i m a big fan of all those vintage mics
i had the chance to record with some of the best and most expensive mics in the world but would not want to spend the money to buy one of them today because they are rather expensive
i m looking for the best or closest copy/clone of a
u87
u67
u47 '
and few others from ther brands i can t think of.

Is the AT4050 a Japanese copy of the Neumann?

They seem very similar in many ways. I'm curious about the coloration between the two. I own an AT4040.

The intent is putting a multi-pattern mic on my wish list.
