The U 87 has been the standard of the recording industry since 1967. This microphone is famous for its warm sound and well-balanced characteristics. The current U 87A yields a 6dB improvement in signal-to-noise over its predecessor. Includes EA87 Shockmount, windscreen, cable and a wooden jewelers box. The Neumann U87 studio Microphone is famous for its warm sound and well-balanced characteristics. Equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with 3 selectable directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, it offers a 6dB improvement in signal-to-noise over its predecessor. A 10dB attenuation switch enables the U87 to handle sound levels up to 127dB without distortion; and the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect. The preferred studio vocal mic for decades, the Neumann U87 also makes a great main mic for band or home studio recordings, as well as a spot mic for single instruments. Frequency range: 20Hz to 20kHz; impedance rated at 200 ohms. The Shockmount includes a windscreen, cable, EA87 elastic suspension and comes in a wooden jeweler's box. Requires phantom power.

 I don't know even though the u87 is not in like the Omni mode or the figure-eight mode I still feel like the u87 just picks up a lot more room noise than the telen 103 I've had experiences with the telen 103 in like crazy Recording situations like in the living room no acoustic treatment and I just put on like one of these pop filters like the I forgot The name of this thing the electron f8 or something like that I can't remember the name but I put that on this telen 103 and I get literally no room noise You can also use that with the u87 but us but you're still going to get a little bit more room noise It's healing 103 is a lot more quieter than the u87 And again, I think that is because the u87 has two capsules in it What I also noticed with recording with both of these microphones the u87 comes in a little bit more hotter And I think it's because of that transformer and real quick back on distortion You know with the telen 103 it does have less distortion than the u87 and with transformer microphones You have to understand that when you're dealing with distortion The u87 can actually rise up to the distortion a lot faster than the telen 103 If you're getting help so far go ahead and hit the like button helps out now Let's talk about the price now the telen 103 you could probably get this brand new for about $1,200 versus the u87 gonna cost you around $4,000 like I said before transformerless microphones gain popularity back in like the 80s or the 90s because of less Transformers in their recording process and also because it's cheaper a lot of the price from the u87 kind of comes from the Transformers inside and you would think that as time goes on, you know prices will come down for materials But that's not the case for transformers Which is why this microphone cost a lot more is because it has transformers inside and a couple more capsules than the telen 103 now who are these microphones for now in my personal experience and using both of these microphones for Mixing and recording and stuff like that. I do feel like the telen 103 is still a great microphone I feel like that if you're recording at home or something like that and you don't have the greatest treatment in your room And you're on a budget. I still feel like you should get the telen 103 It's a really great microphone and it helps you get that modern sound that you might be looking for It is a brighter microphone because of that extended range of it being a transformer list microphone Maybe you want to record drums and stuff like that transformer list microphones get less distortion now with the u87 I'm not sure if I can recommend this microphone as a home studio Microphone unless you have a well-treated room This microphone can pick up a lot of the room noises and it will expose the fact that you need acoustic treatment I've seen a lot of famous people use the u87 in like crazy untreated rooms and conditions and stuff like that And I'm starting to think that's cat or maybe like the mixing engineer is not using a lot of compression or something like that I'm not sure how they're doing it I just don't believe that you can use a u87 in a very noisy room for vocals personally I think both of these are really great microphones if you're gonna record hip-hop pop or rock I recommend getting the u87 because of the more warm sound that you get I feel like the tops and the bottoms of the u87 are just polished and I do feel like they both sound very similar But the u87 sounds more polished and stuff like that. I still think the teal and 103 is a really great microphone It does sound a little bit more brighter at times and you know comparing the two and re-recording some of my own songs I just noticed that the teal and 103 can really just sound a little bit more harsh and more airy than it should let me Know in the comments which microphone you're gonna pick up if we're getting help so far

