I am still amazed that on a few voices there is no better mic than the cheapest Chinese LDC FET. The first time it pissed me off, now I just roll with it. There are a few voices on which an SM58 is the best vocal mic. It says more about the individual voice than the quality of the mic. Sometimes the deficiencies/characteristics of mic and voice complement each other, when either one in most other situations might be.... "problematic". It's why I have drawers full of mics that I almost never use.
Let's also be fair about one unpopular truth: A 58 is remarkably close to an average U47 in many many ways, sonically. |

Tommy, if you want vocal mike cred here, send one to Martin or Vincent. We know their voices well and trust their judgement and honesty. That's true. But the most complex voice I have heard amongst our group is wiz Peter Knight. Not imputing any deserved greatness on anyone, just saying that Peter's voice is by far the most COMPLEX around here, and like donr I get very captivated by it!! So send one of your mics to Ozland, Tommy, and then we'll gleefully listen to it against a few other fine microphones and be able to hear everything it can do to capture all details. And careful with the overly eager replies . . . we've all grown a bit weary of them from a few others who went down the wrong path. |

Welcome Tommy,
I went and listened to your u47 page and that paper moon track blew me away!!! Man! Holy crap that sounds goddam amazing!!!
Please take this feedback as market research you are getting for free... But then it’s very confusing and feels almost like I’m purposely being misled. Apparently the first video is a real u47, not your mic? are you telling me the first video on your weird audio/u47 page, about your mic, is NOT your mic, but one of the greatest mics of all time? The only video with your mic on the page is at the very bottom and sounds nothing like the first video? That needs to be fixed and explained much, much better.

christopher pretty sure the copy means Frank Sinatra recorded Paper Moon on a U47, but Wyatt Michael is recorded on a Weird 47.

From the page...
This one stands out to me and is a great mic
This one is probably usable and can be made to work, but isn’t like the other to my ears. But hey .. maybe the jokes on me and it’s the same mic.im so confused LOL.
[edit: ok I’m now thinking they are the same mic, just the first song hits a little hotter.. haha! Great! Phew! I’ll be happy when confirmed.. I just read his sentence about comparing his mic at the bottom to the other remaster from 2008, heard the first one ‘pop’ and the last one kind of ‘fizzle’, and lost it a little.. hahaha]

mrholmes if you have read my original post you will probably start to understand that I am trying to tell you all of your mics are likely China mics whether you know it or not if they have been purchased in the last ten years. And Johnepstein again I appreciate your input but I have some key photos from the Heiserman website showing lots of Chinese caps, etc in their gear. My highest praise to the Heiserman team, however, for what they are attempting. Highest caliber CNC processes are hard to learn, but I have to love their mics because they are my heroes, I just took a different path so far, and, I like them, have a whole bunch of NOS new Russian paper in oil caps that everyone wants to bow down to, however, we won't use them except by request, because they are inconsistent and unpredictable regarding leakage. My point is this: If the big mic companies are producing gear in China for cheap quit raping your customers or someone like me will come along with mics that blow their current builds out of the water. Be honest enough to do what Fender does and sell cheaper versions based on where the products are made. And you guys in the business join in and stop propping up these turned to shit companies that are screwing everyone. It's happened in industry after industry. Now then, I'll state this emphatically as soon as it is possible to manufacture everything in the US to the standards I find elsewhere I will do it. In the meantime I'll keep providing mics that sound better than your current build $10,000 mics for a fraction of the cost. I have one mic - a U47 - Thiersch PVC capsule - German tube - that I swear is the best 47 sounding mic I have ever heard. Should sell for 6k easily and I may do that next year still. Right now it's a third of that. We don't sell 47 clones, we sell what they should have evolved to. All of them do that little thing - can hear a spider walk when open but as soon as vocal level spl touches em, they do that little compression/gate thing in the warmest way like the original ones. Also, I want to thank all you guys, for letting me speak. For your input - even if I didn't like it. This is the way things should be in every arena. I'm not on this forum to sell mics, just represent some. I was assassinated on here a few months ago. It was time to speak out. Again, I'm not looking for your vote. I'm not running for president. I don't think anyone here has ever seen or used one of my mics. That's ok. And, I don't need to do shoot out's but if your going to crucify my mics site unseen by golly bring your best to Austin and put it up against mine. You can even pick mine out of the warehouse. Come run some clean male and female vocal clips, acoustic instruments whatever. I'll help set it up with pre-approved artists. whatever. If you have looked at my website recently you will realize I don't need to prove anything anymore. I'll try to keep up with this Forum as I can. Very very busy here. I wish you guys all the best. And yes RGO, I am a character - you have no idea - but damnit I just have to be who I am. Lots of times I don't like me either. Tommy. No offending but that's biggest bullshit I ever read. I live in Berlin Germany and I know that Neumann is producing in Germany and they're not producing in China. I now teach you a lesson about German craftsmanship. My country is famous for having very skilled employees. We have a dual education system, which is well known by CEOs on the whole f****** planet. And many many German companies give a s*** about producing in China. Myself a skilled salesman heard several stories, horrible stories about outsourcing to China. You can produce a good microphone in china. I'm sure that's possible. But it's very simple if you come to a place like RGO, you may prove your statement by sending a test microphone to a well-known and trustworthy person on the board. Myself I am not a tech. But now we have people here who can judge your work easily. so why not playing with open cards saying what you did and why your product is good. It's easy. .. you don't need to tell BS about your competition....it's to me always a sign that something is wrong .. . |

