It’s quite simply the perfect ‘glue’ mic. Mixdown Says: With an SPL tolerance of 137 dB (capable of tolerating 147 dB with the adjustable -10 dB pad engaged) and with it’s extended LF extension its not hard to see why the FET U-47 enjoys its reputation as the de facto front of kick microphone, adding a sense of instant professionalism to the overall kit sound. Since its inception, the FET U-47 has been a symbol of modern studio versatility, being just as at home in front of a drum kit as it is in front of a talented vocalist or string section. Production of the U47 FET continued until 1986 before ceasing until 2015 when Neumann decided to revive production of the underappreciated classic, using the updated schematics of the 1980 version as its primary source for the re-release. Under the hood, the capsule itself was still identical to that of the tube version and with that, the U-47 FET was still a more than serviceable vocal mic, but the incorporation of new FET circuitry opened it up to a whole host of new and interesting applications. While it didn’t share the same robust, big-budget beauty of it’s tube based namesake, it’s new FET circuitry made it particularly adept at picking up high SPL transient material, capturing the more explosive elements of the studio with a depth and quality that made it a standout for a rapidly changing recording climate. The result was something with a completely different sonic character to its tube-based predecessor (and bore with it a completely different skillset).

The U-47 FET was a ‘transistor-ised’ update of the original all-tube U-47, itself already a classic by the time the first U-47 FET rolled around in 1969. The U-47 FET was Neumann first attempt incorporating the various advancements in transistor technology into it’s already formidable line-up of large diaphragm condensers. Rushmore appeal or the ubiquitous ‘pro at home’ vibes of the TLM 103, we’ve decided to go with one of the unsung heroes of the Neumann lineage, the seldom mentioned but nonetheless incredibly versatile U-47 FET. While it would have been easy to go with the U-87’s Mt. They are the preeminent icon in the space, a name so synonymous with electro-acoustic excellence, that it’s almost a forgone conclusion. The iconic German microphone Haus has been at the forefront of performance transducer design since the birth of recording.
