DA FET 47

Loving the DA FET 47

First off, this microphone is absolutely beautiful. The build quality and finish are outstanding, and it has a reassuring weight that immediately conveys the feel of a premium piece of gear. Even the packaging is impressive—the microphone arrives in a well-designed box with dense, precision-cut foam that offers excellent protection. What really stands out, though, is the sound. While I wouldn't claim to be an expert on the Neumann U 47 FET, I do have many years of recording experience using a wide variety of microphones. This mic has exceeded my expectations. I've put it through its paces on numerous sources, and I have yet to find an application where it didn't sound fantastic. I've been pairing it primarily with an SSL Revival 4000 channel strip, as well as an LA-610 Mk II, and the results have been consistently beautiful. I'm genuinely impressed with both the performance and the quality of this microphone. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely be adding more DA microphones to my collection in the future.

Great for Acoustic Bass

I had owned an original Neumann U47fet for decades. I particularly liked using it for recording acoustic bass. Tough economic times forced the sale of the vintage mic. Now that I am in retirement, the new Dachman DA FET 47 has stepped in to provide similar performance to the classic Neumann at a more bite size price point, As I now make concert recordings of chamber music and small jazz ensembles the DA FET 47 performs admirably. We are living in a golden age of new microphone offerings. The Dachman mics are a reflection of the wide range of sonic possibilities from a new generation of microphone manufacturers. Well worth the price (especially when on sale)

Great microphone

Since purchasing the MIC, the VO offers are rolling in. Made a big difference in my work.
