Peluso 22 47 vs. P12

andrewj · 21st November 2006

Hi,

I know these mics are modelled after two totally different mics, but I wonder which of both would you buy for RnB, Blues vocals and acoustic guitars? They will probably both do a great job, but what is the sonical difference and what gives me the more bottomed tone with softer high freqs?

Please help,

Andrewj

For those applications and the sound you described you'd want the 22 47LE. It's got a big bottom end and a nice round tone to it (like the original U47). The P12 has a bit more to the high end, not as much on the low end (still a wonderful sound), and is a bit more forward in the mids for a punchier sound (like the original C12).

Either way you go you'll be happy, but if you want the biggest bottom end the 22 47LE is what you are after.
