The UT FET47 Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone by United Studio Technologies is a painstaking recreation of a beloved German classic. Based on the original, highly sought-after U47 FET, the UT FET47 brings all of the versatility, wide open clarity, and depth of sound of the original without the vintage price tag. United Studio Technologies partnered with acclaimed capsule designer Eric Heiserman to bring the German K47 capsule back to life in a way that captures all of the big sound of the original without excessive harshness or sibilance.
The capsules are handmade in small batches in the US and tested prior to the final microphone build. Incredibly high SPL resiliency and an onboard -10 dB pad allow the mic to be used on nearly any instrument or application, especially its classic use as a kick drum mic. A switchable high-pass filter gives plenty of flexibility when used as a vocal mic or when recording brass, woodwinds, and guitar. A transformer built by California-based Cinemag Transformers delivers clean and quiet operation. The UT FET47 offers extraordinary, consistent sound quality that only an uncompromising design can bring, all at an accessible price.
