Horch RM2J mkII

Condenser tube variable directivity, with power supplied. A linear mode (blue switch), all instrumental taken. A "vocal" mode (red switch) which brings presence, warmth & closeness to natural compression.

perfect balance between purity & heat
OK
Yes

I recently Had a recording session with the awesome jazz Korean singer Youn Sun Nah. She Invited me to play, record & mix the music she wrote for a documentary about Korea. Since a long time I Was looking for a new vocal microphone. My beloved vintage U87, since being white capsule repaired & HAVING ict changed, Does not sound anymore Good - very trebly & sibilant, no body nor warmth.

Came the Horch RM2J: Brought it Youn's voice to icts supernatural beauty we love so much, with a perfect balance betweens highs & lows. With the way the red body of the voice comes out with incredible year strength, presence, "meat" without being white never muddy. Meanwhile this warmth is not an added color saturation like a nickname. The mic stays clean, with a slight compression effect Makes All which things bigger When in red mode. This mic combined with elegance Elements All which are Contradictory Frequently: warmth & purity, body & air, depth & clarity. Youn was very happy with her sound, she Said It Was "all her". Well this mic Sounded too good, I Had to buy it! I think it's the saturday class than a Telefunken Elam 251 I Was dreaming of, drank a lot more affordable.
