The CM48T has a traditional single stage Class A U47\/U48 type circuit.  However, the clever lads at Advanced Audio added a 3-pattern option combining the OMNI feature of the U47 with the figure-8 feature of the U48 while retaining the passive, polarization method of the original U47 and U48 microphones. The CM48T an exceptional microphone with an amazing attention to detail built into a very compact body with extremely high quality components.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn is an excellent choice for vocals, drum overhead, or on acoustic guitar. The CM48T can also easily be placed on electric guitar amplifiers, on a bass cabinet, on kick drum and other high SPL sources, yielding great results.  Its small stature and added -10 dB pad allows it to perform recording tasks once thought to be impossible from larger vintage tube microphone circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt is a perfect addition to any project studio as your first tube mic. It has been designed to work seamlessly in any serious commercial studio as well. You can buy a matched pair without breaking the bank and with the figure-8 option use them as a Blumlein pair.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for that vintage tube microphone sound, in a smaller, amazingly affordable package, the Advanced Audio CM48T is that microphone!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike the original circuit designs, we are using a socketed 7-pin military grade pentode tube wired as a triode.  The use of modern, high tolerance components results in a far quieter, more reliable microphone with the extra feature of 3-patterns and a -10 dB pad. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe single Class A tube circuit stage uses a military GE\/JAN 5654W sub-miniature 7 pin tube.  Great care was take to closely match the plate current and output impedance parameters to that of the original VF14 tube found in vintage U47 \u0026amp; U48 microphones. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdvanced's custom wound miniature BV8 transformer with the traditional 6.5:1 ratio yields outstanding headroom and a warm response rivaling the original larger U47\/U48 but or an incredibly economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe CM48T uses Advanced's tried and true, AK47 capsule, the same capsule used in the CM47ve, CM49, CM48fet and CM47fet\/CE microphones. All Advanced Audio Microphones capsules are hand skinned using 6 micron, gold sputtered mylar. Each capsule goes through Advanced's rigorous testing procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Advanced Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450593898599,"sku":"141357","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/advanced-cm48t_141357_1_96a52c45-cc68-472a-a757-38941de80bd6.jpg?v=1787093681","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/advanced-audio-cm48t-tube-microphone","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
