Supposedly a tube SDC mic. No info on the Apex website. If anyone has heard one, please post your comments.

At first I thought it was a misprint of the 460 but the photo proves that wrong.
If you goggle up apex 471 you get the same picture!.!

Ahh! Looks like the 471 is a newer version of the 470.

Just a guess but if you read their descriptions, both are SDC tube mics for which the capsules can be changed (cardoid and omni). Since the model numbers are so close, I guessed that the 471 is a newer version of the 470.

I emailed Apex and they confirmed that the 470 and 471 are identical.
