New Chinese U47fet body manufacturer?

[BraFra]

After seeing some companies making U47fet with near the same body in these days, I'm curious if anybody knows the supplier of these bodies. Maybe a Chinese one? I'm thinking this just because the other model bodies supplier. If anybody knows something it would be interesting to have some infos.

I had found a trading company that could get them a while back, but the MOQ was high and so was the price... $95+ (and that's at wholesale, and before recent inflationary pressure)... once in a while I ask some of my Far East contacts to see if anyone has a beat on the actual source, but no luck so far.

Maybe a Chinese one?

It's for sure from a Chinese factory and supplier.
There's some clone Mic body suppliers in Alibaba, but I was not able to find that body.

You should contact these sellers that sell Neumann replica bodies and send them those pictures maybe they also offer that body:

95$ it's a good price, maybe we could do a group buy for the quantity. In the meantime I've asked to some Alibaba sellers. Hope to have some news.

alloitsjosh never talked about any Group Buy, he never even suggested anything in that direction.

You were the one that talked about starting a "Group Buy"

I have information that a European microphone company will have a complete U47 FET kit available in the beginning of 2022. With the microphone body as shown in the first picture!
(Not sure if they are willing to sell the microphone body separately.)

Yes I can arrange the group buy, but I don't know who is the supplier to contact, so I've asked to alloitsjosh who is to get in contact and eventually arrange the group buy.

I'll have to search my email history to see if I can find it. But just to set expectations, I remember the MOQ being something like 300 pieces. So you'd need to organize one heck of a group buy to make it happen. I will definitely post the info if I can find it, happy to support the community.

I hope that company is not "Mic & Mod"...
