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.
