Tribute 1

(1 customer review)

The Beesneez Pro Audio Tribute 1 is a large diaphragm tube condenser microphone. Although the Tribute 1 is an original microphone it embodies the soul of one of the most revered microphones in recording history: the original Neumann U47. Designed and built entirely in-house by Beesneez in Australia, the Tribute 1 U47 style microphone that offers engineers, producers, and artists the opportunity to experience the unmistakable presence, depth, and authority of the U47—without compromise.

At the core of the Tribute 1 is Beesneez M7 capsule, true to the dimensions and sonic signature of the original PVC design. Paired with a carefully selected vacuum tube and a custom-wound transformer, the Tribute 1 captures source material with stunning dimensionality, warmth, and natural compression that feels “finished” right at the source.

From commanding lead vocals to orchestral instruments, acoustic guitar, and broadcast voice work, the Tribute 1 delivers recordings that are rich, powerful, and full of character. It’s not just a microphone — it’s an heirloom piece of studio artistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

The BeesNeez BU47 and BeesNeez Tribute 1 are both premium tube condenser microphones inspired by the classic U47 sound, but they are aimed at slightly different users.

The BU47 is the more historically faithful model. It is a part-for-part recreation of the classic U47 design, including the capsule/head unit approach, connector style, BV08 transformer and EF-series tube. It is available with either an M7 or K47-style capsule, giving users a choice between a smoother, sweeter midrange character or a fuller low-mid/bottom-end response. In standard form it follows the original U47-style cardioid/omni pattern layout, with optional remote pattern control available.

The Tribute 1 is more of a BeesNeez interpretation of the U47 sound rather than a strict recreation. It uses the BeesNeez M7 capsule, BV08 transformer and EF13 tube, but is designed with broader modern studio versatility in mind, including 9 selectable polar patterns as standard. It delivers the same rich, authoritative, warm 47-style tone, but with a more flexible feature set and an original BeesNeez build concept.

In short: the BU47 is the choice for those wanting the closest classic U47-style recreation with capsule options, while the Tribute 1 is the more versatile BeesNeez-designed U47-inspired microphone with expanded pattern control and a modern feature set.

1 review for Tribute 1

  1. BC –

    A review 4 years in the making.

    I talked to Ben in July of 2020 when BeesNeez got on my radar. After a great chat, he sent me a pair of Lulu FET’s and a T1. The T1 is my first and so far only Tube mic and it’s been a wonderful journey getting to know how to harness such a beast.

    Tonally, this mic is bold and beautiful. Very pleasing low/low mid glow with a forward and sparkling mid range. This has been my de-facto vocal mic since I got it. I’ve even tracked two singers on either side of the mic using figure-8 and it sounds near finished. No need to run preamps hot to get added harmonics because this microphone delivers it in spades. In fact, you may like using this mic with a clean preamp because it’s got so much color and mojo. If you’re used to transformerless/transparent microphone designs, the T1 will smack you in the face. The Beesneez T1 is a rich and classy sounding microphone that I can’t see myself selling. Oh, and it’s built like a WW2 submarine.

    The true testament to how amazing this microphone is comes during mix down. When singers record through the T1 and some compression on the way in, getting it to sit in the mix is an absolute breeze. I’m using less EQ, saturation and de-essing. It’s just a killer microphone.

    The T1 has also been put to work on drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and Omni room capture. The mids on this mic just speak incredibly well on playback. Positioned correctly, the T1 will also deliver you a fat and classic drum overhead sound.

    Well done Ben, I’m sold.
