New Behringer tube condensor mic?

danhughes · 07-08-2009, 10:11 PM

Has anyone tried this one yet? Sounds enticing:

Behringer T-47 Tube Condenser Mic Condenser Microphones at Music123.

One source says they were out in April. This one seems to indicate an August release?

Save your money. It's just another cheap Chines mic, with a circuit modified enough to call it their own, but not good
enough cut the mustard.

From the description:
"At the heart of each of these Behringer T-47 mics is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube..."
So... does that mean some exploited chinese kid reached down and "hand selected" a tube from the big box of tubes? The same way I like to "hand select" each Cool Ranch Doritos chip I munch on?

Woould those be NOS Cool Ranch Doritos chips?

NOS Doritos are the ones that slip down between the cushions and found a week later.

We don't do NOS.
