Excerpt from
Ten Mics I Swear By
by Myles Boisen, Electronic Musician, April 1999

Lawson L47MP large-diaphragm, multiple-pattern tube condenser. This mic is my first choice for any vocal, reed instrument, electric guitar, or organ overdub, and for any source that would benefit from the thick low mids, creamy highs, and richness that only a tube mic can deliver. The continuously variable pattern control (located on the power supply) is fun to use and gives amazingly varied results (which may delight or confound you). Furthermore, vocalists always seem to give 110 percent when you put this "golden Goliath" in front of them. I'm constantly raving about the L47MP online, as are dozens of other satisfied customers.
