Vintage Tone, Modern Performance — In a Compact, California-Built Condenser
The Roswell Pro Audio Mini K47 is the original compact K47-style condenser microphone, delivering the warm, balanced vibe of a vintage large-diaphragm classic with the reliability and precision of modern engineering. Designed, assembled, and tested in California, every Mini K47 brings true 34mm K47 capsule tone, handpicked NOS components, and Roswell’s famously rigorous testing process—all in stock and ready to ship.
What Makes the Mini K47 Special
The Mini K47 captures the unmistakable character of vintage studio legends while staying clean, quiet, and flexible enough for today’s workflows. Its K47 capsule delivers full lows, smooth mids, and a natural top end—without the hyped brightness found in many modern condensers. Expect less sibilance, less string jangle, and more body, tone, and musicality.
A transformerless, ultra-clean circuit lets that capsule shine without coloration, backed by carefully selected NOS audiophile-grade components. Self-noise, distortion, and SPL handling exceed expectations in its class, making the Mini K47 equally at home on vocals, guitars, drums, piano, and more.
Hand-Built Precision & Quality Control
Every Mini K47 undergoes Roswell’s full 24-hour burn-in on their conditioning fixture, followed by exhaustive testing for noise, frequency response, sensitivity, polarity, and overall performance. Each mic also gets multiple listening tests and an acoustic sweep to ensure consistency and reliability.
The mic ships with Roswell’s exclusive Cutaway™ shockmount, a Roswell microfleece mic sock, and a protective flight case, all wrapped in a durable heat-treated finish.

Component Highlights
The Mini K47’s 34mm capsule is modeled after the capsule in one of history’s most iconic microphones, delivering tight lows, detailed mids, and a smooth, neutral top end. Roswell’s circuit design avoids compromises found in many competitors—removing the input coupling capacitor entirely and using a hand-biased vintage transistor rather than common high-capacitance alternatives.
Critical connections are built “dead bug” style for the cleanest signal path, while matched 1% resistors and hand-selected European capacitors ensure consistent, musical performance. The result is a balanced, harmonically rich tone unmatched in its price range.
