It’s a microphone that is over sixty years old and yet it is still the “go-to” condenser microphone for many high budget, large-scale recording studios. At BeesNeez, they don’t like to make gains from the glory of others, so they decided with their Tribute 1 condenser microphone to make it sonically equal to the U47, but BeesNeez gave it more features, stronger build and lower noise. CIRCUIT DESIGN The transformer in the Tribute 1 is the BeesNeez BV-08, made to the original factory specifications of the Neumann BV-08. The UI30/25 lamination size was specifically developed for use only in audio applications. Due to the quantity needed this lamination can be very difficult to have made. The audio grade lamination material BeesNeez are using have been specifically made for this application, to ensure consistency and quality. BeesNeez also seal the windings and laminations to prevent any acoustic resonance. The capsule in the Tribute 1 is the BeesNeez M7 microphone capsule, which is hand made in their Australian factory from the original gun barrel material that Neumann used more than 65 years ago. Until recently, this material was not available. However, lots of research and bulk buying has enabled us to have it re-made. The M7 was made famous in microphones such as the Neumann M49 and U47, the Gefell CMV563, and many others since. The main reason for the popularity of this capsule is its realistic analogy of the source material, its great mathematic proximity and its sultry overtones. SONIC CHARACTERISTICS What made the U47 so special? It had the ability to bring out the special source nuance of everything it captured. No single component in the U47 was anything super special or previously unused, however the magical combination, or the sum of all of its parts, truly made it an amazing tool of the trade. The T1 feels like a hot knife through butter, effortlessly bringing out the best of any captured source. BUILD QUALITY Whereas most manufacturers cannot control all aspects of their manufacture, BeesNeez can. They manufacture the head grilles, bodies, bases, capsules, diaphragms, transformers, etc. The Tribute 1 body tube is turned from a food grade bore brass casing. BeesNeez chose this particular type of brass due to its superior machine ability and durability. After machining the body, it is sent to a local powder coater for completion. The head grille is cut from bronze cast and machined to a mirror finish. The mesh windows are then removed during the same process before the head grille is sent off for medical-grade nickel plating. The base is made from 380 grade brass. It’s a solid brass round that they cut and form in BeesNeez very own 8-axis turning center. The BeesNeez proprietary swivel mount connector features a gold-pinned Bakelite socket. BeesNeez pins are turned rather than pressed. The advantage here is a lifetime of connection without degradation.
