Andreas is taking orders now for his 49 with a swappable head. Borris Karloff at Sound Device in Prague is tight with him. He can get you more info. I think the purple site was talking about it. m.facebook.com/soundevicestudio/Voxorama U49: The mic comes with a standard K137 capsule, and is fitted with two of Andreas famous VF14 style "electronic tubes". It's fixed cardoid pattern can be changed (on the power supply) and is continuously variable. Capsules may be swapped out for his CK12s or K47s capsules, which makes this mic a vintage style allrounder. price is 7860,-€ excl. VAT (9350,-€ incl. VAT)

In my opinion Andreas Grosser makes the best 49 right now. I also think short of a vintage Neumann his Voxorama is the nicest 47 out there. I had one with an M7 cap I bought from Roundbadge it was awesome. I sold it to buy a long body Neumann before prices went retarded.

I really miss hearing alternative rock with good production. I know for some people this is not their flavor, but I miss alternative rock. I've heard enough hipster string bands with hand claps, unison choruses, and banjos to last me a lifetime.
THE FELL is an exciting new band consisting of Toby Rand (RAND, JUKE KARTEL, "Rock Star: Supernova") on vocals, Mike Krompass (producer and session guitar player) on guitar, Randy Cooke (session/touring drummer) on drums, and last but not least, Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, THE WINERY DOGS) on bass.

No I haven't, that's an interesting idea. I'll try it and let you know.

I had JPW and the boys from Belle Adair in the house and he sang through my MBHO MBD 219 Hypercardioid and loved it. This mic just shines in a live setting and his voice sounded phenomenal on it. It requires the singer to stay off it much further than one would expect but it just excels like nothing else. I've had a chance to use it on big voices like Adam Wakefield and crooners like John, and this mic kicks ass. It's built like you could throw it at a wall too.

Even in a demo they knew (like Max Martin and pop producers today) that it lives and dies on that forward vocal. Everything else is part of a backing track. It illustrates how ingrained that sensibility is to writing popular music.

Here's another pair of what looks like modern LDC mic. Looks like a Brauner.

I own the SM7, 1073, chain and I can hear and recognize the difference, especially in the tails. But what does it matter really.... especially today. It bothers me that manufacturers use these famous producers to "sell" this stuff like Viagra. It feels slightly exploitative and insulting. What is the point of these "shootouts". It's not aimed at the 1% of guys who make records for a living, they aren't dumping their hardware. I'm assuming it's aimed at the average lay person, musician, small studio, and the message is this will make "someone's demos" sound 4% better. Who can really hear the difference? and what does that infinitesimal amount matter if you aren't making records for a living?
Now that the bottom has dropped out of their industry it feels like manufacturers are increasingly taking advantage of people. They know 80% of their customers have no professional need for what they are selling.
Pro Audio is becoming like Wilson Combat. Buy a bunch of expensive shit you will never need, and never use. The current state of computer audio is already more than good enough for 99% of the people who will use it. And the other 1% who are making records for a living (even though they are increasingly one man operations) aren't about to sell off all of their hardware. The only guys who professionally need that subtle difference between a vintage 1073 and a plugin will keep the outboard gear to make sure they can steal work away from Jacquire. LOL
If you want to sell us middle aged men a bunch of shit we "really don't need" don't blow smoke up our ass. Just say... "this shit is cool, it's like the real M16s the Seals carry in actual combat" and it's fun to own.

I think the MK-47 is the single tube predecessor to the dual tube MKU-47. I have a MK-47 with a Flea capsule I got from Yotonic last year. He told me it was built by Toby Foster, with PS mods by Scott Hampton. I have no idea what tweaks they made, but it sure sounds good. No noise issues, although it's not quite the same mic as what's being discussed here. I offer this because it may support Svart's point that little variations in the published design might make the mic quieter and more stable, accepting a wider range of tubes. Hey Spence you are correct, Toby and Scott made a number of modifications to Max's "design". Toby has worked on my vintage Neumann U47 as well as many of other people's U47s. Not only did the power supply require some modifications by Scott, but Toby made some tweaks where he noticed potential issues. That mic you have (which I want back!) ranks right up there with my favorite 47s - Long body Neumann and Voxorama. Guys like Toby Foster and Andreas Grosser have so much experience working with mics and are so fairly priced in today's market that I would never do anything without them.

My FOH engineer just came off tour with Panic At The Disco and didn't know I had bought a few of these. He was floored. In a live setting the 219 SC just bested everything else we put up against it. I don't know what they are doing but the mic has a uniquely tight sound that seemed to actually compensate for room anomalies while keeping a familiar frequency response curve. It's not cheap but worth it all day. I can't tell you how many times an opner or headliner traveling with their own mic kit will try it and say "wow, give me that".

Any guy who has Moog synths and an MS-20 in his man cave is a kick ass guy! You were lucky to have a great brother!
Living in Manchester and loving electronic music means that CD collection of his is probably like a historical timeline of electronica. I bet I could guess a few of those titles. I have Moog synths and an MS-10 in my man cave, so I'm sending my prayers for Rob.

I've met him a couple times he's a different cat, I honestly wasn't sure if he was pulling an "Andy Kaufman" or not. He certainly is fully immersed in his character, I hope he comes out the the other side in one piece. His band is great, and people who "get him" love him, like super fans. He has tapped into that cult following very quickly.

You're better off supporting the love they are showing and hope it opens other opportunities. Otherwise they aren't gonna put a ring on it. More upside enjoying the attention and spreading the love.

Their bass player is from my hometown. They just played my venue two weeks ago and absolutely killed it.

The kid plays a few instruments well, sings pretty damn good, and seems to be writing pretty well. I just heard some work tracks of his from a buddy that works with him and I was impressed. Gonna see him live in December.

Adam sounds great on this. A little more Southern Rock in a VanZant sort of way than Stapleton. Love where country music is heading- away from Bro and more towards soul.
