BeesNeez Microphones M7 Replacement/DIY Microphone Capsule
The Beesneez M7 microphone capsule is hand made in their Australian factory from the original gun barrel material that Neumann used more then 65 years ago. Until recently this material was not available but lots of research and bulk buying has enabled them to have it re-made. The M7 was made famous in microphones such as the Neumann M49, U47 microphones also the Gefell CMV563 and many others since. The main reason for the popularity of this capsule is its realistic analogy of the source material, its great mathematic proximity producablity and its sultry overtones.
The Beesneez M7 is a sonic match for the original Neumann M7, with one small difference, improved pattern and time/phase relationship. What does this mean in the real world? If you are recording with multiple Beesneez M7 capsules (orchestral etc) the time/phase relationship between all of the microphones is noticeably improved compared to the original. Does this change the sound of the capsule? No, it sounds the same as an original. Does the Beesneez M7 have better pattern response the original M7? Yes.
