TUBE CONDENSER MICROPHONE T-47 User Manual

Important Safety 

Instructions

Terminals marked with this 

symbol carry electrical current 

of sufficient magnitude to 

constitute risk of electric shock. Use only 

high-quality commercially-available speaker 

cables with ¼" TS plugs pre-installed. 

All other installation or modification should 

be performed only by qualified personnel.

This symbol, wherever it 

appears, alerts you to the 

presence of uninsulated 

dangerous voltage inside the enclosure 

- voltage that may be sufficient to constitute 

a risk of shock.

This symbol, wherever it 

appears, alerts you to important 

operating and maintenance 

instructions in the accompanying literature. 

Please read the manual.

Always keep in mind that the 

contained tube is a highly 

sensitive component. 

Avoid impact and other mechanical 

interferences. BEHRINGER assumes no liability 

for any damage caused by the user. 

If possible, keep a spare tube of the same type 

(12AX7) at hand.

The T-47 is extremely sensitive to 

moisture. Both the microphone 

and the PSU-T power supply 

should not be used near water (for example, 

near a bathtub, washing machine, swimming 

pool,etc.). When doing voice recordings, 

always use the enclosed windscreen to 

protect the capsule from moisture.

To reduce the risk of electric 

shock, do not remove the top 

cover (or the rear section). 

No user serviceable parts inside. 

Do not defeat the safety purpose of 

the polarized or grounding-type plug. 

You should only connect the T-47 to the 

provided power supply.

After each use, wipe the 

microphone down with a 

soft cloth and place it back 

into its protective casing (included with 

the microphone). 

Limited Warranty

Please register your new BEHRINGER 

equipment right after your purchase by
