Ben right on!!
I can't tell you how many times I have seen dented U87 bodies. The sight just makes me cringe. Finally we have a mic that can endure the industry whip lashes of audio slavery.
And bet this even enhances the tone of the mic. I really happy to have a well built high quality mic. The new body design was a smart move for Bees Neez IMHO.
Ben got a question. On the original U47s, what kind of capacitor were used on that. I know they were branded by Bosch and are hard to find nowdays. Just curious if the originals used PIO, polypropylene. electrolytic ,polytetrafluorethylene (Teflon), etc. I noticed that Wagner, Wunder, or Telefunken USA uses a yellow colored modern capacitor ( maybe a Cornell Dubilier brand, or ERO (german) capacitors but not sure..).
Wagner wouldn't tell me what brand and type he used because wanted it to be a secret... But it seems the three brands mentioned, decided to use a "YELLOW" colored polypropylene type capacitor. Flea47 uses a green PIO as well so I guess they felt what you felt in deciding what type of cap to use... Not to say I don't like the sound of the PIO. I think is smooth as butter. Really like it... My Pearlman had a WIMA..and it was more open in the high end and modern sounding/clean. Just want to why you decided to use the PIO instead of what the other brand U47 clones use.
Thanks for the info.
