you're right. I was watching it at 0.25 speed between 0:10 and 0:11, there is a short frame where half of the mic is not blurred. seems to be the MXL 2006. definitely not the NT1A.

Really, I know that about cheap mics :,D you can play with the EQ but never fix the harsh highs, I just love that on my electric guitar on high gain, but not on the voice. That last phrase, the perfect definition for the perfect microphone.
It's all subjective, but I definitely feel like they should have gotten a louder vocalist, or instructed this one to do a louder song, because I feel like that's one of the biggest challenges in recording -- properly capturing loud, booming vocals. Which brings up the question, why do they have no acoustic treatments or foam on the wall? It appears that room would create some natural reverb with the stone walls and hard floors. I've always been told that you want the dryest signal possible, and a loud vocalist would probably create all sorts of reflections in that room.
well, I even tried comparison of HSMC001 (cost about 50€) vs vintage U87 (value at least 2500€) and when mixed into the whole rock song, the difference wasn't that groundbreaking, I think as sound engineer it's really important to listen and hear what's going on :)
Thank you so much for the videos! My first mic I ever bought was a neumann 107 and i'm currently saving for a u87ai and a pair of km 184's. It's funny how you blurred that one microphone out though, haha.
coudl you have picked a worse song to have repeated over and over again ?? Im sure there was some good informatoin here but I couldnt get past the song

Georg Neumann and Co. made the famous CMV-3 "Bottle" for Hitler. It was deisgend for delivering not just impact of his speech, but his emotions as well. It was an abstract concept to deliver "human emotions" before the Neumann's invention of the mic in 1928. No wonder Neumann is so good at it.
loving these videos! I've just started on my journey of home studio recording, I have bought a fairly cheap microphone (mxl440) to get started, I didn't want to splash out until I knew what I was doing. Thanks again
Hi Phill, thank you for your feedback! We are glad that our tutorials are helpful for you. More tutorials will follow soon. In the mean time, feel free to visit our new website www.neumann.com/homestudio/ Have a great day!
The mic that is blurred is the MXL 2006. The MXL 2006 is known to have a brighter sound if you simply look at the frequency response. It's wrong to assume that all cheap condensers will have this bright sound. Also, we all know that female vocalist require a warmer sounding microphone and the MXL 2006 obviously isn't that. I am betting that the MXL 2006 was chosen because of its overly bright charterctiristcs in order to exaggerate the effect of overly bright microphones. Its not even the most common condenser microphone, I would say the most common is the RODE NT1A or the Audio Technica. If you chose any other mic, Rode NT1A, AT2020, MXL CR89, Gensis, etc, the difference will not be as obvious. There will be differences and I know the Neumann mic will def sound more smooth but not as obvious. I am not saying the TLM103 is a bad microphone because it's a great microphone but not all of us can afford it and exaggerating the difference between a cheaper condenser with an expensive one by purposely finding a super bright cheap condenser makes all of us feel like we can't record with anything but expensive condensers.
Hi Pablo, have a look at our microphone finder here: en-de.neumann.com/microphones and filter "Jazz/Classical" vocals. You'll then see all the mics we recommend!
I wouldn't have probably even thing of buying a Neumann Mic (or an expensive mic in general) before I watched this.. But now that my TLM 102 replaced all the other crap mics I had, I feel I listen I sing that I did the right thing. ( I sound like a commercial lol )
Hi John, thanks for your very nice feedback! We are glad to hear that you like our tutorials and are satisfied with the TLM 102. Have fun and keep recording!
which neumanns are they using? can't tell if the bigger one is a tlm49 and a smaller is one is tlm103? Or is the bigger on the 103 and smaller one the 102??
Hi Kyle, The first microphone is the TLM 103. The second mic, which is pixelated on purpose, is a cheap third party microphone presented for sound comparability reasons. The third mic is the TLM 102. Have a great day!
Great advices! What about setting an Home Studio with a Neumann u87 Ai linked to a Focusrite Clarett 2Pre? Those preamps are good enough for rocking the Neumann u87 Ai?
What's the difference in condenser, dynamic, and ribbon. I'm just starting to record beginner ! What microphone do you recommended ? Apogee 96k? I'm at home recording !

