FLEA47/48 SUPERFET were imagined to fullfil a goal – to build the microphone with as similar sound character as the tube fourtyseven version has but with all benefits of the FET technology, e.g. signal to noise ratio, a lower price.
The price is very important to make these microphones affordable for a wider range of users.
Construction is comparable with the most expensive microphones and old pure technologies are used, like point to point soldering of all sensitive parts on a special base, output transformer with size and materials like in tube version, the F7 capsule skinned by skilled German technicians.
All contacts and soldering pins are gold plated, output connector is made by reputable manufacturer – Neutrik. The passive components are meticulously selected and tested before they are used. The complete microphone is manually equipped and wired. The microphone heads are absolutely compatible with the FLEA47, FLEA48 or original microphones.
All measurements were verified by independent company to avoid any misleading information and results.
The original mic is the most wanted microphone ever in music industry. Sound of this microphone is amazing on almost everything – vocals, acoustic instruments ... Moreover, if you have a pair, you can realize A/B, X/Y, ORTF stereo techniques. FLEA47 SUPERFET offers exactly the same, both cardioid and omni patterns. And having a pair of them opens the doors for all mentioned stereo techniques above.
To keep your microphones safe, in standard packaging is our handmade oak wooden box for the microphone. The part of the standard package is also our heavy duty shockmount.
