Flea 49 Vintage Tube Microphone – Incredible U47-Inspired Tone (Mint Condition, Includes PSU & Case)

Up for sale is my Flea 49, a high-end vintage-style large diaphragm tube condenser microphone handcrafted in the Czech Republic. This mic is Flea’s stunning recreation of the legendary Neumann M49, built with uncompromising attention to detail using premium components and meticulous engineering. It has been a go-to on countless major vocal recordings and excels on everything from lead vocals to acoustic instruments, strings, and overheads.

Condition:

This unit is in mint condition, used sparingly in a professional, smoke-free studio environment. It has never left the studio and has been stored and maintained with care. Zero functional or cosmetic issues — sounds and looks pristine.

Key Features:

• K47-style capsule — hand-assembled and voiced for warmth, depth, and musical detail
• NOS Telefunken EF800 tube — rich harmonic content and ultra-low noise floor
• Classic M49-style remote-pattern power supply — allows for seamless pattern changes from omni to cardioid to figure-8 and everything in between
• Internal components matched to original vintage specs — including the transformer and circuit topology
• Smooth top end, round low mids, and a 3D-like presence that flatters virtually any source
  

Included:

• Flea 49 microphone
• Flea power supply (pattern-selectable)
• Original 7-pin mic cable
• Shockmount
• Heavy-duty flight case
• Microphone Dust Cover

Why I’m Selling:

Thinning out the mic locker and making space. This one deserves to be used more often — it’s a masterpiece that competes with vintage Neumanns for a fraction of the price.
