D-47 Tube Microphone Kit – Classic U47-Style Tube Microphone Design
Build your own U47-style tube condenser microphone with the D-47 Tube Microphone Kit, a premium DIY project inspired by one of the most legendary microphones in recording history.
Designed for builders who want rich mids, depth, warmth, and timeless studio character, the D-47 delivers the bold, musical sound that made this style of microphone a favorite for vocals, acoustic instruments, and high-end recording applications.
At the heart of the D-47 is a carefully developed circuit built around a twin 6028/408A pentode tube configuration, a concept associated with Oliver Archut, chosen for its ability to reduce noise and output impedance while preserving the classic character of the original design.
The D-47 is compatible with both K47 and M7-style capsules, giving builders the flexibility to shape the final voice of the microphone. It also supports the AMI BV08 Classic Series Transformer and the AMI T47 Transformer, with an additional PCB option available for the Cinemag 2461 NiCo Transformer.
One of the standout features of the D-47 is its true omni pattern switching, achieved through an ultra-high-impedance relay installed on the microphone PCB and controlled through the microphone PSU for seamless operation.
