NUDE FET47
Introducing the NUDE FET47 – our tribute to the iconic solid-state condenser that defined the sound of a generation. This cardioid-only large diaphragm microphone captures the essence of the original with a modern twist. At its core lies a meticulously engineered Class A FET circuit, paired with a custom-wound transformer and a precision-tuned K47-style capsule.
Built to handle high SPLs with grace, the NUDE FET47 rocks for kick drum thump, bass amp definition, and powerful vocals, delivering a rich, full-bodied tone with exceptionally sharp clarity. Its robust construction ensures durability, while its sonic character offers a smooth low end, detailed mids, and a polished high-frequency response. Whether you're tracking in a professional studio or capturing live performances, the NUDE FET47 provides the classic sound you love with the reliability you need. Experience the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern precision. The NUDE FET47 ships in a rugged flight case with a custom suspension mount, ready to become a staple in your microphone cabinet.

Johnny Manchild – Producer/Audio Engineer – Wastedspacestudio, Oklahoma USA
"...Beautiful microphone. Super low self noise, awesome low end, and smooth highs. This thing is a hefty boy. Nude Microphones recreated the FET U47, and now I get to make some pretty sounds with it. Might be my new favourite for upright bass....Also, used the 47 for a vocal during a live vocal acoustic guitar tracking, and it was wonderful for that as well...It seems to love big low end sources – very cool choice for kick drum..."
