Neumann Large-Diaphragm Condenser Comparison

Since the brand first formed in 1928, Neumann has been dedicated to offering audio creators the highest quality microphones possible.

The stellar reputation Neumann has built speaks for itself with the creation of staples like the U 47, U 67 and M 49. These icons of the recording industry have stood the test of time and have been used on countless hit albums by producers and engineers around the world.

Vintage King recently decamped to The 45 Factory just outside of Detroit, Michigan, to set up a Neumann microphone shootout of epic proportions. Check out sample sounds from both female and male vocals recorded with 11 different large diaphragm condenser microphones, including both vintage and reissue Neumann models.
