L47MP Testimonials "This microphone makes recordings sound REAL! It made recording
fun again." "An amazing microphone. From the moment I put a vocal through
the L47 I was blown away! +The company was a joy to do business
with. Thank you!" "What a beautifully crafted, wonderful musical instrument.
This is the way products should be made and companies should be
run. Thank you!" "My first thought on hearing the L47MP was 'WOW.' My second
thought was 'Damn! I need two!" "My L47MP arrives in its Pelican case right on time." "The clarity of vocals through the L47 is remarkable. An amazing
microphone!" "This mic can't be beat!" "I am absolutely blown away. Never in my life have I heard
such a warm, pristine sounding microphone. It puts all of my other
mics to shame. I never thought I would ever say, but now I will>>THIS
MIC IS PERFECT." "We couldn't be happier with the service we received and most
importantly the quality of the microphone. Thanks Gene and Gayle!" "Sounds as golden as it looks. Thank you Lawson family." "So far the L47 has won every AB comparison we've tried--including
a U47. Brilliant mic!" "Simply put: Your microphone, the Lawson L47MP, is world class
in every way and stands heads above anything I have tried in its
price range and then some. From the amazing 47ish sound, to its
build quality, to the friendly unhurried customer service you provide,
to the amazing sound (needed to say that one twice). There is much
'microphone lore' out there--This mic absolutely delivers the goods
at a bargain price. My experience with Lawson Microphones is one
of the best I have had in a long time." "Great mic!!!" "Hey Gene! This mic is truly a work of art. I'm blown away
by the sound of everything you put in front of it. Thanks for the
magic." "Awesome vocal mic!! The L47's rich lows also capture double
bass and drums beautifully. I find the L47MP MKII to be versatile
and very musical. It was a pleasure and great learning experience
visiting with you and Gayle. Until next time." "This mic has been everything I wanted and more!! Its flexibility
is amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on the L251." "Gene, this mic is silky and delicious sounding. Everytime
I put it up I am amazed and satisfied. Those big companies can keep
their cheap condensers. I'm digging on the real thing." "Outstanding value and the best service anywhere! Thank you!
I recommend this mic to everyone." "Fantastic mic! This mic has brought my vox tracks to a whole
new level. Brilliant on acoustic guitars as well. I've also gotten
some very pleasing results on stand up piano! Awesome tool . . .
Thanks!" "The decision process to spend money on a high quality microphone
was difficult until we tried out a Lawson L47MP. Crystal clarity
and a warm sound. Who says you can't buy a high quality mic for
under 4 grand!" "Received in excellent condition. Put it to work in session
that evening. It's the only mic I'll use on vocals. Comments include
'transparent,' 'you hear exactly what you think.'" "The sound quality continues to amaze me to this day. I use
this mic for everything and love the built-in EQ by varying the
polar pattern. Changeable head/capsules makes this mic my best value!" "Fantastic mic!!! Best sound on vocals I've ever gotten. Thanks!!" "By far the most beautiful looking microphone I've seen. By
appearance alone, it makes you eager to record with it. The exceptional
sound quality is the added, ultimate payoff!" "Never has one piece of equipment changed an entire process
so quickly. Recording instruments and voice is so less labor intensive;
everything sounds lovely." "The L47MP is not only my favorite vocal microphone it is
also my favorite piece of recording gear. I'm always auditioning
new gear and have compared the L47MP to a lot of other mics including
Soundelux and Neumann. I'll have to say that nothing gives a voice
the magic that your mic does. I'm very content that there is just
no mic out there as good as the L47MP. Now how about a Lawson mic
preamp." "Ten days to decide if you want to keep it; ten seconds to
decide you need another one." "The L47MP far exceeded my exceedingly high expectations!
Love the versatility of multi multi multi pattern feature." "Very big, warm sound. Really stands out in a mix without
compression or EQ--Pure Magic!!" "The Lawson L47MP sends all mic manufacturers back to the
drawing board." "I'm not happy; I'm ecstatic!! I love it--and so do my clients.
So far I've secured two voiceover jobs with this mic . . . demos
improved 100%!" "Exceptional quality mic that meets or exceeds standards set
by other brand microphones that cost twice as much." "WOW, just WOW! Makes my C414 and my Blueberry sound like
toy microphones. Thanks, Gene, for helping me find the MAGIC." "Stunning--looking and sounding." "Everything recorded on the L47MP sits beautifully in the
mix without having to EQ. Great, clean, smooth sound. Blew away
everything I heard at AES (including Neumann 149)." "It took a few minutes after hearing this microphone to pick
my jaw up off the floor. I must say it has far exceeded my expectations.
