U67 over TLM 67...but I’m not paying that much for a mic. The u87 has too much air in the top end. The 67 mics still sound dull to me though. The TLM 193 is the most modern sounding mic IN EXISTENCE...plus it is very “flat” so you can really tailor your mixing to your liking.
I have used many vintage 67's and am a bit of a connoisseur . My warm audio 67 is actually good. It is the only mic I have not sent back from them. However, my Soyuz 017 is my favorite microphone, bar none. I hear the tube mod for the TLM67 us quite good. Enjoying your channel!
I think it’s more that vintage mics are OVERRATED 😂 …the prices make no sense for what you’re getting. Would love to try the TLM 67 because I’m blown away by my brand new Neumann M-149. Sounds so much better to me than the vintage Neumann U47 I rented from Blackbird, and even at $5K new it’s still 1/7 of the price of an original U47 😦
I have both a modern re-issue 67 and a TLM 67. After the re-issue burned in after about 6 months. Its pretty amazing close to the TLM. When new the U67 was brighter. You are absolutely right about the TLM. For less money and simpler maintenance the TLM is kinda hard to beat. Thanks for doing this comparison!
Dude I just watched a Neumann shootout and that mic stuck out to me amongst many vintage neumanns... next day, you upload this video. It's definitely underrated. To me, it sounds a little more usable for modern vocals because of the increased midrange response.
I have done that comparison. They are pretty darn close. The U67 changed a little from when new after a few months of use. After that the TLM and the U67 were super close.
Very similar. They did a killer job emulating it without tubes. I mostly hear a subtle midrange push on TLM but ultimately still smooth low end and high end. Impressed! 😍
The intro was the vintage U67. I heard that "sizzle" you described. It also had the transparency thing that tube mics have over FETs too. That's hard to describe because it's not a frequency or dynamic range thing. It's a clarity thing. It's very very subtle but it's there. Still, the TLM was great without a doubt. I'd like to hear a comparison between it and a U87Ai just for reference.
Thank you again Colt, i made it to the end, like every vlog of yours i'm watching at and man, they are getting even better and better!!!! Keep rocking!!!!
That's actually crazy, its the same mic for all intents and purposes. Its my favourite neumann too, I love the 67, and now its affordable for the serious modern music producer!
The shot on the two microphones in front of the acoustic guitar is *perfect*! The perfect focus on the two mic with the guitar ever so slightly out of focus looks so hot.
I've had a TLM 67 since 2009 for my home setup and it's definitely the go-to for vocals and often acoustic guitar. A female singer friend of mine sounded especially good with it. You really can't go wrong if you're looking for a centerpiece mic or something to get some of that U-67 vibe, IMO. Thanks.
I could not tell the difference between Colt or Hailey’s voice on both mics. Truly impressed me. For the acoustic comparison though, I prefer the vintage. I heard more detail in the strums and overall gave a richer and more full sound. TLM still sounded great on it. I gotta get a a TLM
This was going to be my exact comment. Hard to tell difference in the vocal...but for the guitar the Vintage brought out some real sparkle that I was missing from the modern.
Amazing mics, both of them! You should try to put them against Warm Audio’s WA67 and Advanced Audio CM67SE. From what I’ve heard, there’s as much a difference between 2 vintage U67 than between them and the real deal. It would be a very popular video I think!
Did you ever compare the TLM 67 against a U 67 Reissue? If yes, could you share your thoughts? If no, I would really appreciate if you could post a comparison of it. Thanks!
the clarity punch and separation in a mix is what counts when you stack a tune all up and start the push pull battles of comp and eq, but the money stacks up too :) vintage mics though why music is such an art and has value, then people listen back on a speaker the size of your pinky nail and mp3 ,yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaa
I'm kind of shocked at how much forward the mids are on the TLM. I think if you put a certain type of a singer on these that could really belt it out the Vintage U67 would be slightly more forgiving in the mid-range. You'd possibly use less compression. Great content as always Colt!
This is a spot on assessment. The TLM 67 with an experienced talent that knows how to self compress at the mic in combination with the TLM 67's mid compression at the capsule is a fantastic sound that requires very little help in post. Hope I said that clearly. The necessary cut is at 1.6khz, maybe a dB, but that's probably a move to make on many mics ime
Thank you for doing this video. When I first got my TLM67 there were very few decent videos about it on YT. I did prefer the sound of your U67, even before you did the reveal at the intro, but as you said, they are very close -- much closer than I thought they would be.
Great video, Colt! On the acoustic guitar example I felt the most difference between the mics. The vintage mic had a lot more robust and presence on the mids. The TLM sounded boomier and with enhanced high frequencies. It sounded hollower than the vintage in the low mids and mids. At least that's what I heard. But as you said, this is something that could be eq'ed. As far as underrated, I feel the U89 and TLM170 are probably more underrated... But they are also more expensive. Great video! Big fan.
Used both of these interchangeably in my studio for years, sometimes my vintage one is just too noisy for the source, so TLM fits the bill nicely in those cases. To me, the high end is “tougher” on the vintage tube mic, and the lows are more solid… But just by a hair.
Great comparison! The first time I used a Neumann in the studio I realized why they are so revered. All of them sound great. I have a U77 which was the model made for 1 year after the U67 with a FET and T-12 power before going to the U87 with phantom. The 77 has Same capsule as the U67 but more transparent due to being tubeless so prob similar to the TLM67? Anyway, I love the thing and very different from my Gefell UM70 (also astonishing mics which is no surprise cos they were once the same company) great work.
The TLM sounded quite a bit cleaner and a little less compressed. Did you have any eq or compression on these? If not, I would take the TLM over the U67 based on this.
No EQ or compression on my voice, or Hailey, or the acoustic guitar. And yes, I agree. Feel free to download the files, link in the description of this video. Thanks for watching!
I just switched the preamp of my tlm67 for a tube preamp. The sound is night and day different. I loved the tlm, but now the tube with power supply is louder, cleaner and sounds like a filter has been removed. New love ❤
Listened to the whole video. To my ears, the TLM67 sounds cleaner and a bit more crisp which is what I also understood you to say. I guess I don't understand the fascination with old vintage equipment. Honest question, wouldn't be better to use the newer electronic equipment and use an EQ or compression or even a plug-in to create the vintage sound for a fraction of the cost of old vintage microphones? What am I missing?
