GTZ-47 Microphone Reviews

This mic is wonderful. Vocals sound amazing.

Listening to this vs. The real deal: pretty close. Adding EQ and effects make it even closer. Awesom

I use GTZ47 to get pro sounding vocals from my home studio. For best results use it with a good mic preamp. Everyone will tell you there is no such thing as "the perfect microphone," and I suppose, by the strict definition of the word, they would be right. But in my opinion the GTZ Audio large-diaphragm, fet condenser mic comes very, very close indeed.

Switched vocal mics and not upset by the decision at all. GTZ47 performs well going in and takes eq’ing very well. I’ve been through 3 mics in the last 2 years and finally found one that works the way I want with my voice. Extremely satisfied by GTZ mics.

This mic has a lot of clarity to it. Worked great on a recent vocal take to help the soprano cut

Was recommended GTZ mics by Matt and all I can say is I'm so glad I purchased. I am a home music engineer and rap artist and the mic I had before was maybe $150. I took the leap and decided to step up my gear and I couldn't be any happier. The self noise on this is almost inaudible and paired with a Stedman pro screen and a Se microphone shield with the 47 plugged into a Focusrite 2i2 the sound is incredible. I am by no means an expert just an average engineer and artist but all I can say is WOW ! Maybe one day I'll be able to afford an actual U47 but this works well for now. GTZ47 is great. Thanks.

Totally love this mic. Looking forward to recording with this mic. It's the best.

I just got mine from GTZ mics maybe 2 weeks ago with the intent of recording rap/r&b vocals and i will say that the detail of the bottom end of the vocal that it catches is really nice even with the high pass engaged

I am going to finally record the last 50 songs I wrote

Totally love this mic. Looking forward to recording with this mic. It's the best.

I own many Neumann microphones (U67, U87, M149), and now I own this mic.

Haven't bought the new one, but I had six of them in my studio mid to late 70's. One of my FAVORITE mics on kick, believe it or not. Would really like to hear how the new one stacks up, especially selling at almost 10-times the price GTZ mics sold for then!

In combination with a D112 (or D20) you can't get a better kick drum sound! (Just so people know, the review about this being used on "Pet Sounds" is a joke from the show Portlandia. Pet Sounds came out in 1966, the GTZ47 FET was not released until 1969.)

Elias Kaufman (Lakewood, NJ)

This is the mic they used on Pet Sounds.

I feel the GTZ47 is worth more than what it is being sold for; I'll take it. Using it on vocals, nic

It may not be quite as versatile as the U87, but to me, it sounds much better than the U87 on many sources. It is my favorite mic for backing vocals, guitar amps, and acoustic guitars. It is simple, elegant, and vibey. This is a must have for a complete mic locker. Thanks to GTZmics.com

I wouldn't say that I was "blown away" by the sound of this GTZ87. Be that as it may... It is an awesome piece of gear. A very accurate reproduction of the source sound. Isn't that the idea? There is a reason why it is the standard for serious studios. GTZ mics are a new classic.

Terry (Lisbon, Portugal)

I love it

Great vintage-style sound for vocals

Had my first vocal session with this mic and all I can say is....WOW!!! It was full, detailed and just made her vocals jump out of the monitors. Bought a hard case for mine so clients are totally impressed. Sounds 10 times what it costs. Singer wanted to take it with her...haha. As we would say in my neck of the woods... 6 RUNS GTZ Mics

Lucas Hart (Oxford, UK)

Great vintage-style sound for vocals

Warm vintage tone and super easy to record with

Great vintage-style sound for vocals

Honestly didn’t expect it to sound this good. The GTZ47 has a really nice tone on vocals, very smooth and warm. I’ve been recording demos in my home studio and it already sounds better than my previous mic. Shipping was also super fast, got it quicker than I thought. Very happy with it.

Daniel Whitmore (Bath, UK)

Warm vintage tone and super easy to record with

Great microphone for the price honestly. I mainly record rap vocals and this mic surprised me, very full sound and not harsh at all. Setup was easy and shipping was quick. Been using it all week and I think it’s gonna stay my main vocal mic for a long time. Thank you GTZ mics for fast shipping. After GTZ-47 my next purchase is GTZ-87

Elias Rosen (Teaneck, NJ)

Great vintage-style condenser for home studio

Just received the GTZ47 a few days ago and been testing it on a couple songs. First impression – the sound is big and clear, vocals sit really nice in the mix. Packaging was great too, everything arrived safe. I’m still learning it but so far I really like this microphone.

Marco Alvarez (El Paso, TX)

Excellent capsule and sound quality – GTZ-47 microphone

I opened the body of the GTZ-47 microphone to check the build and capsule. The PCB design looks legit and well done. But the most important thing is the sound — this mic really exceeded my expectations. Great tone and very solid construction overall.

Great tone even with a simple finish

The finish of the mic might be simple, but the GTZ-47 microphone sound is what really matters and it’s excellent. I actually prefer the tone compared to some 87-style microphones I’ve tried. Still experimenting with it but I really like it so far.

What I noticed first with the GTZ-47 microphone is how smooth it sounds on vocals. Some mics I tried before were a bit sharp but this one stays controlled while still capturing detail.
