A contemporary witness that decisively shaped the sound of the 70s is the Neumann
U 47 fet. As the transistorized successor to the U 47, it allowed for the first time
the processing of very high sound levels, for example, directly in front of loud
Amps. In combination with the sound of the capsule of its famous Röhrenvorggger
it thus became part of many legendary recordings of the time.

Technically, the U 47 fet is a condenser microphone with cardioid characteristic
and the circuit technology fet 80. This technology is also used, among others, in the U
87 and is characterized in particular by its high dynamic range
high dynamic range. The K 47, which was already used in the U 47, is a double large diaphragm capsule
with a slight presence boost in the range above 2 kHz.
A switchable high-pass filter raises the lower electrical cutoff frequency from
Frequency from 40 Hz to 140 Hz, and the switchable attenuation reduces the transmission
by 10 dB. Additionally, to avoid overdriving of the connected preamp, the output signal
of the connected preamp, the output signal can be attenuated by 6 dB by means of a switch
Switch on the underside of the microphone to reduce the output signal by 6 dB.
