Neumann U47 FET

The Neumann U47 FET is a legendary large-diaphragm condenser microphone that faithfully recreates the classic U47 FET design using original specifications and circuitry. Featuring the renowned K47 dual-diaphragm capsule, cardioid polar pattern, high SPL handling up to 147 dB, and FET 80 technology, it delivers exceptional detail, dynamic range, and reliability. Widely used for lead vocals, bass drum, bass cabinets, and guitar amplifiers, the U47 FET remains a studio standard for professional recording applications.

The Neumann U47 FET Collector’s Edition is a faithful reissue of one of the most iconic studio microphones ever produced. Manufactured according to the original documentation and circuit designs, this large-diaphragm condenser microphone combines the classic K47 dual-diaphragm capsule with Neumann’s renowned FET 80 circuitry, providing outstanding dynamic range, transient response, and sonic clarity.

Designed for demanding studio environments, the U47 FET features a cardioid polar pattern that delivers focused sound capture with excellent off-axis rejection. Its legendary K47 capsule contributes a subtle presence boost around 2 kHz, resulting in a rich, detailed, and highly musical sound character. The microphone includes a switchable low-cut filter to reduce handling noise, wind noise, and proximity effect, along with a -10 dB pad and an additional -6 dB output attenuation switch to accommodate extremely loud sound sources.

Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 147 dB SPL without distortion, the U47 FET is especially popular for recording kick drums, bass instruments, guitar amplifiers, and powerful vocal performances. Each microphone is supplied in a premium wooden presentation case and includes an individual serial-number certificate, making it both a professional studio tool and a collector's piece.
