[Plush]

By saying, "it sounds old," I mean that it sounds like a vintage U47. It sounds like a old tube mic. It is part of the FLEA design to have the FLEA 47 sound like a Neumann U47.

It's as simple as that.

YOu can pay more for a 47 clone but FLEA offers the real thing for reasonable money. The people behind FLEA are also good people and so I believe that they are deserving of support. They treat the customer like you want to be treated and they provide excellent customer service.

Warranty on FLEA mics is 10 years by the way.

I will be buying more FLEA 47 soon.
