Actually this mic is an exact replica of the U47. It is equipped with F7 capsule – our exact replica of M7 capsule, our replica of BV8 transformer and TELEFUNKEN EF12 or E80F tubes. Those are actually the next generation of EF12 tubes but with a longer lifetime. In fact, EF12, EF14, UF14 or VF14 are the same tubes with different heating. Especially we focus on EF12 tube as we consider its sound character closest to original. Of course, the price depends on the type of tube. Those of you who have knowledge of prices know that the price of a good VF14 tube can reach 1,500€, so it is obvious that this mic is not a cheap thing. But this mic is possible to use for almost everything and always sounds perfect. The body is duraluminium and is nickel plated . The grille is available in two versions: glossy chrome or matt nickel. The whole set comprises the mic in wooden box, cable, shockmount and power supply

Of course, there are a few exceptions, but only a fool would position this mic 5 cm from the kick-drumhead of a heavy metal drummer. The body is duraluminium and is nickel plated . The grille can be made in two versions: glossy chrome or matt nickel. The whole set comprises the mic in wooden box, cable, shockmount and power supply. Everything is packed in safety portable case.

You like the U47 sound and you are set up mainly for a cardioid "mood"? Don't really need an omni ? This is the right place for you. The FLEA 47 NEXT sounds identical to the FLEA 47! Built with the same wiring and components as the FLEA 47. Elimination of the omni pattern allowed us to make slightly different design. Compared to the FLEA 47 design, the FLEA 47 NEXT - comes without a pattern selector , which is unnecessary due to the cardioid only modification, and a different microphone bottom connector. We used a 7pin Binder connector for the 47 Next. The FLEA 47 NEXT is packaged with our full standard kit , Felt lined wooden box, power supply, cable and shock mount.

At the beginning of the FLEA 47/48 SUPERFET story we were trying to reach mainly one goal – to build the microphone with as similar sound character as the tube 47 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. It doesn't mean we build it cheap or we “impoverish” it somehow in quality. Construction is comparable with the most expensive microphones and we use old pure technologies like point to point soldering of all sensitive parts on a special base, output transformer with size and materials like in tube version, our 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 FLEA 47, FLEA 48 or original U47/U48 microphones. The quality of the sound was always the priority to us, our microphones are long time tested in cooperation with famous sound engineers and musicians all over the world and only we were pretty sure the result is uncompromising we decided to open the door and revealed these babies.
All measurements were verified by independent company to avoid any misleading information and results.
When we look into the past, it's clear that the original U47 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. FLEA 47 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.

Exact replica of the U48, equipped with F7 or F47/49 capsule – exact replica of M7/K47/49 capsule, our replica of BV8 transformer and TELEFUNKEN EF12 or E80F tubes. Those are actually the next generation of EF12 tubes but with a longer lifetime. The body is duraluminium and is nickel plated. FLEA 48 is available only in short body version with matte nickel plated grille. The advantage of this microphone is figure 8 polar pattern which is coming handy to eliminate too big ambience of the room, studio, what is not possible with omni polar pattern like, for instance, on FLEA 47 (or U47). The full set includes: the mic in wooden box, cable, shockmount and modern style power supply.

The 48 is the gun. A lot of sound engineers are looking for the 48 because of its incredible sound on vocals or voiceovers in figure-8 pattern. A lot of them are willing to own all patterns to get a variable sound and to be able to experiment in studio. This unique sound of the 48 is historically proved by the famous studios like Abbey Road, Capitol, etc. And if you have a pair, the doors are open for Blumlein or M/S techniques.
