Rich in sound, warmth, and tone.
Overview
The JM47 Concept
The JM47 Meekrophone is a professional solo feature microphone designed to be the ultimate performance mic for studio recording. It is a true 'condenser' microphone in the best historic tradition, with fine transformer coupled electronics to improve on the recorded sound depth and quality achieved.
Why use a JM47
If you are recording vocals and instruments for any purpose, the microphone you are using is the sole source of your sound. There is a lot you can do to a signal within digital systems these days to reduce noise, and improve the tones within a sound, but there is no substitute for the sheer quality obtained from the classic microphone designs that are used by all good studios around the world.
The JM47 offers this classic design to give your studio access to the same rich sounds that professional recording artistes enjoy. The JM47 captures all the subtleties of a performance, and also adds a certain flavor, like the microphone classics, that sets these apart from standard studio mics. This will ensure the JM47 recognition at all studio levels.
What makes the JM47 special?
The JM47 is a classic microphone design, with vintage style transformer coupling to ensure the finest full-bodied sound from its gold diaphragm capsule. This technique gives a warmth and character of sound impossible with so-called modern solid-state designs from continental manufacturers.
