Joe Meek TP47 ThreeQ and JM47 Mic Bundle

JOEMEEK TP47 Details ^top

The Joemeek threeQ is like having one channel of a professional recording studio in a small box. It takes a microphone or instrument, amplifies it, compresses and equalizes it ready to be recorded. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the threeQ will bring out the best in any microphone or instrument and give the gloss of a professional studio production to all your performances. As well as recording it will also be found useful for live work.

The JM47 is a very high quality true capacitor microphone with FET impedance converter and transformer output. (NOTE, this is NOT an electret microphone).

The capacitor element is manufactured to the classic ‘centre electrode' design which provides smooth extended frequency response without low frequency boominess. Quality is further enhanced by using dynamic feedback actually at the capacitor element. This original technique eliminates distortions which can occur when using this type of microphone for high volume levels.

The capacitor membrane is microfine ‘mylar' with gold sputtering, voltage polarised by phantom power.

The microphone body is made of brass with double screening of the transformer. Connection is via screened balanced audio cable with 3 pin XLR connectors.