It would have been a bargain at twice the price. Thank you so much." "Accurate, without sounding clinical or sterile. Better midrange
detail than U47 (old tube type)." "Tried it. Sounds like magic! It even made my voice
sound good!" "This is a phenomenal and very versatile microphone, which
holds its own with every other mic in my cabinet. It fits right
in with mics 2 to 3 times its value. On the drum kit, piano, guitar
amp, vocals--it never was disappointing. A nice bottom without being
tubby. I also love the fact that the capsule is actually made in
the USA and covered by a great warranty! I'm sure this adds to the
consistency between mics." "Have only tried the L47MP once so far but have loved the
tone we got on tenor sax. Very satisfied. Tremendous value. Selling
direct is great. Keeps the price point low." "I haven't even heard the mic yet, but I am overwhelmed by
the personal integrity erupting from every aspect of the package
I received in the mail. It was Christmas and I was an excited 8
year old! Your product represents the alternative to disposable
mass-market consumerism. Amen." "A truly magnificent microphone! My Neumanns are spending
most of their time in their cases these days . . ." "This mic is outstanding! I bought this mic just from word
of mouth. No wonder the Beatles stuff sounds so good, and anybody
else that used a U47. This thing sounds just like it! Thanks! Thanks!
Thanks!" "Our studio has several top notch Neumann tube mics, as well
as many other choices of tube and ribbon microphones. Consistently,
for electric guitar amps, the L47 is the favorite for most of the
rock bands being recorded here. It has also served incredibly well
for bass drum, vocals and any acoustic instruments. It is a great
deal financially, and very durable. It handles the SPL of 50 and
100 watt Marshall amps with great character. A very 'do it to you
in your eardrums sound'! Thanks, Gene, for being true to fine craft." "I have eight Lawson mikes and they are my first choice for
vocals, overheads, saxes, acoustic guitar, and piano. Also, the
short body FET is our favorite kick drum mike. Can't say enough
about the high quality of Gene Lawson's products." "If you want it back you'll have to come to Norway! The pattern
selector knob works great! At 11 o'clock my vocals sound warm and
fat. At 2 o'clock my guitars are nice and bright. YES!" "Amazing mic, really warm. It sounds great on male and female
vocals. This is a plug it and hit record. It blew away mics twice
the price when I brought it to the studio on the last album I worked
on. Thanks! Now I have to order the L251." "Beautiful. Thank you for making classic sound affordable!" "It's refreshing to deal with a company that not only offers
a superior product, but has the competent support to back it up.
We couldn't be more pleased with our purchase." "I heard the L47MP in a session last year. The studio was
full of vintage mics, but the owner suggested I try the Lawson.
I couldn't believe the sound and the price; so I bought my own." "There is no better value in microphones today. This was the
missing link at Ambient House." "This microphone sounds beautiful! The clarity, warmth, depth,
and brightness is outstanding. This is now my favorite vocal mic.
This mic sounds as good if not better than tube mics costing twice
as much." "I used the L47MP throughout my debut album for lead vocals
and background vocals. The microphone made the vocals thick and
warm. Perfect vintage." "Great open sound. As a singer, it makes me want to sing better
than I can!! Can't wait to get a 2nd one! Great on electric guitar
as well." "Crystal clear vocals, warm fuzzy piano, very musical!" "I am ecstatic at the sound quality of the L47MP! It has been
a wonderful addition to my studio. The continuously variable pattern
provides excellent flexibility . . . a great value. Thank you!" "Neumann, AKG, eat your heart out!!!" "My clients love the way the mic looks even before they hear
the great sound it delivers. Also, my wife, finally after years
said that she actually liked something I bought!" "Rich, full, great low end extension." "Since receiving this mic, other mics in my collection aren't
seeing as much action. I've used it on everything--vocals, acoustic
guitar, electric guitar-- and I love the results. Thanks for making
such a great product." "Thanks for offering the sound of a legend at a fraction of
the price." "This is a remarkable product with great versatile patterns.
