Thanks King! Goosebumps is what I always aim for. I really am loving the sound of this capsule. That high end handles sibilants so well, especially for the kind of close-mic'd stuff I do and it just sounds so big. The "Flat" 47 just blows me away.
Thanks for this Lava thing, i wasn't aware of it. Slate, even though i use it, went over the top with this dynamic part of the emulation. Use one take on two channels with identical VMS model, flip the phase on one, and you can hear all kinds of crazy stuff going on. No way this would happen in analog domain. THD is also through the roof, so you have to be careful with levels.Totally agree, an engineer friend is using a mic with the Flat 47 daily, prefering it over M149. Totally amazing to think that this not simply a 'clone' but has transcended new original K47 capsules in my opinion in almost all aspects, especially build quality. Sound wise comparable to the best selected vintage K47 capsules available. Just look at it, this is build like a Rolls-Royce whereas the original is like a nice Porsche.
Want to build a true U47 clone without VF14?
Flat 47 capsule -> Phaedrus Spirit tube in basic U47 circuit (7-10 components) + Moby BV8 -> Acustica audio Lava using U47->U47 setting.
Will post some demo's soon. The Spirit tube gets you 90% of the U47 sound, already closer than most clones using alternative tubes, but with very close monitoring some will miss 2nd and 3rd harmonic disortion and as measurements in another thread showed some tube microphonics. Lava can model all these effects easily, the Volterra kernels are the best approach for the non-lineair audio effects.
While the Slate VMS and Sphere are quite nice, probably using simple convolution (Sphere) and dynamic convolution (Slate), Acustica audio is really on another level, just try it out. The closer the input sound the better the end result. Even using an U87 as input the U47 model is just mind blowing..try it out!
By the way, you can use the Sphere L22/ UAD DLX/LX using the flat setting as input for Lava with no corrective input EQ needed, essentialy replacing the aging Sphere technology.
Curious what your opinion is on it, when starting with ideal input like Earthworks M30 or Sphere flat curve, I truly cannot distinguish it from my U87.Thanks for this Lava thing, i wasn't aware of it.

My love letter to the Flat K47. This capsule is so impressive!
LOLOL Of course I love the sound of my own voice. I do VO for a living every day. You have to love the sound of your own voice or you're way wicked f-d. Doesn't matter to me if you don't like it. This is a sound that will make $$. That's the single most important consideration for my usage. On my channel, this is a variation of the main VO chain I use on everything, so those who know, get it. What I present in every video is the optimal pro VO sound I can achieve, the mic's full potential. Sorry you didn't like it, but you're obviously not my demographic.Not to disparage the K47, its maker or anyone who likes that sound, but:
A. Somebody really Really REALLY loves his own voice! HA
B. And the proximity effect.
C. How much processing is there before it gets to my laptop on YT? I'm hearing: Hairball Gold > Then into an Apollo > Precision De-esser > Neve 88Rs > Oxford Dyn EQ > CVox > Neve DFC then YT mpwhatever so I have no idea how that mic sounds clean.
I don't think that does Ari justice. Just my $.02.
Just wondering what would we be creating if there never was a U47? Would we have invented a mic that is what we hear in the U47 a gold standard?
Enjoyed the vid review, sounds KILLER! Great to hear real world processed examples of this capsule in useLOLOL Of course I love the sound of my own voice. I do VO for a living every day.

And if you have something to REALLY say, say it to me directly, not addressed to "someone", unless you don't have the stones to do so.
I seem to have stepped in it. Please excuse my ignorance but I didn't know who you are or that you're on this board, Mr. Wordsushi. Not about my stones, I said it.LOLOL Of course I love the sound of my own voice. I do VO for a living every day. You have to love the sound of your own voice or you're way wicked f-d.

Why didn't you say you were a jazz bassist? Jazz bassists get a free pass to talk sh*t about me. Dude, my apologies for getting all snippy on you. Sometimes I take my work/self too seriously that I scare myself. We good.I'd like to know your process for assessing a mic.
Do you have any raw audio of that mic? Mic>pre>adc?
How do you assess the sound in your cans while you talk live? Live or did you record something else and talk about that?
How do you assess sibilants with a de-esser? Or maybe that was someone else who mentioned it?
What's the quality of the youtube vid? AAC mp3 Wave 24/96? I just would like to know what the make up and the delivery pipe's are made up of.
No wind screen. It is de-popped, too?
Sorry but the fidelity on the YT just was not great. Probably YT's fault.
Thanks for hearing me out.
I don't think, and I'm just spitballing here, straight up death cares.I'm a nobody in this field, but I love @Wordsushi videos. "Give the finger to straight up death!"
Well, I don't want to derail the thread, nor do I want to make it all about me, since this should all reflect @soliloqueen's glorious work, but let me answer your questions. My chain and settings are something I put out there. I have videos that detail my chain and why I use the plugs I do.Holy Vox, Batman. Can you hear me now? Thanks for the comradery and education! "We cool."
So it's all in the box except the pop filter. You treat the system as a whole entity, it's not just the mic. I would guess your settings are a trade secret, not that I need to know.
Windoze or Mac?
Thanks for taking the time. Did you do the mic DIY with the K47 capsule? Where did you get the U47 body? I guess for close miking the rear screen can reflect, and work against you as in the 67.
Any national TV commercials I might hear you on?
Thanks,
Geo

edit:
Don't forget the 3u M7. Nice capsule@Wordsushi
Thanks for videos and your contribution to DIY microphones community.
Any chance to you can test flat 47 in tube mic?
I'm in between Arienne and SWT7 for my next tube mic project.
Keep rocking!
Yes, I saw demo of 3U M7.Don't forget the 3u M7. Nice capsule
handicraft2014 on eBay IS guosheng himself so you can comfortably buy fromYes, I saw demo of 3U M7.
Sounds great!
A bit worried about QC from the ones available on eBay, AliExpress, Walmart... and return from EU is not an option.
Unless you have to recommend reliable source?
If buying it directly from 3U the price with import fees and shipping from China comes close to SWT7.
