BeesNeez Arabella

BeesNeez Arabella is Beesneez's own design inspired by the Neumann U47/M49 family: a K47 capsule, a Russian 6ZH8 tube and a 6.5:1 toroidal transformer, with nine patterns instead of the two on the original U47.

U47/M49 character, nine patterns instead of two

The original U47 offered only cardioid and omni; the M49, meanwhile, varied its pattern continuously via remote control from the power supply. Arabella takes a third path: nine switchable patterns on the same dual-diaphragm K47 capsule, giving a wide range of characteristics without giving up the warmth and larger-than-life quality of the classic tube Neumanns.