Hi feLine, Most vocal screens are not perfectly absorbing, but reflecting sound a little as well. This reflections may color the mic’s sound. So in rooms with good acoustic behavior (as the one we shoot our videos in) and no need to reduce unwanted room sound you often get better results when working without these screens. Please stay tuned. More tutorials will follow soon. In the mean time, feel free to visit our new website www.neumann.com/homestudio/en/

Hi QAIS56, The Apogee Duet preamps are excellent, so there is no need for an external preamp. It might be an option to use one, if you want to color your sound in a special way, e.g. with a tube preamp. Have a great day!
Are you serious??? xDDDD Configure-ate??? What did it eat? xDDD I get that you are new at this and that you can make mistakes but how the hell did you actually believe it was configure-ate? xDD
derKampfschimmel Education is NOT what it use to be, just wait till the Common Core Educated crowd hits this world. Maybe my comment went over his head? No thx no thumbs up? Well I tried to help.
Watchman4u I remember when I started producing... I was lucky enough to have a friend and I'm proud to say mentor that was actually producing for 20 years at the time. He taught me a lot but he still required me to learn most by myself and there weren't that much videos out there and most definitely nobody wanted and most still won't make their knowledge public. If somebody like you comes along and helps a newby out, the least he can do is to thank you.
It's fine as long as you record a single instrument at a time. But for anything else I recommend a mic with different characteristics. Cardioid for example is only useful if you use it on a single instrument/vocal at a time. If you want to record more instruments/vocals at a time I'd recommend a mic with a omni directional characteristic. But the NT1a is more in the lines of the cheaper microphones they showed in the video. If you want a really good sound you have to upgrade to something like the TLM-Series but they are expensive so I have to stick with cheaper ones as well :P
gebraucht habe ich das tlm 102 für 350 EUR, tlm 103 für 600 EUR (mit neumann spinne) gekauft. hatte das nt1a zuvor, es schnell wieder verkauft, tlm 102 gekauft, auch verkauft, tlm 103 gekauft und bisher nie bereut.
that is just not true. Metallica using sure , small diaphragm....sounds awesome. So, its about the voice talent. That mic in the video was too sibilant.
Lol 👍🏻 I remember a recording engineer saying: I always put up a large diaphragm mic to make the singer feel comfortable, then put a small diaphragm next to it to capture the actual sound. 😂
Your jeans make me feel you are a dull company man. This is the problem with corporate types they must pay for coolness because they neglect it by brown nosing their direct manager.
I have never heard such marketing mumbo-jumbo in all my life. He completely contradicts himself by saying that both mics “colour the sound” and yet you want something that’s natural! By doing a direct comparison with a mic that costs about £900 less, he’s convinced me that the difference is negligible….. this is clearly aimed at people who have more money than sense and who live in ginormous houses with huge stone walled rooms 😂
that blurred mic appears to be rode nt1a and Im pretty confident about it :P
yep, harshness in higher freq and overblown low end. amateurs tend to love that. I've been hating the nt1a, liking the tlm 102 and loving the tlm 103.
Thought the same thing! Sounds all high and hissy like an NT1 too.
Wait no, it's an MXL 2006. The grille basket is much too tall to be an NT1. Plus the MXL is legit cheap.
you're right. I was watching it at 0.25 speed between 0:10 and 0:11, there is a short frame where half of the mic is not blurred. seems to be the MXL 2006. definitely not the NT1A.
😭
is the mic blurred because it's x-rated? Lol, sorry, I couldn't help myself!

Because they don’t wanna be rippin’ on it
Why do we have to Configure-ate all microphones. That's so much money ! And how do we configure-ate
It's Figure of 8 aka Fig 8 . There's also - Omni , Card… thats the pattern pick ups set on the mic determines how it hears the source.