yes you can, and you dont missing anything..the u67 is just hyped... i have a pair of tlm 67 and i absolutly dont feel to upgrade them for a u67...extreemly happy
Damn, I had no clue it was that close to the original! I've had that mic for years and barely ever use it, because I have the Manley Silver, which I use on almost everything. Gonna have to revisit the 67ai
The modern one sounds very natural, but the vintage one has that something, that "catch", adding that bit of interest to the sound, over that of the modern version.
I threw it up on the screen in some text while I was downing that shot of espresso LOL. The first half of the intro was on the vintage unit, the second half after I snapped my fingers was on the TLM. Thanks for watching!
The way I look at gear is that either can get you great tone as long as you’ve got a great source and you’re a competent engineer. The difference between the two would not be the reason why something didn’t sound as good as you wanted. It reminds me of statistics class when the +/- overlaps and you say there is not statistically significant difference between the two.
The highs/mids on the U67 are so creamy. It complements the female vocals so very well, but I reckon the TLM67 would work better for deeper male voice as it has a bit more intelligibility while still retaining a smooth high-end. It's the mic I plan to get for my voice overs and will contrast my MKH416 (a brighter, more crisp mic) perfectly for different types of voice over work. I reckon this will do wonderfully for narrations and longer form content whereas the MKH416 has that punchiness which is great for certain types of commercials or corporate work I've done. Of course, I don't know for certain and I'd love to find out. It just reinforces my desire for the TLM67. Wonderful comparison, thank you.
@@FamousTVvoice Hey! I ended up getting a TLM103 because I was able to find a great deal on it several months ago so I can't really justify replacing that right now. So many microphones I'd like to try, and this is still on that list.
I totally preferred the TLM!!! I'm a huge fan of that warm mid forward sound, and smoother top end...the top end of the vintage is a bit too fizzy for my taste.
Vintage is a little smoother and the TLM has a bit more hi mids, but man that's a huge price difference. I'm sure you could match one or the other closer with a little eq tweaking. They're both tremendous. Thanks for bringing this type of content to all us vocalists/musicians who can't get enough of this stuff. I live for vocals. And have been passionately for 40 years . Only thing that KINDA sucks is now I gotta buy a TLM 67. But dam I want that vintage one!
The TLM67 sounded very good, but the vintage 67 was a cut above. I understand why it's so sought after. That said, I agree the TLM67 with some transformer weight in the signal chain and a little EQ would be quite excellent!
The Vintage is a little bit more open I think the tlm sounds great but with her singing I think she could be singing into a usb yeti and she'd sound phenomenal
even over youtube's crap audio there is a solidity and substance to the 67 that the TLM just doesn't have. The eq differences don't tell the whole story. I've yet to hear any transformerless Neumann that sounded satisfying
I think the intro was done with the TLM 67 first and at the switch, changes to the U67. The difference I noticed being a less pronounced mid range and a more "even response" after the switch. The biggest difference being the high end, though. I feel like after the switch the high end smoothes out, rolls off a bit and doesn't feel boosted, to me. Now, how wrong am I? Lol
Wow! You just sold me a tlm67! I did a blind test and prefered the tlm. I do think both are fantastic though. Maybe the u67 has a bit more character, feels a little more edgy, as if all her words were a litle more pointy in a way. Might be cool to have somethings sound more „special“. But overall i thought the tlm sounded more even and ballanced and i prefered that in the end. Very cool, especially with that price
For the price difference you can't beat it. I'm still on a sub 200.00 microphone and hope to one day afford a nice tube microphone U47 or TLM49. My journey in recording is like a newborn, but so far I've realized that getting a good sound form a guitar,bass,keyboards etc is way easier and less expensive than getting a good vocal sound which really the foundation or a good vocal sound starts with a good entry level microphone that still cost as much as most all my other instruments ,lol, but that is the nature of the desire to chase that tone,,that color.
wonderful comparison. I was getting ready to blow cash on the 67 and ran across some sphere mic samples. really don't want to contemplate buying that thing but dam they sounded so good. I know its the old debate but I had a few times I tracked some vocals and my choice in mic wasn't right, I thought it was. even after cleanup I wished I could get a "retake". some of those sphere models come really dam close.
Well, these things are very voice dependent. So there’s no way for me to guarantee that the 67 will sound better on you than the SM7, however I will say that my TLM gets used far more often than the SM7.
@@ColtCapperrune Dig it, I know an impossible question to answer...I have my sm7 boomed right over my production desk, so the convenience of zooming through a zillion harmonies is part of why im so sm7 dependent...I do weekly original stuff and lots of vocal covers: ie just did Queen, Beatles, Eagles...swing by the channel if you have the time....all the best Brother, big fan of your channel AND work ethic...if you ever need some cyber vox / harmonies would be glad to join in from New Orleans. Mike
Neumann's and 1073's are a match made in heaven, and have been since the early 70's when the 1073's were introduced. I can't imagine how that combo wouldn't sound amazing.
I bought a Peluso P67 last year and it's by far my favorite mic for vocals. Looking for a chance to try it on acoustic guitar and mandolin. The 67 design topology is excellent all around I think.
Hey man! How do you think this mic would sound on a male vocalist who sings and screams. Over a dense mix? Do you think it would capture the screams well? I’ve tried a few mics where the highs are too present with the screaming. Help!!
I was about to buy a U87ai and they had this TLM67 and I said the same thing…I’ve never heard anyone use it or talk about it. If it’s an affordable version of the $8,000 - $16,000 U67 why do more people not have it when it’s only like $2,500.
I totally agree! I absolutely love it.I do Voiceovers and this is my favorite from the 7 mics i have in my studio. Combined with a GAP pre73 premier or the UA710 is a wonder! PS. I have some tests in my channel you may find interesting.
@@ColtCapperrune admittedly my monitoring situation is pretty poor (inexpensive pair of Shure Mixing headphones atm), but even then I expected to at least hear a change
That 67 sounded scooped compared to the TLM, who know where is the **true**. The result is better on vintage for guitar and i would prefer the TLM for her voice. Thanks
First I would like to say I love the quality of you videos. I remember when you kinda just started so again love the great quality you put out. Second of all the singer Haley wow she most likely sounds great on most mics. Lastly I must say I prefer the newer one. The vintage has its own mojo but not like “oh I hate one vs the other.” But I doubt I would pay the money for the vintage one.

