The O.P.R Plan 4 FET

When the 47 FET arrived in the early 1970s, it wasn’t nostalgia — it was evolution.

The original tube 47 had already become legend. But studios were getting louder. Drums were bigger. Bass amps were angrier. Engineers needed a microphone that could take punishment and still sound like a record.

So the tube gave way to FET.
Tighter low end. Faster transient response. Greater consistency.
Control without compromise.

The 47 FET became the quiet hero of control rooms everywhere — kick drum, bass cab, brass, rock vocals. It wasn’t glamorous. It was dependable. It worked.

The O.P.R Plan 4 FET carries that spirit forward — while offering something more.

For the first time, you can choose between two distinct sonic signatures:

  • O.P.R K4-T7 (K47-Style) Capsule

  • O.P.R EM-7 (M7-Style) Capsule

Both hand-built here in Australia.

The Sound

Think:
Big, controlled low end.
Forward mids that place a vocal exactly where it belongs — without begging.
Detail without brittleness.
Authority without hype.

A microphone that tells the truth — and does it with weight.

It earns its place in the mix.
