieved iconic status. There can be no doubt that the lowly sm57 has appeared on more albums than any other mic in existence simply based on its perfect suitability for recording the snare drum but the real holy grail of mics has to be the legendary Neumann U47 tube microphone. Introduced in 1949 a it offered the perfect high quality sound that George Neumann knew that studio engineers were looking for. With a big warm tone but a lift around 8 KHz the Neumann had a brighter, more detailed sound than their favourite RCA ribbon mics and enabled the engineers of the day to place the vocal into big string arrangements without it getting lost. But singers also loved the mic and it was quickly embraced by Frank Sinatra who insisted on his Telefunken branded U47 for all his sessions.
