Equinox Systems U47 Body and Binder Connector - DIY U47

[Mystic Steamship Co.]

I bought two of these and waited FOREVER to get them. I have a small tracking room and really don't see the need to have 2 u47's right now, so I am selling one of the bodies and going to build a U67 type mic instead. These are exact replicas of the U47 head basket. You can find more info at

This is just the body and binder connectors.

Build this

and add one of these

And you'll have yourself a seriously good u47esque mic for about a grand.

These bodies are not available to purchase right now from equinox.

I paid $200 for the body and $30 or so for the connectors plus shipping.

I will let it go for $200 shipped.

also... I have the PCB for the power supply laying around somewhere that I will throw in, assuming I can find it. Tube mics are easy to build, especially with a kit or even hand wired. You could build the exact U47 circuit with a EF14 tube and a PVC M7 from thiersch for very reasonable money compared to similar mics such as the wunder audio CM7. BV8 transformer recreations are readily available.

Strongly considering keeping it...if I don't get any interest in the next few days I'll probably take this down.
