Peluso 2247 Tube Microphone U47 Clone

This is a Peluso 2247 tube microphone.
I purchased it over ten years ago from a recording specialty store in Tokyo.
It is a genuine domestic product.

I have been the sole owner since then and have kept it carefully in a desiccator.
It has been handled with care, so there are no noticeable scratches.

It comes from a completely smoke-free, pet-free environment and has never been taken out.
Domestic 100v specification.
It was only used occasionally for home recording, so the usage frequency is quite low.

It is famous as a clone of the Neumann U47.
Unlike the LE and SE models, this is the un-marked version that is no longer in circulation.
The body length is shorter.

When I first purchased it, I compared the LE and SE models, and I chose this un-marked version because it had the hottest sound quality and suited modern music.

It has a warm mid-range that is different from the standard U87, giving it a rich tone.

As it is an analog tube microphone, the signal-to-noise ratio is a bit high, and there is a slight self-noise.
This was the case from the time of purchase, so I believe it is part of its specifications.
I would appreciate it if someone who understands this, including this point, would purchase it.

The rubber parts of the suspension have deteriorated, so they have been replaced.
You can purchase replacements directly from the distributor, but they cost several thousand yen for regular rubber.
I have replaced them with homemade white rubber parts (they are quite well-made).
If this is a concern for you, please purchase replacements from the distributor separately.

All accessories from the original purchase are included.
The original box has also been kept, so I will ship it in that.

Currently, equipment prices are soaring, with the LE model exceeding 700,000 yen.
This is equipment I would like to keep, but I am downsizing and letting it go.
I hope someone who needs it will be able to use it.

All functions have been checked before listing, but
perceptions of analog equipment can vary.

With that in mind, I sincerely apologize, but
no claims or returns will be accepted.
I had a very unreasonable buyer in the past, and it left me traumatized...

I would appreciate it if you could understand these points
and make your purchase decision after careful consideration.

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
Thank you very much.
