U47 FET DIY Microphone Kit
From 599,00€ ex. VAT
Our kit is a perfect clone of the legendary Vintage Neumann U47 FET microphone ✅ the standard for years in the recording industry and studios around the world. You have the choice in the options, either in DIY it’s you the builder or already assembled by Mic&Mod and ready to play!
Capture the punchy sound, power and dynamics with facility!
Our U47 Fet clone is a faithful version of the original from the 70’s before the re-release of the brand’s model. This is the FET version of the famous U47 tube microphone!
Circuit delivers fast and detailed response
Our U47 FET version uses a premium and efficient detailed circuit, coupled with the K47 capsule, in dual-diaphragm with a cardioid pickup pattern. This capsule is known for its excellent dynamic response and wide frequency range. It’s just enough to enhance the sense of air and presence in your recordings, and the wide-ranging response gives you a vibrant sound that holds up extremely well to equalizing and compression.
Our design uses a high quality 2N3819 FET as the model of that time, a -10 dB pad and a low cut filter, which will be the best tool for your loud sounding recordings like drum kicks!
We also thought about mobility with the design of a quality aluminum case, ideal for your outdoor recordings or simply to preserve your microphone!
All components are carefully matched and selected in our workshop. We attach great importance to the precision of our circuits in order to be as accurate as possible compared to the original.
