Sales speak to engineering terms

I had a person tell me that their product clone sounded more vintage than other product clones of the same mic model number.
That their version had more depth and was warmer more vintage.


What does depth mean in engineering terms when they only have a mono mic setup to demo? What pray tell does it mean to be more vintage then the others when all components are new

Maybe they blow unfiltered tobacco smoke into the finished mic for a hundred hours to give it the vintage tone. Kind of like relicked guitars.

Oh that’s a good one. Relicked mics for the vintage sonic. Drop it on the floor once or twice so the grill has a dent.
