The Peluso Community
Our community of artists, engineers, studios and friends have been busy putting our microphones through their paces. We are proud of all the great work they have done with Peluso microphones. Take some time to explore their stories!

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.

"I’ve for years been specifically requesting and tracking down vintage 414eb’s when building out mic packages and when I finally discovered the Peluso P-414 it was too good to be true. Peluso nailed the classic sound while also boasting an incredible build quality, a true workhorse that’s extremely road worthy." - Tanner Kinney. Tanner also works on tour as Beyoncé as Vocal Effects Engineer. He uses his P-414 for FOH capture at these shows!

The P-414, P-67 and 22 47 SE are amazing

"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! "

People always ask me what mic I use as the sound is almost unbeatable! I honestly don't know what I would do without it!!

'Crunchy. Soft. Abrasive. Silky. Rough. Smooth. Whatever the intention, the P-12 delivers. I was looking for a workhorse. A microphone to capture the nuances of a male bass and an angelic female soprano alike. A microphone to glue the drum sounds together in a room while also maintaining frequency identities. A microphone to color tracks in the spectrum of the past while also bathing the sound in a new myriad. The P-12 is that microphone. I was hoping that the beautiful custom packaging and Peluso's attention to detail in service would be equalled in their product. My hope became a reality after discovering the unlimited potential of the P-12. If you're looking for transparency with a splash of color, I would say this is your microphone.'

"The Peluso 22 47 LE is a great sounding microphone. I tried one and bought two. What more can I say? An outstanding achievement!"

David Arnold
'Peluso microphones were the ONLY microphones used on the John Hartford “Memories of John” live recordings. They were extremely essential to obtain the pure and natural sound of the stringband.'
Gene Elders
"Just finished my first session with the P-28. I am hooked, big time. That's far and away the best mic my fiddle has ever met. Brought the fader up and it took the engineer about 60 seconds to tell me he wanted one, too."
♦ We are still in the process of rebuilding our community pages. As we reach out to our friends we are looking to update these pages with their recent accomplishments. If you are a Peluso microphone user we'd love to include you here too, Some of our existing members have been using their Peluso mics for quite some time, check back soon as we continue to update their profiles. ♦
