Description
The Flea Flea48 Vintage Tube Microphone is an exact replica of the Neumann / Telefunken U48. It is equipped with F7 capsule – our exact replica of M7 capsule, our replica of transformer and Flea EF12 tube (also available with the TELEFUNKEN EF12 tube). In fact, this is the same tube with different heating. We consider its sound character as closest to original.
The advantage of this microphone is figure 8 polar pattern which is coming handy to eliminate too big ambiance of the room, studio, what is not possible with omni polar pattern like, for instance, on FLEA47 (or U47).
The full set includes: the mic in wooden box, cable, shockmount and power supply.
