Lo uso desde hace aproximadamente 7/8 meses. Lo que más me gusta es neutralidad y la reproducción de la voz muy fiel. Este micro no coloreará tus tomas sonoras. Mi estilo es rap/rnb y, al principio, me costó un poco porque buscaba un micro bastante coloreado que daba un grano más parecido al 103, pero exagerado. Después de algunas gr...
I'm going to start off by saying that, if I were in the market to buy this mic new ($1100), there are many others I'd be looking at in its price range; however, for the price you can get them on the used market, they're fairly well priced. People complain a lot about how these have a brittle high end - I get that. I'm not going t...
I recommend you try this with your own setup against your favorite shure/akg/whatever and make sure it's to your liking. Not everyone will think the 105 is worth the cash. Personally I think it is but we're speaking about diminishing returns here. As far as reliability I have never had an issue but I baby the 3 I have. I've used them elsewhe...
The Neumann TLM 193 sounds to me much like the U87, although it is a slightly different sound and definitely has it's own place in the studio. I only had a chance to use a set of these recently at a major studio. We used them as room mics. We were recording drums in the live room and I think that these mics did an awesome job of capturing tha...
This microphone sounds great. Well really, it sounds like nothing. It sounds totally transparent. Whatever you put into this mic will come out on the same on the recording. Because of this I don't always like using it on certain applications. For example, it sounds great on vocals but if the singer doesn't sound great it will show up on the reco...
I really enjoy using these microphones in the studio as drum overheads. They are a very pristine-sounding microphone. It worked incredibly with great high-end detail as well as clarity in picking up the entire kit. With a good EQ you can use these to get a wide variety of sounds out of different instruments. Another good use for this is for stri...
The Neumann TLM 170 is exactly what you'd think it would be - a super high quality condenser microphone. I've only used it on a handful of occasions, but every time I have I've been impressed with the sound. I've only tried it on vocals, which I do believe is what it's bested suited for. It's got a smooth response and picks up an incredible a...
I really like using these microphones as a room mic, particularly when recording a drum kit. I have found that the space and air that these mics pick up is one of their most salient features. I have tried using them as overhead mics but I found that they didn't do the kit justice compared to some of my other go-to small diaphragm condensers. I t...
There are two obvious drawbacks to this microphone; one is that you can't really use it outside of the studio, due to how fragile it is (they haven't made new ones in quite some time). The other is the price, which nowadays is a small fortune at best. These are extremely rare. If you own a studio and you have the chance to buy one of these micro...
While not on par with many of the other Neumann microphones, the UM 57 is a great microphone in it's own right. Perhaps it doesn't compare to the U 47 or U 67, but it does share the same capsule as the 47 and can be somewhat likened to this mic. While I don't believe that this is as good a sounding microphone as the 47, the UM 57 has a thick s...
