Hi,

I narrowed down my quest for a good vocal mic to these two - they fit my budget well and both are supposed to sound very good and got good reviews and have an acclaimed brandname.
Which one would you go for? The mic will go in either the Preamps of a Trident 65 or a Joemeek VC1Q. I am looking for a full and close sound, with a fine and detailed top-end.

Someone lent me a U89i, so I was wondering how does it differ from the U87? I don't own a U87, but I'll be having the U89i for a while. I tried to do a little search on my own, but haven't been able to find anything yet. apart from that it is a bit smaller than U87...

anyone have a particular preference, esp. on male vocals?

thanks

Anybody out compared the M269 and U67. From what I understand the tubes a bit brighter and the M269 has a little less distortion. My application would be primarily female vocals with sparse arrangements in a ballad context (brazillian and ambient music). I'm sure they vary from mic but I'd love to hear any user feedback on these. The elam is way out of my ballpark. thanks.

I've been (unsuccessfully) looking for a matched pair of vintage KM84 mics, which no one seems to have.

Considering how many of these have been sold I wouldn't think it difficult at all to find a pair somewhere, but so far - nothing! I see loads of U87's, 67's etc - all the large diaphragm stuff, but no 84's.

I am considering expanding my mike locker with a Neumann USM-69i. Anyone have experiences with this mike?

Aslo, does this mike need a special external power supply?

thanks,

Steven

I am thinking of expanding my mike locker and am exploring the possibility of getting the Neumann USM-69i.

Anyone with experiences with this mike?

thanks,

On stage, in-studio, non-vocal apps...

Any reports/comments/opinion appreciated...

Neumann came out with a re-issue of the U67 in 1991. How does it compare sonically to the original U67?

I cant seem to come up with much info on this mic.
I'm considering buying it for the studio, yet the price is making me a bit suspicious.

Asuming the mic is in good condition is there anybody who can tell me more about it.

I had a U67 that I sold. Would that be close
to discribing this mic?
