NeumannU47 fet Bon Scott Edition Condenser Microphone

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a full professional U 47 fet reissue, this limited Bon Scott edition brings the same recording performance to demanding sessions while adding commemorative presentation details. Its FET design and high SPL capacity make it suited to lead vocals, guitar or bass amplifiers, kick drums, and other loud sources. The cardioid pattern, XLR connection, and 48V phantom-power requirement place it naturally in a studio signal chain. Each matte-black microphone is individually serialized within the 300-unit run.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording lead vocals, guitar or bass amplifiers, kick drums, and other high-SPL studio sources.
- Engineers who want current U 47 fet reissue performance with Bon Scott commemorative presentation details.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Buyers needing a microphone that operates without 48V phantom power.
- Those seeking a non-limited production model rather than one of 300 serialized microphones.
