[@eaglerayrob]

Great sounding mic! Thanks for another excellent review.

[@TheRecordist]

I agree! And you’re very welcome!

[@EnglishEloquenceMoscow]

Thank you Ned! Fantascic review, as always. Keep it up brother.

[@TheRecordist]

Hey thanks very much! Cheers!

[@SoundsLikeCornwall]

Brilliant video, as ever. Thank you.

[@TheRecordist]

Thanks so much!

[@dannylightning-audio-reviews]

Great Review, Sounds Nice, i hear something weird on the SSSSSS sounds sometimes tho.

[@TheRecordist]

I assure you that’s not the mic. That’s my mouth.

[@Dan_Mahoney]

I just put up a video recording drums with the Dachman stuff! I wonder what they are making next. Great vid as usual here!

[@TheRecordist]

Woo hoo! I watched it and it’s sounding fantastic! Well done!

[@doggerpond]

Fab channel! Quick question… what mic pre are you using and is it the same as the one used for the DA 87i video? Thanks!

[@TheRecordist]

Hey thanks! I used the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II recorder for both mics. It’s incredibly clean with really high-end preamps. Cheers!

[@doggerpond]

@ Super! I own 2 DA87i and hesitated with the FET47. But hearing it on your channel is making me reflect seriously on getting one. The difference is stunning :) Thanks again

[@TheRecordist]

@ hey no worries! I love both mics. Since I’ve been using the FET 47, I’ve noticed how similar to a modern U87i it sounds. Really great mic!

[@ubir9743]

Awesome thanks for sharing this new review! Would say this is a good option for recording vocal readings (books for amazon) or shall I go with a schoeps cmc641 for a more natural effect? Thanks!

[@TheRecordist]

Hey mo worries! Well, small diaphragm condenser mics wouldn’t be my top choice for audio books. Large diaphragm condensers are the preferred choice. If it was between the cmc641 and the DA FET 47, I’d pick the DA FET 47. That would be my preferred choice. Yours may differ.

[@stalkingcats]

Hey wich preamp have you used?

[@TheRecordist]

Hey there. This was recorded using the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II recorder with no other preamps. It’s a clean pre and I’ve used it for all my mic review unless otherwise stated in the video.

[@mattytwohatsmusic]

You have a good voice man! This mic may just be a little too mid-forward for you (in my humble opinion.) But I really enjoy your voice and songs - I could literally buy anything you review. Party.

[@TheRecordist]

Hey thanks! And I agree. I have a mid-forward voice and this accentuates it. However, on a voice not so mid-forward, this mic will kick serious ass. I love it. Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@quietpersona]

Great review!!!! You say in the video that it's $599 and your video was just posted 13 hours ago. According to their website it's $799. Did you shoot the video a while ago or did they have a sale going on?

[@TheRecordist]

Hey thanks so much! Are you viewing from the USA? When you click on the DA FET 47, a pop up window should come up and you enter your name and email to save $100. It gives you a secret code. I checked and it auto-reduces for me by $100 USD, and then with the secret code, you get an additional $100 off.

[@quietpersona]

@@TheRecordist thanks!!

[@superzro1]

It was $599 during pre-order and for a while after it started shipping. But normal price is $799.

[@TheRecordist]

@ yes. Exactly. But currently $599 once again.

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

Their website throws in a $100 discount code at times.

So... This morning I half awoke from a crazy dream, mumbling incoherently... “da, da da, fet, fet fetish...TPS, TPS, video” ... My wife was shaking me, trying to jolt me out of my stupor. “Wake up, wake up!,” she shouted, “You’re having a bad dream, you’re stammering, not making sense.” “Stammering, stammering,” I mumbled, half aware. Suddenly, my mind snapped awake. “That’s it, honey, stammering! STAM! I was dreaming that I was about to purchase the Dachman DA FET 47 but it was a nightmare because I had not yet received my pre-ordered STAM SA-87i!” “Damn straight,” she said. “You know the rules. Only one mic at a time! Give me that credit card!”

[@TheRecordist]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@windpeoples]

Ned, weren't you a silent movie star? Are you into mics now? Awesome!

[@TheRecordist]

Hahaha. You know it!

[@KristianDowling]

Nice sound, however since listening to you on the Atlantis, nothing compares. Goes to show as great as the last it, it can be bettered, and it only highlights just how special Lauten are, by not trying to recreate the wheel like everyone else.

[@TheRecordist]

Yep. You’re absolutely right. The Atlantis is a very special mic. Agreed. The Dachman DA FET 47 is also a very good mic, and will be a top (and much more affordable) choice for a lot of people. But on my voice, the Atlantis is king. Now, I wonder how I’ll like the Eden!

[@northcoaststudios]

I don't know, Ned, but I think you are wearing the wrong hat? And I can hear you.... ;) If this was made right from the original Neumann schematics, is there any patent issues?? I trust the patent is expired? Of course it sounds great! You appear to be like me when it comes to a pocket knife. They are just too handy to not have on you. You seem to have come to the same conclusion as I have as to size and style. You also never know just what else you would be using it for......such as audio adjustments.

[@TheRecordist]

Hey, man! Hahaha. Oh yes. The wonderful Three Amigos! I’m not sure about patents, but I think Dachman is safe because they’re not the only ones doing this exact same replica. No one else get sued. Great question though! Oh yes. I must have a pocket knife! I’ve had that one for 20 years or so! I’ve used it in a pinch more times than I can count! Audio adjustments too!
