Neumann Dual Channel Microphone Preamp You’ve wisely invested in world-class microphones from Neumann and other top manufacturers. Naturally you want to maximize their performance — which means directing a critical eye towards the preamps in your studio. Legendary German microphone company Neumann’s first new mic preamp design in decades, the 2-channel V 402 is a stunning technological achievement. Launched in the 1980s, their storied V 476b preamp is still in use worldwide. Neumann has leveraged today’s state-of-the-art parts and transformerless circuit technology in the V 402, and the sonic rewards are, well, sumptuous, to say the least. Neumann always strives for sonic perfection in their microphones, and the V 402 is designed to unwaveringly preserve the purity of the mic signal, regardless of gain setting. Moogie Canazio on the Neumann V 402 Preamp: Your DI sources will sound amazing. As a full-featured, workhorse 2-channel preamplifier, the Neumann V 402 leaves nothing to be desired. Like its mic inputs, its instrument DI inputs are designed for absolute sonic purity and will capture your electric guitars, basses, and keyboards without added coloration or loss of detail. Neumann’s sophisticated circuit design features a very high input impedance with the resolving power to deliver a punchy and lustrous sound from your DI sources, noise-free. 60dB of gain; studio-grade headphone amp. The V 402's 60Hz highpass filter is meticulously designed to remove pops and rumble without degrading your signal. For easy monitoring, the V 402 is equipped with a studio-grade headphone amplifier that ensures absolute monitoring accuracy. Independent per-channel volume controls let you dial in your monitor mix without affecting recorded signals. The V 402 also includes per-channel polarity inversion, phantom power, and switchable 20dB pads that let you use the preamp with high-level sources up to 28dBu without distortion. With the pad disengaged, you've got 60dB of gain on tap — enough to handle even your lowest output passive ribbon mics. Absolute sonic purity. Experienced engineers, producers, and artists will understand what it takes to produce a mic preamplifier that deserves to wear the Neumann badge: meticulous German engineering, stringent instrument measurement, and elaborate subjective listening tests. Handcrafted in Germany, the V 402 gives you an uncompromising, stunningly transparent signal chain that will significantly elevate the quality your studio recordings. And if your work takes you across the pond, Neumann has you covered: the V 402 ships with IEC mains cables for the US, UK, and EU. Take your recordings to the next level. Engineers at Sweetwater will tell you that a microphone is only as good as the preamp you plug it into. Discerning audiophiles will be delighted with the V 402. It amplifies your mic signal without undesirable coloration, noise, or distortion. Sure, today’s inexpensive preamps are better than ever, but they pale in comparison to a top-shelf pre like the V 402; sounding dull and lifeless, particularly at higher gain settings. Through the V 402, signals spring to life with sonic authority, weight, and shimmering detail. You’ll be amazed at this preamp’s uncanny ability to finesse even an inexpensive dynamic mic on a snare drum or a guitar cabinet. And with a classic Neumann such as the U 87 Ai or KM 184, the results are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Take your recordings to the next level with the Neumann V 402. General Features: State-of-the-art 2-channel transformerless mic preamplifier 60dB of Gain accomodates all your microphones 2 studio-quality instrument DI inputs with very high impedance Switchable highpass filter removes pops and rumble without signal degradation hi-Z input activation, 48V phantom power, 20dB pad, Polarity invert Highpass filter: 60Hz, 12dB/octave Ultra-clean headphone amplifier with per-channel volume controls Internal power supply (US, EU, and UK IEC mains cables included) Designed and handcrafted in Germany Warning:This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Neumann U 47 FET Collector's Edition Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone ZERO HOUR The U 47 is the first Neumann microphone developed after the Second World War. Instead of reissuing pre-war models, Georg Neumann decided to make a fresh start, since tube technology, in particular, had made enormous progress. This meant that the housing could be designed comparatively compact – by then standards. The electronic polar pattern switching between cardioid and omnidirectional was a complete novelty. It was thus no longer necessary to replace the capsule head, and the capsule could be integrated into the microphone housing. This was the birth of the modern studio microphone.  LARGER THAN LIFE The transducer chosen was the M7 dual diaphragm condenser capsule, which was developed back in the 1930s. This was originally offered as a cardioid option for the “Neumann Bottle” CMV 3. But just how far ahead of its time this sophisticated large diaphragm capsule was, could not be heard until it was used in the U 47, which brought it to full fruition. For in addition to making the polar pattern switchable, the technical perfection of its tube circuitry was also revolutionary. In combination, the result is a magic of sound that is unparalleled: The U 47 adds a noble sheen to voices and instruments that often makes the recorded sound even more beautiful and “larger” than the sound source itself. TECHNICAL PERFECTION What is often overlooked beyond this sonic magic is the underlying technical perfection. Yet it forms the basis for the U 47's ability to captivate us to this day. As early as the late 1940s, the U 47 achieved a signal-to-noise ratio that is beyond reproach even today. An important factor in this was the mythical VF 14 tube. Contrary to common belief, it was not a receiver tube for old “Volksempfänger” radios or even a "surplus military tube”. Quite the opposite: The VF 14, introduced by Telefunken only in 1947, was a comparatively expensive “special request” tube. One of its unique features was an unusually high heater voltage, which made it possible to operate the U 47 with only one voltage, which was used for both the heater and the anode supply. This simplified eventual battery operation and allowed long cable runs without readjusting the heater voltage. The longevity of the VF 14 tube is also legendary, as it has been in service in many U-47s for decades. Telefunken not only manufactured the tube. In the USA and several other countries, the giant corporation also acted as a distributor for Neumann products. In the process, the Neumann badge was replaced by the Telefunken logo, which is why some associate the U 47 with Telefunken. All historic U 47s were developed and manufactured by Neumann. EVOLUTION Over the years, some details were improved. Towards the end of the 1950s, the housing could be shortened by 23 mm to make the U 47 a bit more compact. This is why U 47 connoisseurs talk about “long body” and “short body” versions – apart from cosmetics, both are identical. Around the same time, the basket was changed from polished nickel to satin nickel, which was of advantage, especially for film and TV use, to avoid light reflections. At the End of the 1950s, the M7 capsule was replaced by the K 47. This was a re-engineered version using the same capsule acoustics. A major advantage of the K 47 capsule is the use of time-stable polyester diaphragms instead of the PVC material previously used, which became brittle over the years. Sonically, both capsule variants are very similar. THE MYTH PERSISTS Ultimately, the legend of the U 47 defies any attempt at explanation. Myths surround each of its components: from the M7/K 47 capsule to the VF 14 tube, the BV 08 transformer to the MP capacitors. And yet the U 47 is more than the sum of its parts. It is the perfect interplay of all of its components, as well as the hard work of Neumann engineers, that has made the U 47 a true legend. You must have used and heard the U 47 to understand what makes it so magical.  The U 47 remains the foundation of the Neumann sound to this day. After the VF 14 tube was no longer available, a transistorized successor, the U 47 fet, appeared in 1972. This was followed in 1998 by the M 147, with a similar acoustic design and a newly developed tube circuit.
