a bathtub, washing machine, swimming pool,etc.). When doing voice  
recordings, always use the enclosed windscreen to protect the capsule  
from moisture.  
PSU‑T power supply:  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the  
rear section). No user serviceable parts inside.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.  
You should only connect the T-47 to the provided power supply.  
Service and care:  
After each use, wipe the microphone down with a soft cloth and place it  
back into its protective casing (included with the microphone).  
3. Control elements and connections  
3.1 Microphone  
You can tell that the T-47 is switched on when the small window glows  
red.  
There is an XLR connector on the bottom end of the microphone. Connect  
it to the power supply (PSU-T).  
3.2 Power supply  
The included BEHRINGER PSU-T not only provides the supply volt-  
age for the tube preamplifier but also employs a circuit that reduces the  
low frequency response. This is activated on the front panel with the  
LOW CUT switch.

4. Set‑up  
Mounting the microphone  
The microphone comes with an elastic shockmount. The advantage to a  
conventional microphone stand mount is that mechanically induced noise  
is virtually absorbed.  
To mount the microphone, attach the shockmount to the microphone stand  
and, from above, slide the T-47 into the shockmount.  
Caution  
+
The provided shockmount is not intended to be used for sus-  
pending the T‑47!  
Alternatively, you can also mount the T-47 on a microphone stand mount.  
There is a screw adapter on the bottom side of the microphone.  
Warming up  
The T-47 can basically be used a couple of seconds after the PSU-T has  
been switched on. However, the typical sound of the the T-47 only unfolds  
a while after activating the power supply. We recommend allowing the  
microphone to “warm up” 30 minutes before use.  
Level setting / adjusting the basic sound  
Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console  
so that the peak LED lights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ

controls in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position  
to start with; low-cut filter and signal level attenuation should be switched  
off. To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to  
the sound source or even move the microphone around in the recording  
room of your studio. Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound  
source can also be helpful. Only when the desired basic sound has been  
achieved, you should start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any  
at all. Remember: less is often more!  
5. Directivity  
Your T-47 features a capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern and is ideal  
for recording individual instruments, vocals and speech. Cardioid pickup  
pattern means that the sound produced by sources located in front of the  
mic is strongly picked up. It is often used in recording situations, since this  
directivity pattern tones down the pickup of sounds located to the back of  
the microphone.  
To place the microphone correctly, the BEHRINGER logo needs to face the  
sound source being recorded.  
6. Audio connection  
To transmit a preamplified signal (OUTPUT connector on the PSU-T),  
use a balanced microphone cable with the following pin assignment:  
pin 1 = shielding; pin 2 = +; pin 3 = -. Since your PSU-T features gold-plated  
contact points, we recommend that you use only microphone cables with  
gold-plated connectors.
