Products - Replacement Valve

The RV-14m valve, is the ideal replacement for the "Obsolete" Telefunken VF14m, as used in the famous Neumann U47 / U48 microphones.

Being of the same physical size and appearance to the original Telefunken VF14m, the RV-14m is a direct "Plug-in" replacement. Provided that the microphone, lead and PSU combination, is in "Original" condition, then no electrical modifications are required - Please see "Guarantee"

Each valve is rigorously tested at various stages of production and carries it's own "Serial Number".

"..... the overall sound is the classic 47 ....."

Sphere Studios, London

" It is really remarkable how closely it sounds to the VF-14. The only difference I could tell, was a SLIGHT extension on the top end, that sounds even better than it did before !!!! ..... the Microphone noise is lower as well "

Mike Bridges, Germantown Studio, Nashville

" Initial thoughts are very positive. It sounded very similar, almost identical to my other U47 with a VF14 "

Dennis Weinreich, Videosonics Cinema Sound, London

" We have previously purchased a RV-14m valve from you. It is absolutely fantastic ! "

Marcus, Visual Sound, Sweden

PLEASE NOTE - Each RV-14m is "Guaranteed for 1 year", from the date Invoiced. However, the use of any RV-14m in a modified microphone / PSU combination, that has not been electrically approved by SATURN SOUND Recording Services, will "Invalidate the Guarantee".

In cases where electrical modifications have taken place, to the microphone e.g. a non-standard valve type is fitted etc, then a suitable "Retro" modification is available. Thus taking the microphone back to it's original "Neumann" design/circuit.
