Having a home project studio on a budget, I scour magazine and on-line reviews thoroughly before plunking down my hard-earned coin on new gear purchases.
I have never for an instant regretted the purchase of the 4047MP.
With the multi-pattern capability of this mic, a pair was purchased for M/S recording, but single mic recordings have been a true pleasure with this mic as well.
With the 4047MP, I've recorded vocals, flutes, fiddles, acoustic guitar, accordion and have used the pair as overheads for drums.
What continually amazes me about this mic is it's ability to handle dynamics - all the while producing the silkiest high end.
From very soft (with low mic noise) to very loud (with no distortion), this mic sounds wonderful!
And the smooth top end requires no corrective EQ'ing like with other condenser mics.
If you have other FET's in your collection, even the "very expensive" variety, then you owe it to yourself to listen to the 4047MP.
If you don't have a quality FET in your mic locker yet, then the 4047MP is the one!
Pros Vocals, Voiceover/Dialog, Woodwinds, Strings, Guitar, Drums, "reedy" accordion
