United Studio Technologies UT FET47 Large-diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone

For the UT FET47, United Studio Technologies worked with renowned capsule designer Eric Heiserman to develop a fresh take on the classic German K47 capsule design. Eric collaborated with the United team and their capsule manufacturer to develop a new capsule from the ground up. The result is a capsule that sounds open, articulate, and three dimensional — arguably more so than the original. The design process involved the analysis of everything from the sourced Mylar to the screw threads; but after many iterations — and subjective listening tests, the finalized HZ Series capsule design delivered everything the capsule team had hoped for. And then some.

United Studio Technologies auditioned many re-creations of the original FET47 German transformer, but quickly settled on an exceptional design from Cinemag Transformers of California. Their take on this classic, critical component is truly a work of art: a large, beefy transformer made from a striped core of interleaved sets of high nickel and steel laminations and wound to original specs. Cinemag‘s “humbucking” design delivers clean, quiet operation in any and all conditions. While United could have used smaller or less pricey transformer; compromise was never an option. The Cinemag transformer truly makes a huge difference in delivering the authoritative sound of a legend.
