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..."
I used this mic to record vocals and it initially gave a nice quality sound that was warm and clear. After a few months of using the mic, it started making a crackling and static sound that would come and go intermittently. I thought it might have …
Blue Microphones Yeti Pro - "Features and Quality unheard of in this price range. Plus USB and Direct XLR Connections"
Upgrade home studio recording I have used various mics but none compare with the multi-use capabilities of The Blue Yeti Pro. The first microphone that captures 24-bit/192kHz digital recordings on your desktop, and connects to professional recordin…

I use this for voice over, live performance and studio applications. I did not compare the MK-219 with other microphones. I found this with stand and cable at a Goodwill Store. I was surprised when I saw it. I saw the price and thought somebody was k…
RODE NTG4+ - "Excellent value"
Used for audiobook and youtube videos, mic has very little self noise and has adequate gain with Zoom H5 currently used. Does it sound like a 416? No. Does it sound a lot better than NGT2, yes. Battery option is very valuable, but mic does sound …
Shure SM57 - "Excellent bang for the buck"
I bought an SM57 primarily to record electric guitars. I spent hours with several other microphones and never really got a sound I was happy with until I tried the SM57. It was the clear winner after multiple position and amp setting checks. I …
Tannoy TM1 - "I was surprised"
My friend is a Music Goup Rep, he brought one of these over to test it. I grabbed a U87 off the shelf as our reference and plugged them both into an XL48 pre. We ran the AES outs into a hi res converter and headphone amp. First off, it's not a U8…
Audio-Technica AE5400 - "A product to fight Neumann KMS and Shure KSMs...and to win against them"
We experienced approximately 3-5db more gain before feedback from the AE5400, in comparison to both the SM58 and the Neumann KMS 104. The 350-500 Hz dib it has is very useful, because it's a frequency the live mixer always pulls anyway and it take…
