Anyone using FLEA mics??

[Plush]

Is anyone using FLEA mics from Slovakia?

I am interested in hearing about how they sound and your experiences with FLEA.

Who's a swashbuckling adventurer?

you should ask mike at wunder about this...I believe that FLEA and Wunder source some mics body parts from the same metalworking supply.... the capsules, I think, come from Germany- not Slovakia. I might be wrong .

Indeed both FLEA and Wunder capsules come from Thiersch.

Sorry but this is not true. I have an informations directly from Milos Rojko who is the owner of the Flea and he only supplies the bodies to Wunder, Wagner and Telefunken. What is inside is a know how of each company. Except for bodies those mikes have nothing common.

based on my chat with mike you are not correct.
you might want to check with him first before assuming to much.

Plush, I do hope someone who has an actual Flea mic hops into this thread so it doesn't get too far off base.

I have invited Flea people to join this discussion and explain it but today I also have found it was already explained in another thread here:

they do look a lot alike but as we know that dose not always mean much.
