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.
I think FLEA now offer a lifetime guarantee.

I visited them earlier this month and was extremely impressed at the dedication of the company and the quality of manufacture.

FLEA supply the hardware kits for other "clone" manufacturers such as Wunder as their engineering is so superb.