You have no idea what you're saying or who you're talking to.
Heiserman is one of the most highly respected builders of condenser microphone capsules in the USA. If you're saying they use Chinese caps in their mics you are either lying or sadly mistaken. Their caps are in the same level of quality as Thiersch and similar builders. My Heiserman H47fet has a USA built capsule. They list 4 capsules on their website. All 4 are MADE IN USA. And I just doublechecked their site and there's not an import cap to be found unless somewhere there's a carefully concealed hidden page, which I very seriously doubt.
Mr Holmes favorite mics are Neumann KM184s. Not my favorite Neumann mics (I prefer the original KM84s), but still not Chinese, not unless Neumann has secretly moved their factory to China.
This forum is "infested" with DIY builders and boutique gear designers and manufacturers. This is not Gearslutz or The Gear Page, which you appear to be confusing it with.
My name is spelled with TWO "Ps" The one "P" ones are a different family.
If you want you mics to be taken seriously around here, send demo samples to Vincent and Martin, who will do fair, impartial evaluations and "shootouts". I doubt that anybody is going to take a "factory shootout" posted on your site very seriously. Anything of that nature on a manufacturer's site can be assumed to be posted for the purpose of selling product (obviously), not making a fair comparison. A company publicist would have to be really stupid to post a comparison that presents the home product in anything but a superior light, by any means convenient.

(I will admit that I do find an SM58 infinitely preferable to a Beta 58, but that's really not saying anything.)

christopher pretty sure the copy means Frank Sinatra recorded Paper Moon on a U47, but Wyatt Michael is recorded on a Weird 47. Huh?
Am I understanding this correctly? So one singer used a famous vintage mic on his world famous vintage voice and some Yootoob/Farcebook artist used this Chinese sorta knockoff on his voice and we're supposed to be able to make some kind of comparison, despite the fact that the two recording chains are totally different and we have no idea what processing might have been used to bring the sound of the clips close enough to be comperable?
Pull the other one, it has got bells on! You must think that your potential customers are REALLY stupid to buy into a "comparison" like that.
I am truly flabbergasted by the presumptuousness of this.

Looks like another of the dozens of companies who rebrand ShuaiYin/Alctron/Apex/whatever stuff. Doesn't mean it's not a decent mic but it does mean I'd buy the cheaper Alctron version if I wanted one. And like John said, their marketing betrays some fundamental non-understanding of mics. Edit: just saw this line... "Buy it now and we offer to buy it back from you in ten years for twice today’s price provided it’s in good shape. But you won’t sell - it will be worth more." Ok no, don't buy this mic. This is a bunch of bullshit. What are the odds they'll still be in business in 10 years? Maybe we can get a pool going...? |

How can a mic use obvious Chinese parts and be "not in any way Chinese?" I'm not really grasping the reality of the manufacturers' claims. I would rather the angle be a positive endorsement of the product itself rather than a tear down of what other people are making.
There are also some problems with severe sounding language and poor taste.
It's not a good look for a manufacturer. I would rather see some simple, clearly stated facts about the product and a willingness to engage professionals with professional language. It comes off now like some sort of borderline carnival pitch.
Also glad John Eppstein is here in this particular thread.

