I have a Shure KSM 44 mic. $799.97
I am thinking about a Neumann TLM 49. $1,499.00
My preamp is a Vintech x73i

Here is my question. Will I hear a noticeable improvement in recording to justify the extra expense? Thank-you 8)

P.S. sorry didn't see the other thread I could have posted under.

Hey everyone,

I have a home studio that is mainly used for voice-over work...ie commercials, imaging for radio stations, etc.

Currently I am using a Neumann TLM49 paired with a dbx 286A mic preamp.

I try to find a "perfect match" for voice-overs, narration, spoken word stuff in terms of choosing right mic with appropriate preamp. My choice is narrowed to those mics and preamps mentioned in title. Phantom C & GR ME1NV / Neum TLM49 & j.Hardy M1-or other way around ..? And unfortunatly I can't try those by myself.

Any help is more than welcome.

Cheers,

Sven
