Cardioid condenser microphone lamp only. Note that this is not the only version of the M149 cardioid as can be heard in some places (just look at the frequency responses to be convinced).
OVERALL OPINION
The Ugly Duckling
As you will notice is a little unloved by Neumann. He said that the U87, U67 U49 and above are such stars it is difficult to succeed them. So stay calm: 1000 euros okaz, it remains a bargain even if the versatility is not his forte. I had very good results on bass (with a preamp in 9098) and female voices with a neve 1272 it is true that softened the sound. on the other hand I have found my happiness with a Martin D28 and I gave him a preferred BPM CR73II but I had not the 1272.
Compare what is comparable. A U47 is around 6000 euros, the 3000 U67 and U87 1500. If we could have the same sound to six times cheaper, and it is not the coasts of the U47 would have collapsed and this is far from true.
Finally: do not make a purchase without testing especially with microphones typed. For you to try and give him a chance because if it works for your needs, you will find okaz at very reasonable rates (and I did not talk about build quality copy).