Because the TLM67 was not in any way meant to compete with a U67. a better comparison would be with a U87ai

You can't go wrong with the TLM 67. I believe it's worth it based on the quality your capturing.
the clarity punch and separation in a mix is what counts when you stack a tune all up and start the push pull battles of comp and eq, but the money stacks up too :) vintage mics though why music is such an art and has value, then people listen back on a speaker the size of your pinky nail and mp3 ,yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaa

That tube on your 67 is a bit 2K ish, but sounds incredible. The TLM REALLY stands up to it WOW!
The TLM 67 is THE BEST Neumann Mic today!
I have the WA67. It's probably my best sounding mic.
I’m a new subscriber n bought the Manley mic cuz u had it n recommended it
That microphone is amazing! Also one of my very favorites!

Much appreciated! Pumped for you to have one!
I have a new U67 which I adore. On your demonstration I preferred the TLM on the acoustic.
The re-issue 67 is just as incredible as the vintage ones, congrats!
Rarely do people sing their asses off on these reviews. However she clearly did. Very nice surprise. I'm gonna find and listen to that record.

Very similar on the female vocals, however the vintage 67 killed (head and shoulders) on the guitar. Thanks for doing the demo.
I'd say the intro was done with the Vintage one, cause it was brighter.
I made it all the way to the end. Both nice sounding mics. Do you have any cheaper Neuman’s to compare against?

Wrong…. 😂
The whole intro was done with the U 67, and it switches to the TLM 67 when I snap my fingers.
The difference is very noticeable in the midrange. TLM67 emphasizes around 1kHz and attenuates low mids
Tlm 103 is what I love most
Wow! You just sold me a tlm67! I did a blind test and prefered the tlm. I do think both are fantastic though.