Thanks it made me laugh the first time for today.... Pissed my pants:-))
BTW Microtec Gefell also produces here in #germany and not in #china
Tommy. Now I would not buy one because of your attitude - talking bad about the inventor Neumann.
Sure in some fields we do business with china, but not in microphones. Precise work, still depends a lot on skilled employees.
As salesman, I remember seeing asphalt plants made in the USA and it was clear to spot, for everyone, that Germany had a talent for it. The difference to the Tommy attitude was, that the US reps had no problem to make compliments about our A grade quality products. They had no problems to tell us that they think that we will be world leaders in the next 15 years.
This is a different attitude, and we had a great time together, and we respected each other, even if it was not the same league.
I still have contact to one US rep 20 years ago nice people.....

My initial impression of this company (and I welcome being proved wrong) isn't very favorable. The website?... my god... That and the tone of this whole thread is just...weird...(pun intended).
That being said, I'd love to see this mic in the hands of a great singer on RGO (as has been mentioned), and hear what its made of.

Tommy I am hoping this is a misunderstanding and when you refer to Heiserman Audio using chinese caps you mean capacitors.
I can swear to you that Eric and his company manufacture their own capsules in the USA.
It serves no one for you to try to infer that manufacturers like Neumann and Heiserman are using chinese made products when they clearly are not.
At least on this forum we hold each other in high regard, respect each others experience and NEVER try to school each other.
If your mic is good it will speak for itself.
These other exchanges are not necessary, tiring and take away from you trying to highlight your product

I am still amazed that on a few voices there is no better mic than the cheapest Chinese LDC FET. The first time it pissed me off, now I just roll with it. Well this was his U47 Tube clone. Thought it was nice. Chinese manufacturing isn't bad. They've spent the last 30 years getting extremely good at it. Just just holding them to the standard that you want your product to have. The amount of stuff we all use on a day to day basis that is from China is mind boggling. It's not worth complaining about. He came off a bit brash I'll admit, but he's not wrong either.. I mean technically no one makes a mic like they did back then because...well no one makes anything like they did back then. And I know of SO many companies that do exactly what he says. parts made in china, assemble it in the USA and then go and call it "USA MADE!" Fuck yeah! America! It's super common.
First, yeah, Chinese manufacturing has improved a lot. But then, they started from "really terrible", no place to go but up.
And yes, there are companies making mics "like they used to" or close as possible with EPA materials restrictions. They're just not the big mass market names. Because it's really not a "big mass-marketable" product. (It never was.) And in order to get it done right there has to be someone involved who is both a mic freak and a master machinist, which is an interesting combination of skills.

Let's also be fair about one unpopular truth: A 58 is remarkably close to an average U47 in many many ways, sonically. Yes, they're absolutely identical in every way that doesn't really matter. But yes, they do both produce an audio signal when presented with acoustical input.

(I will admit that I do find an SM58 infinitely preferable to a Beta 58, but that's really not saying anything.)
Two things a 58 has n common with your run of the mill well-worn U47: 1. GACK. The initial 'buckle' in the capsule when a strong signal hits it. 2. the 'MASK'. That cloud that sits over the tone of any U47, although more dominant in the M7 variety. Does it have the 9.86khz overly exaggerated resonant point of the K47 version? no. Does it have the silk of THE M7? NO. Does it have the quality of sound that any version has? No. And I don't hate many microphones more than a 58, maybe the SM7beard or the SM57 in most applications. but if you don't agree or hear what I'm saying, and others have said, that's ok. I won't think you need your ears checked or express that sentiment nor try to malign your opinion or reports on findings. Because that would be just plain rude, stupid and myopic. |

