Product Description
The FLEA Microphones The Action Mic Bundle includes one FLEA 47, one FLEA 12 and one FLEA 49.
Flea 49
The FLEA 49 is our replica of Neumann M49 microphone. All mechanical parts are authentic replicas. The FLEA 49 is fitted with the F7 capsule – our replica of the legendary M7 capsule. Another important part is the transformer which is our replica of the transformer used in M49 mics. Last but not least is the tube, carefully selected for noise reduction. The full set includes the microphone in wooden box, PSU, and cable.

The F7 capsule is an exact clone of the M7 capsule.
Flea 12
The FLEA 12 is an exact replica of the AKG C12. It is equipped with Tim Campbell's CT12 capsule - a great choice if you are considering the clones of original CK12. The tube is a GE 6072 in five-star version which is minimally noisy and microphonic. These tubes were produced especially for military purposes and were used in the original C12. The transformer is our own replica of the original. The FLEA 12 comes standard with modern-style power supply with integradted pattern switch. Vintage-style PSU and dedicated pattern-selector box are available for an addition cost, upon request.
In some applications, this mic will seem somewhat neutral, but its benefits will surely stand out during mix-down. It is a fantastic choice for vocals, acoustic instruments and ambient miking.

Flea 47
The FLEA 47 is designed to be a superb replica of the U47. It is equipped with an F7 capsule – our replica of the M7 capsule – our replica of BV8 transformer and Telefunken EF12 tube. Of course, the price depends on the type of tube. Those of you who have knowledge of prices know that the price of a good VF14 tube can reach 1,500€, so it is obvious that this mic is not a cheap thing. But this mic is possible to use for almost everything and always sounds great! The body is duraluminium and is nickel plated. The grille is available in two versions: glossy chrome or matte nickel. The whole set includes the mic in wooden box, cable, shock mount and power supply. You can choose from two PSUs, modern or vintage-style (modern PSU is standard, vintage-style by request).
