Audio-Technica AT2035 vs Neumann U87

You get this nice little shock mount. You get a plastic version of the 5.8 to 3.8 inch microphone stand adapter

Example, you can take the Neumann u87 and re-create the same signal with an Eq for the NT1 and it’ll sound very, very close to the actual Neumann U87. It’s a very versatile mic, great quality, and won’t KO your wallet.

It worked GREAT!, awesome deep sound, when gaming, my friends told me I sounded crisp and clear, and I could have it 2 feet away from my face and it would pick up my sound(and some keyboard) with no issues. for the money I was really happy with it. Then, 3 weeks later, it died. Just like that, it gave up

I do tend to record sort of hot. I've got the gain at 45 dB right now, and I haven't boosted it at all in post, as I said. But the sensitivity on this...

I was skeptical about this mic for high-end audio work. Lately, looking for good condenser mics is difficult, because so many people review these "budget" mics for various podcast or YouTube/Twitch uses, and while they are happy with results, would those same budget mics work well in a small production studio?

I can say with this mic, all YES. For the price, this provides a very neutral color with little debit where it counts for most midrange instruments and vocalists. In fact, compared to some other mics in the studio, I actually prefer this for baritone-to-alto singers because of the clarity

Now look at this beautiful thing. Why is your favorite artist's microphone the Norman U87? Let's test it out, man. Let's look at this thing, bro. It's...

Saved me another 15%. When all is said and done, a mic of this quality and a shock mount for less than $150, new, tax included? Can't be beat.

This is about 4,500 in Canada. This one's about 500 in Canada. One 10th the price, give or take. Now we have the TechZone Audio Products Stellar X2 ve...
