FLEA Microphones - FLEA 48 SUPERFET
Description
The FLEA47 SUPERFET is a remarkable feat of engineering, born from a singular vision: to create a microphone that embodies the sound character of the classic tube 47, enhanced with the advantages of FET technology.
This microphone is not just an innovation; it’s a bridge between the revered past and the advanced present, offering a superb signal-to-noise ratio and affordability without compromising on quality.
The construction of the FLEA47 SUPERFET rivals the most expensive microphones in the market, utilizing time-honored techniques like point-to-point soldering of sensitive parts on a specialized base. We’ve incorporated an output transformer mirroring the size and materials of the tube version and our F7 capsule, meticulously skinned by skilled German technicians.
Attention to detail is paramount. Every contact and soldering pin is gold-plated, and the output connector is sourced from the reputable Neutrik. We painstakingly select and test each passive component before assembly. The complete microphone is hand-equipped and wired, ensuring unparalleled quality.
It comes equipped with:
Capsules:
• Standard: Our own F7 Capsule, a precise replica of the legendary M7 capsule.
