Vintage original Neumann U47FET large diaphragm condenser microphone. Tested prior to listing, sounds great, no issues. I have owned this microphone for over 20 years ,and it has been wrapped in cloth sealed in a zip loc bag in climate controlled storage for the last 12. As shown in photos, some blemishes , around the body body, appearing to be from the shock mount.I do not have the original box or shock mount. The 47fet was intended to be a phantom-powered, FET version of the U47 tube microphone, designed a few years after the VF14 tube at the heart of the U47 became unavailable. Like the U 47, the fet model used Neumann’s K47 capsule, variously referred to as the K 47, K 47/49 and K 47fet. This is a dual-diaphragm, large diaphragm (34mm OD) capsule with a single, shared backplate and center-terminated 6-micron Mylar diaphragms. Because the U47 Fet was a fixed Cardioid microphone, Neumann used K47 capsules (designed “K47Fet”) whose rear sides did not meet specifications for use in multipattern mics. Therefore, unlike a multipattern K47 mic, a dirty or abused U47Fet capsule cannot be rotated 180°. The mic had a transformer-coupled output, although the design of transformer differed from the BV8 found in the tube U 47. Oliver Archut States: Aside from the ratio of the BV8 you find in the U47, the winding technique of the fet 47’s transformer differs too. The Fet47 [transformer] is more [closely] related to the BV12 you find in the U67. There are a couple of different BV8 revisions, but all of them share the multiple-chamber winding technique, [whereas] the Fet47 [transformer] and the BV12 are just plain old mantle [transformers].Product SpecsCondition:Excellent Make:Neumann Model:U47 fetFinish:NickelCategories:MicrophonesYear:1970s
