Here comes one of the best sounding Tube Mic ever made!
The legendary Sony C37A!
The Sony C-37A is a vintage tube condenser microphone built from 1958 through the 1960s, known for its darker, richer tonality compared to the Neumann microphones made in the same era. The C-37A is particularly useful on female vocalists, where its heavier bottom end can fill out thinner voices or add some lower-octave love to sopranos. The C-37A also has a way of easily taming sibilance and harsh high frequencies with a notable dip around 1kHz and another between 6-8kHz.
The C37A was developed by Sony engineers in the early 1950s; early prototypes were used for symphonic recordings in 1954, and worked so well that the product was put into commercial production in Japan in 1955. The US release was in 1958, at an audio expo in Los Angeles.
Sounds like a different take on U47 and it sounds unbelievable!
It was used on Jimi Hendrix Vocal Recordings
