Bock iFET

Common name: Bock Audio iFET

Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage

The IFET is a phantom-powered FET condenser mic designed to capture the high SPL handling and sound of the classic FET47.  To increase the value and versatility of the IFET, Bock added a second set of FET electronics for a second “sound”, accessed via a switch. The IFET has two different sets of electronics (Mic Amplifiers) sharing a K47 type capsule and large core specially designed Bock output transformer. These two “modes” of the Bock iFet offer two distinctly different sounds in one mic: the ideal FET mic for kick drums and a classic FET vocal mic for a wide variety of voices.The “I” Mode employs a classic high SPL Class A discrete electronic package (one FET and four transistors) with improved HF and LF extension. The “V” MODE (Vocal) is a Class A adaption of a km84 circuit offering a simpler single path (one FET). This amp has 4dB more sensitivity for lower SPL sources such as vocals.
