Heiserman H47 FET Condenser Microphone - A Modern Classic Reimagined
Discover the Heiserman H47 FET, a modern tribute to the legendary Neumann U47 FET condenser microphone. With its versatile, smooth, and detailed sound, this mic captures the essence of the original phantom-powered U47 FET while delivering exceptional performance for today’s studios. Developed over two years with extensive comparisons to a vintage U47 FET, the H47 offers a breathtaking audio experience—whether you’re a seasoned engineer or new to this iconic design.
Versatile Sound for Every Studio
The H47 shines with its smooth, full response and gentle presence boost, making it an ideal main studio microphone. Perfect for vocals, kick drums, or any source requiring rich, balanced tone, this mic adapts effortlessly to your recording needs. Its faithful recreation of the U47 FET’s signature sound ensures professional-grade results every time.
Modern Design, Uncompromising Quality
Heiserman’s ‘no compromise’ philosophy drives the H47’s creation, designed and manufactured entirely in the USA. From the capsule to the head basket, body, and final plating, every detail is meticulously crafted. The result is a premium microphone that not only sounds incredible but also looks stunning and feels exceptional in your hands.
The HK47 Capsule - The Pinnacle of Sound
At the core of the H47 lies the HK47 capsule, designed, manufactured, and assembled in-house by Heiserman. This hands-on approach ensures unmatched quality and consistency, with the latest HK47 iteration achieving the ultimate balance of smoothness, fullness, and presence. It’s the heart of a microphone that sets a new standard in audio excellence.
Precision Circuitry for Pristine Audio
True to the original U47 FET circuit, the H47 features 100% through-hole components, including modern low-noise FETs for a whisper-quiet performance. High-quality Wima film caps, precision resistors, and authentic polystyrene and tantalum capacitors enhance its fidelity. A custom Cinemag transformer enables two pad switches (-10 dB and -6 dB), a favorite trick for capturing stellar kick drum tones, while a 200 Hz high-pass filter adds versatility.
