For the 22 47 SE, I kind of cheated and put in NOS RCA tube, making it a 22 47 LE, in effect. I am fortunate enough to have a small stockpile of these old tubes, and found that the microphone sounds great with either the factory Peluso tube or any number of NOS tubes. The microphone performs fantastically on vocals, acoustic guitar, cello, saxophone, you name it. It has a rich and warm bottom that isn't hyped, and enough detail and character in the top end to completely avoid any unnecessary processing after the fact.

'The 2247SE delivers me clean, warm presence both on vocals and instruments … as well as preserving body and depth … love it !!' -Markus Dravs

The 22 47 LE is the perfect middle ground, warm, pristine high-end, a subtle, pronounced upper-mid, and a well-articulated, usable low-end.

“Got the Peluso P-414 due to a fierce love of the 70s and looking for something to add to my arsenal ... Secret weapon on guitars and wurly."

"My Peluso 2247LE was used to record all of Ben Lee’s vocals and his acoustic guitar. Almost every song was based around a live take of him singing and playing at the same time and the 2247LE was positioned to capture this performance. Have a listen to the album: most songs begin with an intimate vocal and acoustic guitar with no effects. It’s a real showcase for the 22 47 LE microphone! " -Brad Wood

"Peluso mics are hands down some of the best sounding, well built mics in the world. I’m a gear builder myself, and the quality of these microphones astonishes me." -Siegfried Meier

'It is wonderful to have on hand such a fantastic vocal mic, and to have that sense of finding "the one" that can truly highlight the aspects of my voice that I want to share.' -Annabelle Chvostek
