Neumann U47fet
discontinued Supercardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
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.
Two versions of the microphone were sold:
- U47feti - male XLR connector
- U47fet - male DIN 41524 (Tuchel) connector
(Each of the above was also available in a “dark matt finish,” specified U 47 fet i mt or U 47 fet mt.)
The capsule is shockmounted within the headbasket to reduce mechanical interference.
A wiring schematic for the U47fet can be found in the 1983 user guide.
The mic was manufactured from 1969 through 1986.
The Neumann U47fet is also known as: U-47-FET, fet47, U-47fet, 47fet.
The mic was released in 1969.
