Neumann KK47 capsule and Capsule Holder reskinned by Thiersch

The Neumann KK47 is the capsule used in later versions of the Neumann U47 and Neumann U48, replacing the original M7 capsule in the mid-1950s. It was later adapted into the K47/K49 capsules used in microphones like the Neumann M49 and modern U47-style recreations.

It offers a smoother and more consistent response compared to the often more resonant and slightly brighter M7.

This capsule can be found in:

Neumann U47 and M49 later models, Neumann U47 FET and many modern U47 recreations.
