Hi Geno,
We've redesigned our site in celebration of a big greasy new vocal mic -- the HM-7U. You may have already heard about it on some of the online forums.
As an existing KEL mic user, you qualify for a private $50 pre-production discount. We expect our first production run to be ready in about 10 days but the offer is good until September 30.
I apologize for sending you an e-mail about this, but the pre-production price is a special for past customers like you so I'm not advertising it to the general public.
The HM-7U is very affordable, yet features a glossy sounding K47-style capsule (like later Neumann U47s) so it's great on vocals of all kinds. To keep prices low and quality high, we went with a premium-grade FET circuit, instead of cheap tube components.
Get all the details here:

Got this info from the Kell audio website comparing this mic to the famous vintage Neuman U-47.
Doing some research on the Neuman website , I finally found a German frequency and polar plot to compare the Kell mic to.
Kell Audio HM7U
Neuman U-47 
Although the freq plots are similar , the hypercardiod patterns are nearly identical. This pattern I believe would make a superior vocal mic. The real test would be how the two compared in proximity effect. Both mics do have unique coloration in the vocal freqs.
Not having a hypercardoid in my locker , I'm gonna order this one just because of the pattern. I have a funny feeling this would make a great guitar cab mic as well.
Probably as close to a U47 as I'm ever gonna get.
They are on sale for $250 until the end of this month. Includes shock mt. and flight case.