 I'm just going to show you which microphone I'm using at the time Make sure you guys check out themusicgame. Some people might say is more harsh and stuff like that But really it's just a more modern sound that Norman was trying to give to people now when you get a u87 You might think it's a little bit more dull because it's not as bright as the telen 103 and what I've experienced with the Norman U87 I feel like it has more polished low-end and you can see that with these Frequency responses that I'm showing you on the screen now what I've noticed with the telen 103 and this extended range It doesn't take plosives very well there have been times where I had a pop filter on this microphone at a great distance and it Still gets those plosives extremely harshly sometimes I got to retake some of those takes because of the plosives and I'm one of those guys when I'm saying my P's and My B's and sometimes even the S's it gets into the capsule extremely easily now when I'm recording with both of these microphones I do notice that with the telen 103 you do get less of the room noise versus the u87 And I'm not sure if it's because the u87 has two capsules in it And maybe the capsule in the back is like, you know turning on here and there or something like that I'm not sure. I don't know even though the u87 is not in like the Omni mode or the figure-eight mode I still feel like the u87 just picks up a lot more room noise than the telen 103 I've had experiences with the telen 103 in like crazy Recording situations like in the living room no acoustic treatment and I just put on like one of these pop filters like the I forgot The name of this thing the electron f8 or something like that I can't remember the name but I put that on this telen 103 and I get literally no room noise You can also use that with the u87 but us but you're still going to get a little bit more room noise It's healing 103 is a lot more quieter than the u87 And again, I think that is because the u87 has two capsules in it What I also noticed with recording with both of these microphones the u87 comes in a little bit more hotter And I think it's because of that transformer and real quick back on distortion You know with the telen 103 it does have less distortion than the u87 and with transformer microphones You have to understand that when you're dealing with distortion The u87 can actually rise up to the distortion a lot faster than the telen 103 If you're getting help so far go ahead and hit the like button helps out now Let's talk about the price now the telen 103 you could probably get this brand new for about $1,200 versus the u87 gonna cost you around $4,000 like I said before transformerless microphones gain popularity back in like the 80s or the 90s because of less Transformers in their recording process and also because it's cheaper a lot of the price from the u87 kind of comes from the Transformers inside and you would think that as time goes on, you know prices will come down for materials But that's not the case for transformers Which is why this microphone cost a lot more is because it has transformers inside and a couple more capsules than the telen 103 now who are these microphones for now in my personal experience and using both of these microphones for Mixing and recording and stuff like that. I do feel like the telen 103 is still a great microphone I feel like that if you're recording at home or something like that and you don't have the greatest treatment in your room And you're on a budget

 I'd only have one stand right now So, you know, I'm just gonna hold it. My arm is already getting tired when you're looking for a microphone There are basically four important things You got to understand the build quality the sound quality the price and who are they for first? Let's talk about the build quality. Both of these microphones are basically built with somewhat the same materials They feel the same the of course The telen 103 is a lot lighter than the u87 both of these microphones have the exact same capsule But the u87 has two of these capsules the telen 103 only has one the telen 103 Also is a transformerless microphone versus the u87 having a transformer inside of it The reason Norman made a transformerless microphone because at the time a lot of people were using Transformer microphones and inside of their studio equipment a lot of that stuff had transformers in it So a lot of people just wanted something different. They felt like transformers were making their music sound worse So at the time transformers microphones became very popular which is why Norman decided to release their telen 103 series and made the Norman telen 103 right now have both of these microphones plugged directly into my Apollo 2 and X using the Neumann 1073 unison plug-in and let me know how you think it sounds so I'm gonna go ahead and plug both of these into the hardware And then come right back and at the bottom

Is The Neumann u87 ai BETTER Than Neumann TLM 103? 🤔

 Let me know in the comments down below which of the microphones in that comparison shootout thing did you like the best? Do you think the U87 Ai is worth $3,600 or do you think you should just go with the KSM 44 or the Mojave MA 201 or the Neat King B? Which one did you like the best? If you found this video fun, interesting or helpful. Go ahead and give me a thumbs up. If you hated it, big old thumbs down. If you want more videos, go ahead and subscribe logo down beneath me and don't forget to hit that bell icon

 It may not be the right microphone for the sound that you're trying to get. So just go ahead, listen to as many samples as you can find from as many different people as you can find and see if it fits the use case that you're looking for. I was going to sign off here but one really cool fact, if you've seen the how it's made episode where they build a microphone, that's the Neumann U87 Ai. I'll go ahead and link that video in the description because it is just so much fun to see them build this microphone from scratch with their hands

 So cool. And that is going to wrap up the most expensive video that I have ever made in my entire life. Let me know in the comments down below which of the microphones in that comparison shootout thing did you like the best? Do you think the U87 Ai is worth $3,600 or do you think you should just go with the KSM 44 or the Mojave MA 201 or the Neat King B? Which one did you like the best? If you found this video fun, interesting or helpful. Go ahead and give me a thumbs up

 Next we are on the omnidirectional polar pattern and I will rotate all the way around the microphone. As I am rotating you should hear no real huge change in the tone and we will end at the front of the microphone. And lastly we are on the figure eight pattern. We will move around to 90 degrees, the first dead area

Neumann U87 Ai Mic Review / Test (Compared to NW700, AT2020, NT1, SM7b, KSM44a, C414 XLII)

 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 versus the Neumann U87 AI

 And here we get to prove that the specs are not the most important thing on a microphone. This is a condenser microphone with the cardioid, omni and figure eight polar patterns. It's 20 Hertz to 20 kilohertz. It has an SPL of 117 DB or 127 DB with the pad enabled

 Smells good, right? It was a thing, and it would perfectly explain the differences. But I don't know about you, I would rather not have that on my mic. I mean, it is a Neumann. It's built like a tank, but you should probably not be rough with it because it's a month's salary for a decent career

 I mean, once again, of course, this is good. There's a reason it's in every studio that's worth its salt, but it does beg another question. Do you need this microphone if you're in voiceover or starting your own studio? No. In fact, I saw a post the other day of actors reading lines for a Disney movie and they were using a Rode NT1

Why is The NEUMANN U87ai The Most Sought After Mic

 It sounds really amazingly good on vocals of all types. From a higher pitched soul vocalist to deep R&B to fast paced rap to lead pop vocals, this piece shines and sounds incredible in the mix. I lowered my expectations before I heard it because I wasn't planning on being blown away by the sound of this mic. But I was! It sounds like it has a built in de-esser and captures so much DETAIL

  TL;DR it's amazing but there's no good reason to pay for a new one when a decent or better condition used unit sounds the same.

