Has anyone purchased a Neumann TLM127 mic yet? How does it compare to it's bigger siblings ie: the M149 tube mic, & U 87 mics? Does it have any noticable coloration to it? What's it's personality like? Is this a decent mic worth purchasing?

These LOOK like a M147 and an M149. I could live life w/o a M149, but something that sounds like a real M147 would be great. anyone had much experience with the new school Neumann?

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.

I just upgraded to a Neumann TLM 103 mic and now I want to get a better preamp to go with it. I have an ART Tube MP preamp, which sounds better than my Mackie pre’s. The most important thing for us is to get a good sound for female lead vocals, as my wife is the songwriter and generally sings the lead.

What is the difference in these two models? Which is "Better"? I've seen both for around $1500 used. These mics seem to be a standard (along with their more expensive relatives) in good studios, but are they really worth the cash, or are there less expensive mics that sound "as good" or "better" than the U87?

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has used the Neumann PMV-70 mic preamp or the W495 EQ? If so how do you think they stack up to the Neve, API or Trident units? Or are they in that league at all?
Best Wishes, jules

Is the Neumann m149 the best vocal studio microphone, in the world ?

what is or opinion ?

thanks

Is any one here going to participate in this contest? I spent most of my day yesterday answering the questions. I thought it was very interesting. I especially enjoyed the audio samples questions.. Kurt

Greetings to all,

Has anyone worked with the Neumann SM 69?
