Soyuz sounds smoother.
@@DailyRiot Yes! The transformer definitely adds a nice element of smooth distortion.
Hello. Did you compared Avalon 737 hardware and UAD plugin version?
@@DawahProject Here: th-cam.com/video/qgATJZJeufQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RAIWNhwoEStyEM8S
I'll take your word for it and pick a pair up tomorrow. Great review👌🏾
Have you ever needed to use DeEsser?
@@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk Yes I use them all the time for music production. However, this is a RAW mic test for mic comparison purposes, and so no post processing (including a DeEsser) was used for this video. Essentially, this video is meant to exhibit the true RAW nature of this microphone without any interference of post-processing.

Hi friend i have a qustion . İ have a motu m2 and tlm 103 i want your opinion abote that i need art tube mp/c with that russian sovtek or no ? Pleas please please answer me 🙏🙏🙏
@@lyricsstation5680 I have a pair of art tube mp/c preamps and they definitely make any mic sound smoother, more vintage-like. They do bless the mic with a pleasant tube goodness. The Avalon 737 is better, though the art tube amps are no joke either. Follow the link below to find out more on this: th-cam.com/video/uCQKRAvcqlI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uOqgOZcNgtLHV4cc

I really need your helps .whit my prays for you 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
I have not enough money for Avalon 737🙏
@@lyricsstation5680 Well, your original question was specifically regarding the art tube preamp. In the case of this particular question, I’d like to point your attention to the video linked here: th-cam.com/video/L6kppTDHUM0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mvHGpW9IYClyiePI The Soyuz Launcher is not that expensive. You can buy a used one for a few hundred dollars. It should give your mic a nice transformer sound, and your TLM 103 should sound more similar to that of the U87.

