NOTICE GLOBAL

Well, I see that many people are interested in the fate of this microphone, without really knowing the .. I'm going to get it soon, so I renseign on foreign forums and with the studio that 'and here are what I "read in common."
- It is comparable to the TLM 103 (although recess capsules being almost identical)
- Compared to the U87 has a milder but easy to correct a sharp EQ if ever we do not find enough "edge"
- It has relatively linear air (from what I've read), and is used on bcp sources with some efficacitbr /> -other people do not have liked this micro do considering not like a "real" neumann I can easily design if one is accustomed to the U47, U87 or other M149
- Apparently it is very efficient on room sounds and decision proximity dry guitar or elect. and of course singing.

Basically to summarize I think it is not as rac the U87 but all the same it is better than the TLM103 (will be what the choice of directivits and high pass filter) although it is larger and less easy to place dc.
Finally, I think the price is linked to its qualitpossibilits

although recess I compare two neumann that are not in the same CATEGORY prices, but these references that I have heard spoken.
I think get it before the end of June and be able to have an objective opinion by mid-July. here I'll post my opinion.

Large diaphragm condenser microphone (154dB max).

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
3 hours ....

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
This micro replace advantageously and without hesitation my old sE Electronics Z3300a.

How do you like the most:
- Sound. Have you ever taken a slap? It's time ...
- The look, the finish. Magnificent!

least:
- What Neumann has stopped its production!
- The exclusivity of the specific types Neumann N248 power to enjoy all the possibilities. But there ... This is the ultimate.

How would you rate the quality / price?
I've had it with his Vovox XLR cable 9 meters for 775 Euros. No regrets! If I could, I would buy a second!

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without a doubt!
Exceptional product!
on the other hand attention, it means EVERYTHING!

Micro multipurpose (Swiss Army) capacitor

OVERALL OPINION

I use the microwave for 1 year and a half.
What I like most: The sound, the body that gives the microphone sound recording and the nature and diversity of its range. Decision-acoustic guitars (among others) are beautiful and have that little lift in the treble which are found on other micro. the weight is not excessive and "makes it easy to install instruments to face.
For voice, trensparence exeptionnelle is that I prefer a model z5600 lamp type is a home electronic, less natural but so far (matter of taste and provided to change the lamp).
For those who privileged the natural, the size and versatility, please.
I have a (small) park microphone (AKG C451, sc Tbone 1100, to elect z5600a, sm57, sm58, rm 700 to the ribbon Tbone) I use very often taken for neumann acoustic guitars, percussions, bass ... and also the C451 is an excellent mico and more but has the small side is not bright as neumann and that does not give the same material (matter of taste and sound of intrument.
Tbone 1100 when the sc is for him a similar range of use while going all m ^ me far less in the quality of decision (but for the price, it is extra), I privileged to catch live acoustic guitar or potential gives me the satisfaction neumann used primarily to contrbasse, and yes I have one ...
What I like least ... not much
The value for money looks good to me, so I think a C414 or a phantom brauner is not bad either, but neumann, neumann it.
Yes I would do this choice knowing that a good mic is a lasting investment that does not stop me to take other model over time.

Micro Multipurpose particular specialty: nothing scares him!
Technology electrostatic wide membrane, a major specialty of the brand.
Dual-diaphragm capsule after the K 103.
2 directional (omni & cardioid) with switchable directional possiblilité other 3 (wide cardioid, hypercardioid and ficgure in 8) with the optional remote control.
Pre-attenuation and switchable high-pass filter.
Very low self noise (8 dB A).
High SPL (140 dB).
Perfs well above average ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is due to the use that I have done some time ago in another studio, amazed, I decided to fry a couple (like that, there f'ront p'têt of small ...).

Ben is the micro of the ball, and frankly, considering the price, there is no reason to do without it!
Quality / price ratio: unbeatable. Neumann is the modern, new generation, and even if it's not like the "old", it's still awfully neat.

Whatever the use to which it in fact meets the beast now, and what a presence! Its clear, close, detailed to the extreme, a great job, sculpture fine. But be careful placement, it does not forgive: To get the most out of the beast, he must find his place. It takes a little time, but the reward is at the end.

Background noise does not exist, sensitivity to breath when I think we will have to compress behind in some cases: what a waste.

I know the Neumann, I have handled hundreds of U87, U67 and (my favorites), and the whole series of TLM. This is excellent, its rendering is very "professional", frankly, it has little to envy his elders. I prefer it even to U87 for some female vocals and sax, it said.

I would glue a 10/10 because it deserves it, and also because one of my predecessors had the audacity to note a product without knowing it. It is frankly not very clever.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, it's neumann Not surprisingly, the TLM 127 is for me the best quality / price Neumann.
It far surpasses the TLM 103 with more grain and roundness and especially the possibility of less investment galley.
he excels on vocals and acoustic guitar without coloring!
Be careful though to use the microphone with a constant 48v and a good tube preamp to give him all his greatness.
without a good amp, it sounds already and with it the orgasm!
I prefer the U67 and U87 for male voices, but I prefer the U87 for female voices.
September 1 well deserved

Large-diaphragm condenser microphone, collects more than 150 db.

OVERALL OPINION

Microphone that you pay little more than a 103 times it is good value for money for sure.

I came across a case, a couple.
I was interested in what he could collect, I thought it would be very good for electric guitar and singing for example.
I finally find it horrible on electric guitars on the other hand it is a misfortune for overhead drum or for any acoustic instrument!
Coupled with KM184, you have everything you need!

on the other hand he needs a true preamp, the kind that we pay those in the 1800 Euros and that really grain if this mic is extremely cold and neutral, it will not give you color, depending on the application 's is a good thing or not, I find the versatility interesting but I expected a little "trick" Neumann in, too bad!
That is precisely what he lacks in singing ...

As mentioned previously, attention to the acoustics of the room, this microphone is so sensitive and such frankness that it could even cardio you weird!

Suffice to say that Omni, we really excellent acoustics!