We just used it on a brand new anthem for Kosovo refugees and it
was stellar! Thanks." "A beautifully crafted, quality tool that sounded great when
compared to mega-dollar modified Teutonic classics. Thanks for your
commitment to produce a modern classic, Gene!" "In an A/B test with the L47MP up against three great sounding
Telefunken U47's, a C12, C12VR, and an M49, the L47MP held its own
and had us all in amazement. In my opinion the Lawson is clearly
the best mic for the money. I certainly never expected this mic
to sound sooooo good on so many things (vocals, drums, percussion,
overheads, horns). One peek inside the mic (taking things apart
is what us curious folks do) revealed to me what build quality should
be. From the huge MIT cap, the Jensen transformer, to the ingenious
use of a D-sub connector for the capsule body, my hat is off to
Gene Lawson. He has brought that vintage mic sound to the masses
with quality as good as any well built German mic. I highly recommend
the L47 to anyone looking to buy a premier vocal/instrument mic.
One listen and you'll be hooked. I was!" "Used the L47MP yesterday to do a PBS shoot for the band Solas
live from Flynn Theater, Burlington, UT. Unanimously acclaimed best
sounding mic ever! Vocals were brilliant." "This is the smoothest and most vibrant sounding mic I've
ever had the pleasure to use. An associate of mine has a pair of
U47's. We A/B'd them to the Lawson mike; he didn't want to admit
it and I was reluctant to say it, but the Lawson absolutely smoked
the Neumanns. Brighter, quicker, and more alive. My compliments
to the chef." "Got it Friday morning. Friday night, put it on a Marshall
cabinet for some righteous crunch guitar. I can hardly wait to try
it on vocals!" "The L47MP has the warm vibrant clarity reminiscent of classic
recordings such RUBBER SOUL (Beatles) at an affordable price." "My recent upgrade to the L47MP has made one of the most appreciable
differences my studio has seen in years. No other piece of gear
at this price range could have increased my overall sound quality
by such a quantum leap. The vocals shine, the guitars shimmer, and
the multiple patterns let me control room ambience with stunning
accuracy. Great job!" "Compare and WOW!" "Microphone's protective case is of sturdy elements. From
taking them out of the shipping box, I saw the start of quality,
then listening was just wonderful--clarity, warmth--the diction
came out more audibly with roundness." "Easily the smartest mic investment the project or pro recordist
can make. A superb instrument." "Thanks!" "Great!" "An absolutely amazing microphone!" "I waited over six months for the L47MP . . . I would have
waited a year; it's that good." "Makes a great 'first impression.' Then when they hear it,
they're really excited. Vocals cut through heavy mixes without harshness--really
smooth. Huge electric guitars. Good room mic--very balanced. Everything
seems to be of very high quality." "Thanks, Gene, for helping to take the AntFarm Studio to a
new level. We auditioned many microphones (a few were high cost
German mics) before we settled on the L47MP tube microphone. The
L47MP has only been in use here for about one month, but has excelled
on male and female vocals, percussion, acoustic guitars, a drum
room mic, etc. . . . A prominent producer from Nashville, while
here at AntFarm, commented that the L47MP sounded better than the
U47 that he had just paid over $5,000 for!! I can't wait to get
a second one!!!!" "Thumbs up! The L47 Gold Tube Mic and the TLM 170 are my two
favorite mics. The L47 was used on vocals for the Blessid Union
of Souls album'Home' (EMI Records) which included the number one
hit 'I Believe' Blessid Union loved the mic so much that they insisted
it be featured in their 'Let Me Be the One' video." "The L47 is an extremely versatile mic, especially in our
situation where you might have several different vocalists in a
limited amount of time. You need a mic that will handle powerful
vocals, keep the warmth and clarity of the voice, and quiet enough
to allow you to bump the gain to catch the subtle nuances of the
soft, sweet vocals. The Lawson mic has made our job much easier
and quicker getting the sounds we need when we need them." "The L47 A.B.s with a U47 like you won't believe!" "Incredible mic for female vocals--clean, full sound without
being overly bright and handles a lot of SPL without overload. It
beat my AKG C12VR in the richness of sound. I can't wait to get
another one and try it in a stereo distant pickup situation." "Gene, great job. This mic is now one of my favorites, often
first call from my collection of over 40 different mics. It never
sounds bad and is just magic in some applications." "It didn't take long to realize that I'm going to need another
one of these!! Looks and sounds fabulous on everything. I am running
it through a Manley Voxbox. It must be heard to be believed." "Worth every anxious moment I waited. The best value of any
musical piece I've ever bought. It's like having several mics in
one and so many applications to boot! Tell everyone there what an
excellent job they do and thanks Mr. Lawson for a masterpiece." "Only used for lead vocals so far. But I am very happy with
the character and response. 10:30 seems to be the magic spot on
the dial. One artist I work with likes it better than any mic ever--and
she's tried them all. Thanx!" "Very detailed. Huge sound. I am very pleased. The quality
of construction is excellent. Sounds wonderful on acoustic instruments
and male as well as female vocals. A must for every mic locker." "Gorgeous in appearance and sound." "Our studio needed a tube mic but out budget was limited.
