Wunder Audio CM7-G Suprema Tube Condenser Microphone with K47 Capsule

The CM7 G (Glass Tube Switchable) Suprema is the latest evolution of the CM7-GTS. This mic is true to a vintage-style mic with a modern upgrade, we’ve engineered a switchable cardioid mode relay on the inside of the mic instead of on the outside of the grille. This mode produces a smoother more full-bodied sound. The pattern switch is still on the PSU, but the actual switch point in the circuit is directly below the capsule compartment. At the same time, it retains the eight different polar patterns found in a vintage M49, so it is like having two mics in one!

Grille
Our Wunder Audio CM7 GS Grille is true to vintage with three gauges of grill mesh at the head grille: an outer large mesh, an inner medium mesh, and a fine mesh that is sandwiched in between. The Wunder Audio Suprema Grille has acoustic interplay with the capsule, having the electronic properties of a Faraday cage. This proper vintage mesh gauge is not the readily available metric gauge and is vastly important for the legendary sound.

Capsule
The Wunder Audio CM7 GS Suprema Microphone can be ordered either with K47 or M7 Capsule. Our diaphragm is stretched and glued to the rim, akin to how a snare drum head is stretched over a rim and never screwed to the backplate.

Our backplate is brass and precision milled by hand in Switzerland to the original rim height 15/10000th inch specification within one-micron tolerance, (1 Micron = 0.0000393701 inch) which is a modern upgrade to the original M7’s which had up to 0002” tolerance. The CM7 GS has three mounting isolation rims; having three rims provides an improved isolation of the ground. Our capsules then sent to Germany, where they have perfected the craft of skinning them in gold.

Tube
The CM7 G Suprema includes a new old stock Telefunken 800 series tube. This tube is modern glass derivative of the vintage steal tube. It uses the same system construction but in a package that is less likely to get microphonic.

Transformer
The transformer inside the CM7 G Suprema contains the exact vintage Mu-Metal as these early transformers and is wound to the original Braunbuch specifications using NOS (new old stock) laminations.

Capacitor
We’ve optimized our passive components to achieve a true audiophile performance. While audiophile equipment is usually referred to at the end of the chain in recording, we feel that it is most important that the first link in the recording chain, the microphone, be the best attainable.

Power Supply
The new generation tube Microphone PSU is proprietary to Wunder Audio and is an upgrade from the vintage tube mic PSU’s used for the 1960’s era. Our upgrade gets a clean and stable DC voltage to the mic and shields the influx of Wi-Fi and RF interference with 100 percent reliability.

Box and Carrying Case
Your Wunder Audio CM7 GS is nestled in velvet and softly secured in place in a foam-lined quarter sawn oak box that is clasped and hinged. This box then is safely encased in a precision velvet-lined thick foam tweed case that also holds your PSU, your shock mount, and your cables. The tweed carrying case is a work of art in itself; it uses the same Fender tweed found in a vintage Fender guitar case which amplifies the vintage period of the vintage-style CM7 GS microphone, and it is trimmed with top grain leather and fine stitching. The CM7 GS case has a strong leather handle and combination lock to keep your mic secure. This case can be sold separately.

Package includes:
CM7 GS, Plush Oak Box, Historical Shock Mount, Wunder Audio Power Supply, Tube mic cable, Tweed Carrying Case. Comes standard with the K7 capsule, Optional Upgrade to M7 capsule.
