GAUGE ECM-47 Classic Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone

A versatile and high-performing addition to any professional recording setup, the GAUGE ECM-47 Classic Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone is expertly designed to capture superior audio quality across a range of applications. Ideal for recording vocals, guitars, pianos, drum overheads, and all acoustic instruments, this microphone is a reliable choice for both studio and broadcast environments.

The ECM-47 is engineered with a 6072 tube and a 6.5:1 dual bobbin transformer, delivering a clean, warm sound that is further enhanced by a carefully contoured presence peak. This microphone is equipped with vacuum tube electronics and a gold-sputtered, ultra-light diaphragm in an advanced capsule design, ensuring high-quality sound capture.

Each GAUGE ECM-47 microphone package comes complete with a hardwood case, shock mount, power supply, and briefcase. Additionally, it includes a high-quality pop-screen and a precision-made, flexible shock mount designed to minimize the impact of floor vibrations on the microphone. The package also includes a proprietary power supply and cable for the ECM-47.

When recording vocals at close range, the included GAUGE Pop Screen can be placed between the singer and the microphone to reduce or eliminate plosives caused by fast-moving air on the microphone diaphragm.

The GAUGE ECM-47 features a pickup pattern control switch located on the front of the power supply, allowing for full adjustability through nine pickup patterns, ranging from Omni-directional to Cardioid to Figure-of-Eight. This flexibility makes the ECM-47 an adaptable tool for capturing sound from various sources and in different environments.

The Cardioid pickup pattern is perfect for recording musical instruments, vocals, and speech, offering a measure of rejection to sounds approaching the microphone from the rear and sides. The Hyper-Cardioid pattern provides a narrower pickup, greatly reducing sound from the sides and rear. The Omni-directional pattern captures sound equally from all directions, ideal for capturing room acoustics or performances involving multiple musicians. Lastly, the Figure-of-Eight pattern captures sound equally from both the front and rear of the microphone, making it a great choice for stereo recording applications and situations requiring a high degree of rejection of off-axis sounds.

In summary, the GAUGE ECM-47 Classic Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone is a versatile, high-quality, and adaptable microphone designed to meet the demands of professional recording environments.
