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

I must say, these look very attractive. Imagine no preamps. Then we wouldn't have anything to talk about on these forums. :)

The missing KM120 fig 8 capsule is a bit of a worry though.

Hello all. I have recently purchased a set of Neumann KM184 mics and a set of Royer R-121 mics. The problem is that I can really only keep one set, but I don't know which ones to choose. Obviously they both have their own sound and ideal purpose. Can anyone please give me some advice on this? Is there a good reason to keep all of them? Thanks much!

I am currently looking for a really nice mic to invest in. I would like to keep the price low but for nice I know that really isn't a option. I used a mic at a friends studio a while back for synths and vocals called the Neumann u47. It was made somewhere around the 50's. I am trying to find something of similar variety. Does anyone happen to know anything about RODE mics?

Hello All,

Wondering if anyone can help me find a M62 Capsule for a Neumann 582 mic.

Many thanks in advance

Apemancoz

my price range is around $700-$800 and i am looking for either of these or any mic in this price range used. i run a small home studio right now in my home and i am looking to finally step into the world of owning a good large diaphragm mic for vocals. i use a KSM32 right now and i personally think its too multi-functional for really good vocals.

My pride and joy (U87 w/ Klause Heynes mod) is distorting any time it's being pushed with loud vocals. I've tried different pre's, cables, and other mics and everything is pointing to my Neumann. (my other mics sound great) Is there a certain way I should try the switches / configuration on the U87. Right now both switches on the back of the mic are "Open". Not sure...

Can someone tell what the big deal is about the KM84 vs KM814? Why do the 84's sell for so much more money? Is it due to supply and demand since the 84s are no longer made or is there really that big of quality difference between the newer and older versions?

I appreciate any/all comments from those who have done the a/b with both models...

Thanks!
