Neumann TLM 103 - "Neumann TLM 103 works beautifully on acoustic guitars"
Hello curious wanderer, Owned and used a Neumann TLM 103 for about a year now. I've paired it with various preamps including a LA-610 mKII. Primarily used w/ acoustic guitars and vocals. There does tend to be a lot of artifacts when using this mi…

Sterling Audio ST51 - "Excellent for Recording Vocals Until..."

Tannoy TM1 - "I was surprised"

Audio-Technica AE5400 - "A product to fight Neumann KMS and Shure KSMs...and to win against them"

M-Audio Solaris - "Excellent Mic at any Price"
I've run studios for decades and had/used/auditioned many, many mics from very spendy ones (U47, U67, RCA 77 etc) to cheap ones. The Solaris is a very good sounding LDC. I prefer the frequency response in figure 8 mode. Sounds even smoother with that…

Behringer C-1U - "Good mic for little money,"
I Purchased this mic for voice over work, Great for beginners, may need some EQ to sound warm,, The mic bracket is a bit flimsy fo a good spider mount is a good idea,, Otherwise its a great mic for little cash, I can only vouch for it being used i…
