Neumann U 47 fet i Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Built according to the original production documents and schematics of the classic design, the Neumann U 47 fet i Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a precise reproduction of this often-copied microphone that helped define the smooth sound of the '70s. A transistorized version of their legendary U 47 tube mic, the U 47 fet i features the same classic K 47 dual-diaphragm capsule as the U 47 and boasts high SPL handling, commonly finding itself at home outside of a kick drum and in front of loud guitar and bass amps. Like the original, there is a slight boost in frequency response around 2 kHz.
The mic features the same 140 Hz low-cut filter as the original as well as the selectable -10 dB pad to raise the maximum SPL from 137 to 147 dB. For additional attenuation, there is a -6 dB output switch, allowing you to hit your mic preamps at a lower level in case you want to use more gain and coloration via the preamp. Thanks to the integrated swivel mount and included thread adapter, the U 47 fet i can easily be positioned on any mic stand. Unlike the U 47 tube mic, the U 47 fet i requires 48V phantom power.