 Get good analog preamps first and a good room/booth to match. I'm using a 4-710d with a host of UAD plug-ins like the 1176 and Pultec EQ and it sounds amazing. I would like to pick up a vintage Neve 1081 but that'll run into the 5 figures for a pair. As long as your preamp is professional quality it should do the trick

Phenomenonal microphone that screams QUALITY

..To get this mic to work, you would need to spend at least $800 or more.  I have a mixed feeling about this mic because it does keep out the background noice pretty well (which was the reason I got this in the first place), however, it not as easy to set this up as I thought

.you're ONLY buying the mic! You will NEED to buy everything else separately to get this to work, and I mean everything else going from cloudlifter, Focusrite, xls cables, desk stand/arm..

To get this mic to work, you would need to spend at least $800 or more.  I have a mixed feeling about this mic because it does keep out the background noice pretty well (which was the reason I got this in the first place), however, it not as easy to set this up as I thought. Plus, this mic is on the quiet side, so you would need A LOT of gains.  Although I will keep this mic as I finally got it to work, let this be a warning note for you if you are not familiar with the whole set up of this mic

 It could be a frustrating experience which will destroy your excitement of getting this mic in the first place.

Beware of this mic

Our new Shure SM7B doesn't sound nearly as good and I think cost $400, but it is super good at blocking off background noise. That's the only thing it is good at. I know it is famous since Michael Jackson liked it, but I think he liked it for its distortion. Why can't we make decent microphones for a reasonable price?

Hello

For many years I've been living without using webcams, but since covid hitted I felt the need to get one become I had more video calls with others people than ever.

So I started looking into webcams, and I'm just speechless about how bad they are to this day.

Even a brand new StreamCam from logitech (released in 2020) selling for 150€ doesn't match the quality of my Xioami smarthphone that coast the same price (and obivously can achieve many other things than simply recording). 

Everything seems extremely overpriced, low quality etc and I simply don't understand why this market didn't evolved that much considering the fact that streaming is extremely popular and people are very interested in good quality webcams.

Why are webcams still terrible in 2021 ?

.with a steady, easily detectable background hiss of white noise. Every microphone creates an innate noise floor just by virtue of the electronics, but a decent mic (even dynamic mics like the SM58 or Samson Q2U) will typically drown out the noise floor with the actual signal. Not the SM7B

 High noise floor  Seriously, unless you're a veteran in the podcast or voiceover field and can list five solid reasons for purchasing the SM7B (none of which includes "the look"), don't buy this microphone. If you're rocking a Scarlet interface, don't buy this microphone. Most podcasters are going to get a better sound with an Audio Technica AT2100 or other entry-level dynamic (or--if you have a solo podcast and a quiet environment-- even a midrange condenser ). Plus you'll save a few hundred bucks

.about that noise floor. If you've done your homework you already know that this is a low-output mic, but you might not understand just how weak a signal can be until you plug an SM7B into your favorite high-quality preamp. I'm running the SM7B through one of the best prosumer interfaces you can buy--the Sound Devices Mix Pre 6--in a sound-treated home studio

Hands-down most overrated microphone in the podcasting/voiceover world

 Free / low cost software preferred. Not a fan of subscription services like AdobeCC or MS365.

Shure SM7B, Cloudlifter, PreSonus Audiobox USB96, and an Amazon basics tripod boom mic stand. Any recommendations for software are welcome. Free / low cost software preferred. Not a fan of subscription services like AdobeCC or MS365

 Shure sells such a POP filter, good enough for the task. Once you're using a proper external pop filter, you can place it really close to the metal grille front, have your SM7B switches without bass-cut and with the presence-boost on (as I said it earlier this is actually a no-presence-cut position rather than a real boost)..

...if you really think hard about it, it is thus trying to be like a condenser mic, but whereas a condenser mic has a built-in preamp, this SM7B needs an external preamp! In-between, that's where it is

.. the audio pattern mimics the legendary SM58's presence-boosting curve, so the SM7B can give your recorded voice the classic Shure SM58 "live" character if you know how to use it right (though again you need to keep in mind that it's never going to be as delicate as a condenser mic, still if you know what you're doing you might find it a worthy trade-off to get great character with the loss of some delicate-ness. Post-recording engineering, a bit of compression and you're back in the game

 Imagine a super-sensitive SM58 with a Blues singer planting his lips of the grille and you're recording his voice in a studio, and you're in 'POP hell...now you appreciate the engineering :)  Apologies for the lengthy review, but I do believe I've given an honest description of the important details
