«  Good vocal mic »

It is a micro I use more than 12 years and has recorded voice for over 30 CDs. Okaz bought for 8000 francs (this date!!)
I also used to record bass, Sax etc ....

OVERALL OPINION

I have an AKG C12 80s, edited by AKG, which sounds better.
I also have two U87 I use very rarely voices (piano, sax ....) less silky.

The M147 is similar to the C12 with more aggressive mediums ... it must equalize with analog.

In severe reading reviews I wonder if the quality of production has remained constant Neumann (my M147 was made in the last century!).

I note, however, a commercial scam: I had to change the lamp as it is welded and Neumann refused to sell them separately, the lamp has been changed in their workshops. It cost me € 500 service!!!!

If I had to buy a micro today lamp I would not necessarily choose this!
