context_page_description: Neumann U 47 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone. The original series, manufactured by Georg Neumann GmbH between 1949 and 1965, employed a tube design; the M 7 capsule was used until 1958, then superseded by the K 47.
  Neumann U 47 FET was a first reissue, with a head grille similar to the original U 47 but using solid-state circuitry and using the K 47 capsule. Intended to recapture the sound of the original U 47, enjoyed only limited success; however, the U 47 FET became well known among recording engineers as a brass and bass drum mic; it also gained great popularity among double bass players in the jazz world. It was manufactured by Neumann between 1969 and 1986, and was reissued itself in 2015.
  The microphone is well known for its clear sound, with a distinct emphasis in its upper-midrange frequency response and it has been used in countless famous recordings. The original U 47 tube microphone is featured on many Frank Sinatra album covers and songs, including "I Got You Under My Skin".
