L47FET

Big magic comes in small packages!
The L47FET (formerly known as the L47SH) is new and improved! It has a new lightweight one-piece machined aluminum body finished in durable satin chrome. The head is machined brass and plated with luscious bright nickel. The L47FET's rugged design, lighter weight, and small profile make it easy to fit into tight spaces such as bass drum.
Because the L47FET boasts the same capsule as the L47MP MKII, it really shines on vocal, both sung and spoken. The L47FET may well be one of the best voice-over microphones available and is quickly finding favor among many broadcast and voice-over talents.
There is wide discussion about the sonic differences between solid state microphones such as the L47FET and their tube counterparts i.e., the L47MP MKII. Many engineers describe the L47FET as more "focused" or "clinical" sounding while attributing a "softer," "warmer" sound to the L47MP MKII. Needless to say, there are differences in sound between the two electronics. In some instances, the truer sound of the L47FET is preferred; in other situations, the warmth and roundness of the L47MP MKII is chosen. Since personal tastes vary widely, we suggest that you try both. Simply order an L47MP MKII with a Lawson FET electronics. With the Quick Change™ system, simply remove the head from the L47MP MKII and put it on your FET electronics. Listen to both. Let your ears decide which is best for you.
There are several advantages to the L47FET:
* The L47FET is convenient, small, and lightweight. No outboard power supply is needed;
* The L47FET operates on 48V phantom. There is only one cable required to connect your L47FET to your mic pre or console;
* The L47FET is very affordable.
Although the L47FET solid state electronics are capable of only a cardioid response, the L47FET's Quick Change™ capsule, when used with any Lawson multi-pattern electronics is capable of full multi-pattern functionality making it a perfect companion to the L251 tube microphone. Remove the Quick Change™ capsule from the L47FET, put it on your L251 tube electronics, and voila! You have an L47MP MKII. Put the L251 capsule on the FET electronics and record with the L251FET.
The L47FET uses all discrete components including one percent low noise metal film resistors. No integrated circuits or surface mount parts are used.
