From Dachman Audio

The Dachman Audio DA FET 47 is a large-diaphragm solid-state condenser microphone engineered as a faithful, reproduction of the iconic Neumann U47 FET studio microphone.

Overview & Design Concept

The DA FET 47 brings the bold, authoritative tone of a 1970s solid-state classic to modern studios.Built around the original vintage schematic, Dachman Audio designed the DA FET 47 to deliver exceptional headroom and high SPL handling, making it a workhorse for tracking high-transient or low-end heavy sound sources—such as kick drums, bass cabinets, brass, and powerful vocalists—without distortion.

Key Features & Components

  • DA-K47 Capsule:Features a bespoke, dual-backplate K47-style capsule constructed with 6-micron gold-sputtered Mylar film and precision-milled backplates, assembled in a clean-room environment for rich, warm lower-mids and articulate detail.

  • DA-BV8 Output Transformer:A custom, massive output transformer featuring a high-nickel core designed to deliver wide frequency bandwidth, tight low-end weight, and enriched harmonic depth.

  • Premium Discrete Circuitry:Built directly to vintage schematics using high-grade components, including genuine polystyrene capacitors, WIMA film capacitors, and Panasonic FC Series capacitors paired with premium low-noise FETs.

  • Integrated Mount & Brass Body:Housed in a heavy-duty, nickel-plated solid brass body with a built-in articulating stand mount adapter for flexible and secure positioning on heavy stands.

  • Included Case:Ships in a solid cherry wood protective storage box.
