United Studio Technologies UT FET47

At the core of the UT FET47's capsule, which was designed from the ground up by Eric Heiserman specifically for this microphone and has a cardioid polar pattern, is a pair of matched all-brass backplates. To give this microphone its authentic sound, United has chosen high-quality Cinemag transformers that are manufactured in California and feature a "striped core" of interleaved sets of high nickel and steel laminations. The transformer design is also humbucking and thus ensures clean, quiet operation. The UT FET47 has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, superior to that of many other models of a similar design. The rear side of the microphone houses a pair of switches, one for the 75Hz high-pass filter which suppresses solid-borne background noise, and one for the -10dB pad function for loud sound sources.

United Studio Technologies is based in the town of Baton Rouge in the US state of Louisiana and was founded in 2018 by Chad Kelly and John “Cave” Daughdrill, both of whom brought with them two decades of development experience in the professional audio sector. While Chad previously worked for both large and small manufacturers of professional audio equipment and constructed his own high-quality devices in his spare time, John was employed as a creative director, graphic designer, industrial designer, illustrator, and copywriter for a series of renowned manufacturers. The first microphone that the two partners developed was the UT FET47, which makes classic vintage-style sounds available at an affordable price. United Studio Technologies also places great value on authenticity when it comes to the products it develops in cooperation with other audio engineers, and the company’s mission is to constantly exceed its customers’ expectations in terms of price-performance ratio.