The L47 is a great investment towards a tube mic." "Great for vocals!" "The best 'new' tube mic I've heard, and add to that the great
price, you can't beat it." "This mic is so bright it makes my 414 sound muffled." "I think the L47MP is a tremendous bargain. I did a comparison
with a U67 and didn't hear a significant difference. Definitely
not even close to a few thousand dollars difference!" "Very big yet open sound--much more versatile than our U87
or AKG 'The Tube.' Good for vocals, violin, harmonica, steel string
guitar. So pleasant to listen to--no harshness at all!" "The L47 hangs right in there with all of our expensive vintage
mics. For the price, there is no better value." "The Lawson L47MP blew away all other tube mics in its price
range and held its own with the most expensive ones we compared
it with. It held up recording even the toughest sound fx! Thanks,
Gene." "Everybody who uses the L47MP loves this mic!" "I used the L47MP for the first time...I can't believe the
difference it made on an acoustic guitar!! Everyone in the band
agreed...It was the best that guitar ever sounded!!! Vocals are
also amazing!!! Looking forward to my next Lawson mic." "Wonderful! Great transparency. Not only a great vocal mic,
but wonderfully suited to acoustic instruments. Reminds me of the
old 251 mic." "Wonderfully warm...transparent...I wouldn't use anything
else for acoustical instruments...great for vocals!" "SMOOOOOOTH!" "The first day we had the L47MP in the studio we were able
to use it on a female vocalist and everyone agreed that it added
a 'roundness' to the vocal that we had been searching for. It looks
snazzy too." "Superb sound!!!" "Great sound and a great price." "Absolutely outstanding. Smooth, rich, and completely natural
sounding. My vocals sound exactly like I've always pictured them
but could never obtain before the L47MP. Wow! Thank you." "Love the mike. It's doing a fantastic job on my fiddle and
mando, or whatever I choose to put it on." "The clarity is what I love about the L47. From vocals to
drums to every instrument in between...it's too good not to use
on everything." "It was love at first sound! I was looking for a bright, fat
sound that would have gentle sibilant qualities, and the L47 is
unbelievable! It's also gorgeous. You rule, dude!" "I will never use another microphone other than the L47 on
my guitar." "There is no other mic in this $ range that I have used that
compares to this mic, in any way. What a superb piece of craftsmanship.
Thank you, Gene Lawson!" "What a great sounding microphone, my voice finally sounds
just like I've always wanted it to sound. Thanks." "The best thing about Lawson products is the wonderful people.
It's very refreshing to know you can pick up the phone and get a
person who cares." "Beautiful! Looks and sound. I'm looking forward to many musical
sessions with it." "Won't be putting it into use for a few months, but so far
I'm mightily impressed with the way you do business. Love your mission--love
your methods. I will put it to good use." "I've been using the L47MP mainly on vocals and horns. The
sound is full, warm, and detailed. I love this mic. Thanks for a
wonderful product and superior service." "Beautiful detail on subtle sources. thanks so much for the
wonderful mic." "Beautiful sounding, versatile and classic in every sense.
Best money we've spent on a high end mic." "Sounds every bit as good as the old U47. Great warmth and
clarity." "Brilliant." "This is one great mic . . . It is warm, detailed. Well rounded.
It works to capture everything flawlessly and then enhances the
sound in a way that compliments the source. Thanks, Gene." "Sounded beautiful on a Guild F50R I've recorded recently.
Really reached out and grabbed its full tone. The variable pattern
allowed me to draw out the right balance of overtones and room sound.
Can't wait to use it on the next project!" "Sounds incredible! Much more detail and warmth than my U87." "You guys are an absolute pleasure to deal with. I haven't
even heard the mic, but your customer service is wonderful. Gayle
was great. Thanks." "Wonderful sound and exquisite quality! One step closer to
Dr. Fred's collection." "Thicker and warmer than my U87 without the boominess. Nothing
at this price even comes close. This is a world class mic for the
price of a project mic." "Everything I hoped it would be . . . My voice work has entered
a new era . . . I'm a happy camper." |
