2-channel Tube Mic Preamp with NFB Setting, Stepped Gain, and Variable Output
Heritage Audio and LANG Electronics Inc. proudly present the Silverr 47, a meticulously crafted re-creation of a coveted '60s-era tube mic preamp. This 2-channel powerhouse captures the unmistakable sonic character of its vintage predecessor, while also offering you plenty of modern features. Inside the unit, you'll find carefully sourced NOS tubes and custom-built LANG transformers, faithfully reproducing the era-defining sound that helped shape the British Invasion. And while the Silverr 47 excels as a microphone preamp, its versatility extends far beyond, serving as a premium line-receiving input amplifier, EQ section driver, fader gain stage, output line driver, and many other creative applications. Whether you're sculpting pristine recordings or seeking that elusive, gritty distortion, this unit delivers with equal assurance. For example, if you're chasing classic direct-to-console tones, the Silverr 47 can inject a raw, harmonically rich edge into DI-d electric guitars, echoing the signature sounds pioneered in the '60s and '70s. Additionally, Heritage Audio has introduced a novel NFB (No Feedback) setting, pushing harmonic distortion beyond that of the original unit for an even more dynamic sonic palette. Featuring high-precision stepped Voltage Gain controls and variable Output controls for creative gain staging, the Heritage Audio LANG Silverr 47 arms you with the ability to mine endless creative options at every step of the recording process.
A meticulous re-creation of a coveted ’60s-era tube preamp, the LANG Silverr 47 captures the unmistakable sonic character of the original in a modern, easy-to-use 2-channel format.

The Heritage Audio LANG Silverr 47 performs brilliantly as a microphone preamp, of course. But it also delivers premium results as a line-receiving input amplifier, EQ section driver, fader gain stage, output line driver, and more — you name it! At Sweetwater, we've also used it to add hairy distortion to DI-d electric guitars akin to the classic direct-to-console tones wielded by the renowned studio pioneers in the '60s and '70s.
When designing the LANG Silverr 47, Heritage Audio set out to do more than re-create classic hardware — the company aimed to elevate it for modern engineers. As a result, the Silverr 47 boasts a suite of innovative features. One standout is its unique NFB (No Feedback) setting, which drives harmonic distortion far beyond its predecessor, transforming the unit into a one-of-a-kind analog tone-shaping tool. Additionally, this tube-driven mic preamp offers stepped Voltage Gain controls, ensuring maximum precision and effortless repeatability. Finally, variable Output controls provide ample flexibility for creative gain staging.
