Hi!
The 49 is such a fantastic microphone...
still female vocals can be a tiny bit "edgy" in the high mids sometimes.
Which preamps are magic with it in your experience?
Big, clear and smooth in the midrange? 737? isa 110? 1081?
thanks ✌

Hardy M1 is usually my choice for that.

I really like the original Rupert Neve/George Martin Forte ISA 110 with any mic!👍🏻
All good recommendations here!

Cheap(er) seats Hardware suggestion...
The recent Useful Arts Hornet. You can dial in degrees of Tone. *
Silver Bullet/Mixwave Coil/Audioscape Golden 58...
Worth consideration on the Plug front. I realize these suggestions... May be more aimed towards someone else/lower budget following this thread.

* I know Bob Olhsson digs the general Neumann/Daking combo too.

Plug it into an API or Neve 10 series and your going to hear the sound of a record.

That's what all the wannabe Gangsta Rappers say.

I found this on my wife’s voice and our FleA 49. I like using our 1272 with the 49 on her. It wasn’t as peaky as the 1073 can be sometimes.

What 1272 interpretation are you referring to as 1272 never was a mic pre. Would be interesting to hear your input on the two mentioned compared and exactly which 73 and 72’s are involved. |

I have a Dan Alexander Dual Class A preamp. It has original transformers and replacement boards. It can be a little thick on my voice sometimes, but has worked on Emily with the 49. I actually ended up switching her to the U67 these days. Still solidifying her preamp though. Now that the studio is nearly back together I need to have her shoot out some preamps. |

To be correct “Neve” never issued the 1272 as a mic pre. BAE, Dan Alexander and others started converting 1272 modules into mic pres as the real mic pre modules became unobtainable From pulled modules from de-commissioned consoles, but they had plenty of very similar 1272 line cards. As supply of original 1272’s dwindled these same cloners had original boards designed using the 1272 as the basis. Is it right to call these 1272? Well it would be wrong to call them any other Neve number, so 1272 stuck😁 all 4 of my Dan Alexander reproductions like Vincent’s say “ CLASS A PREAMPLIFIER”. |

Yes i know, thats why i was interesting was it one of brents early conversions or which one it was to be able to kind of figure out which 73 sounds peaky compared to which 72 conversion. The bae 73 actually is a two stage so that could have some of the 72 characteristics. |

Sounds cool, yeah i thought if it would have been an 72 converted to mic pre against a bae 73 i would have liked to hear how they differ, or if its not a bae 73 u have, how does your 73 (probably 3 stage) differ from your 72 before the 73 hits the third stage. Or does it feel peaky already on lower gains? Like below 40-50 range? |
