I want another flavour vocal mic to go with a DIY ELA M 250 6072A tube circuit with original T14 OP transformer that currently has a Violet lollypop head Vin 67 its meant to be a neumann U67 sound I also have the C12 electronics that sounds too bright with that lollypop head....
I like the sound of my mic tho i have no real quality mics to compare it to tho & would like another option another colour to paint with.....
Option 1 ..Was thinking perhaps a cheapy like MXL V67G a ADK Vienna or a Octava 319 something with good transformer and good capsule if possible, I could later try all the mods for these mics
Option 2...get a peluso capsule and use with my ELA M 250 or C12 electronics....
Option 3 ... Buy a bloody Neumann & be done with it!
Heres the questions
I read loads of good thing about the cheapys bu usuually from people modding them for money Im sure they great value but do they really sound good compared to the more expensive ??
Again i read good things about the peluso capsules too.....perhaps a step up from the cheap mics would you say ??
Sadly cash is tight perhaps i could buy a cheaper model neumann but I fear as I have read re n all that over hyped overpriced.....how about modding a cheaper neumann ???
Sadly I find the only way to choose a mic as I cant have them all here in my studio is to go with what you read which is the crappiest way to buy a bloody mic!!
Compiled a list of my options see what you think crappiest first going upwards
Any $70 mic ....shite!
ADK Oktava Mxl maybe but dont expect too much
Peluso capsule ....maybe
audio technica mic.....maybe
A cheaper neumann....prob not
