neumann tlm 193

Description
The Neumann TLM 193 is a large diaphragm microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. The microphone uses a transformerless circuit, featuring extremely low self noise and large dynamic range. The polar response is very linear over a wide incidence angle.

Should a Neumann TLM 193 be this dark?

I owned this mic in 1998 for a while and bought one again in 2014. I always thought it was good, plus it allowed investment in Neumann technology, which was otherwise well outside my budget - and still is. However, I find it extremely dark on vox (and instruments) and am certain a mic of this accuracy and calibre shouldn't be.

Howdy,

Who here owns or makes frequent use of MKH40's ? What is your favorite application for them? I am wondering if they are ok for use as a main pair or at least for emphasizing a section or solist. How would you compare them to TLM193's in similar applications?

I'm curious to hear from folks who've used them extensively.

thanks,