What do you mean shotgun mic?
@@cassandrahuskey8866 A shotgun mic is usually a long and slim vocal mic for video recording. It is mostly super cardioid so as to pick up vocal sound from a distance.
So if your recording in your computer/DAW , are you using this mic as both for vocals and guitar?
@@cassandrahuskey8866 This particular setup is for allowing a mic to be plugged into the guitar input of an guitar amp or the HiZ input of an interface.
I am SUPER EXCITED TO COME ACROSS THIS...HOWEVER, forgive me for being repetative...but maybe its termanology that is tripping me up. Please tell me what I need to do to attain the following : I play electric guitar and use my fender mustang amp wich i plug my guitar into. I have Scarlett 4i4 audio interface plugged into my laptop, I have Cubase pro 13 DAW. I used an XLR cable to plug in my amp to my interface,input 1 and plugged in my microphone to input 2. When recording in my DAW, vocals very loud, can barely hear guitar,even tho volume is high and I am essentially in a closet... What am I doing wrong? Please help
@@cassandrahuskey8866 Hi. Is your guitar input set to HiZ? Is it manual or automatic on the scarlet?
what shockmount is that?
@@libbyssubs6938 It’s a cheap plastic one that I sometimes reach for.
You U 87 vintage sounds best.
@@HarvinderSingh-yy8th Yes! I THINK SO TOO!
You have to get the CAD e70 Microphone! I have had the TLM 103, and the KSM 141, and many more and surprisingly the CAD e70 sounds perfect on voice! Only 3 videos on TH-cam exists with the CAD e70 being used on voice... Which left me a little hesitant but I believe that is sounds better than any mic I have ever used and it would go great with your voice too! Check it out and if you do get it I would love to see your review of it. I love mine.
@@BalisongFlipping I’ll have to check them out. Thank you.
I have the U87ai Which preamp would you recommend? Neve 1073 or Avalon? What’s the best alternative for the vintage U87? Ksm32? Thanks
@@MurnerJoel In my opinion, the Avalon is a better fit for the U87, making it sound like silk. The Neve makes an already hot mic even hotter. EV RE20 is a good alternative option with a transformer based preamp (from a Soyuz Launcher to a Neve).
I think only GTZ U87 do the job done.
@@HarvinderSingh-yy8th Why would Lady Gaga use an SM-58 to sing live at the Oscars when she could use any mic? The SM-58 is the king of stage. The U87, arguably the king of studio. All depends on who you ask. Both great, with different applications and price tags. The SM-58 is magic in the studio with a C-Suite C-Vox™ Noise & Ambience Reduction UAD plugin, to eliminate self noise. Awesome vintage tone.
C414 XLS OR TLM 103 YOU LIKE MORE AND WHY ?
@@user-mr3nn3bx5f TLM-103 with Avalon 737sp for silky vocals, and XLS with Neve 1073 for classic vocals. Both great, doing their own thing..
Will this work if I plug into a guitar pedal then into a guitar amp?
@@tjhavens7947 It should work!
Too many sibilants on u87ai?... Isn't TLS103 have much more this problem? I've bought u87ai exactly because of my TLM103 have too many high on my bright voice (I'am a voiceover artist).
@@DawahProject That is the very reason why I prefer the vintage U87 over the U87ai or the TLM-103. A good De-esser can reduce the issue as well.
Nice review. I am a singer/songwriter and also exploring mixing on my own. I am interested in upgrading my mic and very much interested in the KSM32. Would it be possible for you to send me the raw individual tracks (or make the tracks available for download) including vocal track of any song which you recorded with this mic ? It will help me explore and understand better by trying out my own mix, specially the problem mentioned in the other comments on this video about the vocals not sitting in a mix. Thanks.
Sorry, I did not keep any vocal recordings with this mic as they got erased in the recording process due to the sheer lack of uselessness in any intricate mix. If you are I terested in an upgrade, I sincerely recommend thr UAD Sphere LX due to it's sound and versatility. Of course, the DLX would give you even more options. The SHURE KSM32 is more of a one trick pony! Can work on guitar cabins, and are great on overheads.
Sam the record man, Saturday mornings they would have a new album on special for $2.00. We had a Sam the record man in Thunder bay. Big headed Tod and the Monsters are a great band I recently found.
@@fixedbypaul Yes! That's it! Thank you! I put that in the subtitles. It sure was great sifting through all those records. 👍Those were truly the good old days.
Singing raw with no processing the order would be.... Vintage 87, TLM -103, 87ai, TLM - 102...In a mix with light compression and proper reverb I am sure it would be this order....Vintage 87, U87ai, TLM-102, TLM - 103. My buddy who is a tenor has a TLM -102 and he sounds amazing all day long on it and he sounds unnatural with the TLM -103. I am a baritone and for spoken word I use my TLM -103 all day long. The high end evens out my voice across the whole mic. I can't describe it. it sounds amazing. For Pop, crooner and soft vocals I use the TLM -103. For Rock or loud vocals like Pearl Jam, Creed or Godsmack (to name a few) I use my AKG C414 XLII because with the 40hz cut my voice is spot on. I hope this can help out a fellow high range Baritone. I watched your separate videos on the TLM-102 , 103...TLM 102 needs a room that is sound treated and the 103 seemed mostly fine out of the box. Of course treated rooms are optimal for any serious studio. The Vintage mic you have is absolutely amazing. The U87ai sounds very "BOXY" to me. I am almost scared to pull the trigger on a 3700 dollar U87ai and might opt to go with a Soyuz FET17 instead at 2/3rds the price. But who am I kidding I love Nuemanns so I am sure I would end up with the U87ai...but like you have commented elsewhere the 3700 dollars is better used elsewhere in a better Compressor, Preamp, audio interface chain.
Thank you for the well detailed comment. It is very much appreciated. 🎛️🎚️🎙️+❤️=📀
First review of this microphone, I gave a thumbs up to great review and it’s nice that you added a little history behind it. Also well done.
I appreciate the positive feedback.
db is a logarithmic scale so 18 db is like 87% less power than 27db
-9 dB is approx. -65% IMHO
is sound quality the same with the europen version ?
I bought mine in Asia but I assume the European version would be identical since they all run on batteries and not off of the electrical grid. The charging units needed for them would have to be different since the voltage and amperage are different in different parts of the world.
I tried my friend's xlr to instrument, it sounded so quiet my speaking voice was way louder. Thanks for the video.
I am glad to have helped.
do they make an adapter that is not for XLR but actually just a 1/4"
To make such an adapter would require a legitimate need for it. What specific need would that fulfill? Would it be for an older mic with a 1/4" plug?
Amazingly bright and clear mic! 🎙️
It’s one of my favorites.
If I can tell me SM86 bs Beta 58. What’s your opinion for male singer at church. I feel like 86 good for female due to toned highs
Why doesn’t your church buy them both? They aren’t that much of an investment. Then you could have either or. Often times vocalists prefer one over the other. After all, voices are so subjective; one mic might compliment a certain voice more than another, depending on their vocal characteristics. Moreover, it’s hard to know for sure unless you really try them both on a certain voice. Nonetheless, with that being said, I personally would get the SM86 if I was really pressed to make a single choice. I love my SM58 the most though. It’s so much more organic and vintage sounding. Disclaimer: That’s merely my individual preference.
@@ZPJ_Studio Thanks. Will get both and see.
Great expose. Thank You!
I appreciate the positive comment!
❤❤ great video, thank you
Thank you!
Have a really detail and harsh sound, i think it may works great on the streets on a loud space.
Every mic has its own application, and thank goodness for that. All the more reason for a nice mic locker.
👍🏻
Thanks a lot for your great videos which are great keep going 🙏 👍, i have an ART preamp connected to the focusrite scarlett 2i2 Gen3 and want to upgrade my interface because i feel the sound coming out of it is thin 🥶 what's your recommendation.
Thank you! … What is your price bracket? That is, how much are you willing to spend? As I explained in the video, an inline Soyuz Launcher at the $200 price range, an SSL VHD (500) or WA73 at the $300-500 price range. A Neve 1073 LB (500) at the $1,000+ price range.
plautus here. I own a Rode Nt1, but i find it muddy sounding. I am looking for a natural sounding mic that sounds clear but not sibilant or overly bright. Any recomendations?
Try the SHURE SM7B or the SM58. They won’t break the bank.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻
Get both. Studio gadgets that every Studio needs.
That’s right! You can never have ‘too much’ gear, only ‘not enough’! You never know when you may need something, so it’s best to have it, and it never asks to eat.
The Phantom eats 48v. Yummy
hi man, a friend gave me this mic and i also have a scarlett 2i2 but i feel like that the vocals are really not intense and whatever i do like speak really close compress or add a software pre amp it always feels like it is not intense and present, i dont know if i just need a reel pre amp or if the mic have a probleme. When i listen to your video i feel like yours is better because mine have less hi freqencies and feel very boxy....
my friends want me to mix vocals and always make me listen to a song name damso - pyramide and i always try to match the intensity of the vocals but it doesnt work ...i dont know if its the mic or if i need a pre amp...
There is nothing wrong with your mic or setup. It’s the nature of this mic. Not very present. So it’s good for overheads as it tames the harsh nature of cymbals and snares. It’s a good standalone mic for a solo vocal track, but forget putting the track in a mix. The vocals get lost.
@@ZPJ_Studio Thank you very much 👌👌
I loved the sound of all them 😂😂 i think TLM 102 lacking in the low end
Yes. So true!
Thanks! Really helpful:)
