Neumann Condenser Microphone Reviews

connecting the condenser microphone, quite functional

This mic is awesome. I additionally have a Sennheiser MKH416 which has better noise rejection. This Neumann condenser has a preferred frequency response. As a result, this mic is very well suited to live processing with an Apollo x8p or Twin X. I also have a few other mics, but this one is amazing!

good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

I have used this combination boom and stand in the studio for more years than I can remember. It's like a Neumann microphone...it's not a studio without one. Tuff, smooth and easy to use. Nothing bad to say about it.

This microphone really captures the lows in my voice and sounds as professional as a Neumann 87..... Also, at a fraction of the price compared to the Neumann 87!! Great price for a quality condenser microphone!!! I use this microphone for the voice over industry.

Love the Rode NTG-1 Condenser Microphone. I use it with my Canon Mark 2

This microphone is an absolute gem. The TLM 102 is the Neumann entry level microphone. It is a large diaphragm, side address mic, very small compared to its relatives. It is solidly built, but light enough to easily mount for a podcast mic, and never seems to get in the way of copy. It is my favorite mic for voiceover, as it gives a nice smooth tonality. I love the way it sounds without compression or sweetening. After micing guitar and violin, I can say it does a fine job with stringed instruments as well. For a Neumann, it is quite inexpensive; however, for a home studio, it is pricey. Is it worth the extra money? Although it was for me, there are other mic's with nearly as good performance in the $300 range. For voice work, I really like the Audio Technica AT-4033a, although it is larger and heavier. The Shure SM7b is great if you're looking for a smooth broadcast sound. I have also used and enjoyed the Sennheiser MD421, especially when I wanted a slightly brighter sound from a dynamic mic. These less expensive alternatives are worth considering if you want high quality sound, but don't want to spend several hundred dollars more. Having said that, I love this little Neumann, and don't regret for an instant having bought it.

The NEUMANN U 87Ai is a studio microphone with outstanding performance and an attractive shape. NEUMANN microphones are the best. This company has almost 90 (ninety) years of experience in the manufacture of microphones. Truly amazing.

I absolutely love this microphone. If I didn't own a Neumann TLM 102, which is my recording mic of choice, this Rode NT1 would be my mic of choice for everyday recording. Hands down the most comparable mic in my collection to the Neumann. Crystal clear and warm yet bright and responsive in the higher frequencies. When paired with my babyface face pro this mic really shines. No way I ever part ways with my number 1 back up mic. Oh, did I mention it costs less than half my Neumann. I love this mic. There is a reason it is consistently ranked in the top 10-12 microphones for voice recording. Proud owner.