My journey in recording is like a newborn, but so far I've realized that getting a good sound form a guitar,bass,keyboards etc is way easier and less expensive than getting a good vocal sound which really the foundation or a good vocal sound starts with a good entry level microphone that still cost as much as most all my other instruments ,lol, but that is the nature of the desire to chase that tone,,that color.
wonderful comparison. I was getting ready to blow cash on the 67 and ran across some sphere mic samples. really don't want to contemplate buying that thing but dam they sounded so good. I know its the old debate but I had a few times I tracked some vocals and my choice in mic wasn't right, I thought it was. even after cleanup I wished I could get a "retake". some of those sphere models come really dam close.
Very nice job! what is your chain? Thank you so much!
The TLM 67 sounds brighter and I actually like it a bit more, more modern sound.
LOL did you buy that from Blackbird?
Hey Colt, I keep landing back on my SM7 for vocals....do you think I would really get a lot of the TLM 67? Thanks....I use a Neve 1073 pre-amp.
Well, these things are very voice dependent. So there’s no way for me to guarantee that the 67 will sound better on you than the SM7, however I will say that my TLM gets used far more often than the SM7.
@@ColtCapperrune Dig it, I know an impossible question to answer...I have my sm7 boomed right over my production desk, so the convenience of zooming through a zillion harmonies is part of why im so sm7 dependent...I do weekly original stuff and lots of vocal covers: ie just did Queen, Beatles, Eagles...swing by the channel if you have the time....all the best Brother, big fan of your channel AND work ethic...if you ever need some cyber vox / harmonies would be glad to join in from New Orleans.

Neumann's and 1073's are a match made in heaven, and have been since the early 70's when the 1073's were introduced. I can't imagine how that combo wouldn't sound amazing.
U67 sounds warmer and of course, it's a tube microphone.
i liked the TLM67 better!
Even listening on a phone, first one TLM 67 and then you clicked to old one?
I bought a Peluso P67 last year and it's by far my favorite mic for vocals. Looking for a chance to try it on acoustic guitar and mandolin. The 67 design topology is excellent all around I think.
Love My Tlm 67!!!
Hey man! How do you think this mic would sound on a male vocalist who sings and screams. Over a dense mix? Do you think it would capture the screams well? I’ve tried a few mics where the highs are too present with the screaming. Help!!
i would try t shure sm7b
Nice!, Whats the vocal chain? VP28 into 1176?
Do you like this more than the Manley Ref C?
I was about to buy a U87ai and they had this TLM67 and I said the same thing…I’ve never heard anyone use it or talk about it. If it’s an affordable version of the $8,000 - $16,000 U67 why do more people not have it when it’s only like $2,500.
Nice video :-) I have the u87AI . realy happy with it :-) and i use it with the avalon vt737sp .and apogee symphony mk1
The mic capsule is always the most important part of the mic and of course they are the same.
awsome video ! can u do a TLM 67 vs WARM version that will be awsome !
Very nice mic! Would you use it as a drum overhead?
Absolutely! 67’s are great on overheads, and toms
@@ColtCapperrune Thanks man!
U67 sounds 3D in comparison...But I would like to have both!
Very close. I little more upper mid in the vintage. Otherwise, very similar quality.
I totally agree! I absolutely love it.I do Voiceovers and this is my favorite from the 7 mics i have in my studio. Combined with a GAP pre73 premier or the UA710 is a wonder!
PS. I have some tests in my channel you may find interesting.
just got the mic and i have the same pre. its an amazing sounding combo.
@@DJJEANIE Absolutely!
I use my use them on my 710 or 6176. The TLM on the 610 pre is my fav.
I have the Neumann TLM 103
Nice!
@@ColtCapperrune I'm a Gospel Singer/Songwriter/Producer/Musician/Audio Engineer. It's nice to meet you sir.
Hey I had an option to try this one for myself. This is a sleeper mic. Along with SOYUZ FET 017 these don't get the credit they deserve.
great video!
I...couldn't pick out the difference with my eyes closed. Damn.
Right??!
@@ColtCapperrune admittedly my monitoring situation is pretty poor (inexpensive pair of Shure Mixing headphones atm), but even then I expected to at least hear a change
That 67 sounded scooped compared to the TLM, who know where is the **true**. The result is better on vintage for guitar and i would prefer the TLM for her voice. Thanks
I would love to hear the Mojave ma-200 Thrown into this mix
Awesome!
First I would like to say I love the quality of you videos. I remember when you kinda just started so again love the great quality you put out. Second of all the singer Haley wow she most likely sounds great on most mics. Lastly I must say I prefer the newer one. The vintage has its own mojo but not like “oh I hate one vs the other.” But I doubt I would pay the money for the vintage one.
Really appreciate that man!
