Product Description
The Golden Age Project Premier GA-47 MKII is a handwired, large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed to capture the timeless character and warmth of classic recordings. Inspired by the legendary Neumann U-47, the GA-47 MKII blends vintage charm with modern recording demands. Each microphone is meticulously handmade in small batches, ensuring precision and attention to detail. The dual-sided capsule provides both cardioid and omnidirectional patterns, delivering versatility for vocals, instruments, and full-range studio applications. Equipped with a selected NOS Telefunken EF-800 tube and a specially designed 6.5:1 dual bobbin transformer, the GA-47 MKII offers a sweet, open sound with low noise and minimal distortion. Premium components, including Ciarit MKP capacitors, MIAL polystyrene film capacitors, and Allen Bradley resistors, are used throughout the signal path to maintain clarity and tonal richness. Point-to-point wiring on a Rogers circuit board, Teflon-insulated silver-plated copper cabling, and gold-plated connectors ensure uncompromising performance. The microphone is complemented by a vintage-style power supply and supplied in a solid wooden box with a robust metal flight case, making it a true boutique solution for professional studios.

Timeless Vintage Sound:

Its tube circuitry and carefully designed transformer replicate the vintage tonal qualities, producing a rich, full-bodied sound.

Each unit is tested extensively, ensuring the sonic character remains consistent across batches while retaining the musicality that made the original U-47 legendary.
Exceptional Build Quality:
