U47 Fet body on Aliexpress

[Rob Flinn]

Sorry if I am late to the party on this (can't seem to find another thread to do with this). I just came across a U47 fet body on aliexpress. As I say if this has been posted before apologies. See here

For that price, a used t.bone SCT700 or SCT2000 makes loads more sense imho (and you're left with a power supply for another project, too). That is, of course, unless the branding is really THAT repulsive...

A 147 style? https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005006180655555.html

These are very cheap in China. You can actually buy them for about half the price. The delivery fee is an issue.

Shame they don’t do a C414 style body, I could do with a few of them for my C414 Eb p48’s that I’ve built.
C414 eb p48 sounds amazing on top of snare and guitar cabs btw!!

Anyone have internal body dimensions of those C414-type bodies yet?

Now I look at it more carefully it seems not very practical. The capsule base screws into the body and the base of the body does not seem to dissasembly, so you would need long wires from the capsule to twist them screwing the top? And where/how to install the internals?

 

[soliloqueen]

guffawing at all the lead wires getting braided by assembling the mic. that's too much.......probably one of the funniest things i've ever seen

 

[HerbertR]

Yes, I also ordered the C414 bodies for my EB builds from them....Top quality supplier.....uncomplicated, very, very professionally organized. I used Vami 414 EB PCBs from Vac11, Beesneez C12 and Mobys Ü54. World class...
The U47 Fet bodies are the same like from M&M. Very good bodies, recommendation....

 

[elmolemon]

That’s great to hear! I also ordered one of the Aliexpress U47 FET bodies (as well as D-47fET PCBs (round version)). The mic body is currently on its way from China.

Well, I see other wiring option, less "twisted". If the internals are attached to the capsule base and not to the body itself, pulling out the connector while dismounting or screwing that base solve the problem

I received the U47 FET body. The quality seems pretty nice. Can’t complain.

 

[bremusound]

Yes, i recently received a pair of these, too. The quality is better than expected!
Shipping was very fast via Fedex. Nothing to complain!

 

[Spencerleehorton]

i ordered the screw in casule mount version and ive put in one of my FET47 and works very nice, just a shame about the capsule mount screw!!

 

[Eike]

Is there a possibility to get a cheap U47 body, too?

Not “my cup of tea” these U-47 microphone (like) bodies, as these XLR output housings looks totally awful to me, but if “cheap” is what you looking for, then take a look at these U-47 (like) microphone bodies…

You could probably tap threads into the capsule mount holes and attach the capsule mount and wires last, not ideal but a work around?(I don't have this body, just a thought)