I don't really hear the "mask" of a U47 to be at all similar to the "mask" of an SM58, although I do get what you're saying. The thing is (assuming a mic in good condition, which not all 47s are at this point (obviously) Imostly hear what you're regarding as a "mask" in a 47 to simply be the absence of the "modern" hyped presence peak that most modern mics seem to have, and which I generally find annoying. If I want more brightness I have a knob for that.
Also, since I generally tend to not close mic (with an LDC) the way most people do these days it's not all that obvious. AFAIK the 47 wasn't really intended for close micing in the first place. When I see pics of Sinatra he's never right up on the mic like people do now. Same with a lot of the early shots I've seen of Dylan.
And I'll refrain from making comments about how people these days don't understand how older equipment was intended to be used. Because that also would be rude, stupid, and myopic. 
And besides, "Whatever works"...

Please listen to the mic. Weirdaudiotech.com. They sound fantastic! It all comes downs to sound. Go to the samples on the website weirdaudiotech.com Please, let's do a mic shoot out at a neutral studio. The truth is in the sound. We can open mics up as well, THE LITTLE RED MONSTER and the other mics too. See the difference - hear the difference. Tommy here. CEO WEIRD AUDIO weirdaudiotech.com. Let me say, I appreciate your input and concern regarding these mics and I think I can allay your concerns if you will give me a chance. Please give me a chance. We are the underdog for sure. I could start by giving you my bon-fides in the business but most aren't going to read that far. I will say I got really upset as I dug down the rabbit hole regarding the big three mic companies that once produced fabulous mics to find that in general they were ALL selling knock offs of the originals. I knew I could come up with great mics in a pure pragmatic process that sounded better. Let's start with current scenario: Blue once made some of the finest hand made mics in the world, (I still have an early serial number hand-made Latvian Blue)but they were bought by Logitech, famous for mass production of cheap computer keyboards, etc., and now mass produce cheap mics that aren’t always so cheap! Neuman bought by Senheiser, Georg would turn over in his grave! Senheiser mass produced dynamic mics but had no experience with top shelf boutique mics. Neuman actually mostly used Gefell capsules, by the way, but on their website, you see a picture of a metal lathe as though they were traditional CNC experts and craftsmen in that regard. Senheiser certainly is not. But then again they quit polished brass tension rings on their capsules years ago and now use plastic on their K capsules whereas we use highly polished brass. Then there is Telefunken: By the way they never even built the ELAM 251 of yesteryear that was made by AKG and what they are making now is pure knockoff look a - likes (that I can have built for a few hundred dollars each) and sell for thousands. Well, it's not Telefunken anyway, it's Telefunken Electrocaustic, an American marketing company, that bought the rights to use the name Ultimately, most all of em then turn to the Ningbho district of China to mass produce knockoffs of the originals. All of this PISSED ME OFF! Young dudes graduate these schools here in Austin and believe they have to sacrifice themselves to buy crap because of the name on it. By the time I got way down deep in the rabbit hole I had developed sources in Asia where I found I could buy some of this stuff right off the line for a few hundred bucks each and I was tempted to do so - Not!!! I was REALLY PISSED! I felt used! The creative arts were enslaved and duped by this bullshit! We’ve been brain washed into believing the emperor's new clothes are dope. Star cracking open mics and comparing to yesteryear. It’s all come down to cheap mass production and maximum profit. That being said, come to Austin with any doubter of my mic with your fav 67 and shoot out with mine in a neutral studio. Invite the magazines. We can get some attention I promise. Might get Rupert to check in - you never know - he lives 30 miles from here these days. I'll slay that dragon. No Bullshit. Let's do the real damn thing! My $550 mic against the $5,500 mic and don’t even bring a piece of crap fet fake! Back to Ningbho district. Ningbho uses a variety of corpoarate vehicles used to represent a group of mic element maker groups basically subsidized by the State. There are various names thus used in this district when going to market, and they private label and or build for damn near everyone one thing or another. Do not get me wrong! There IS definitely some fabulous mic making talent there but not behind every door. Many of those doors open to cheap mass production where there is a market. China operates this way - you want chemicals or lab creations, bio medical - that's the Wuhan district, Apple phones are made in another district. (Whole cities have been built for that!) You want microphones - that's Ningbho. Now there is major slight of hand going on. You can get your goods delivered to America and do final assembly here and say your mic is American made for example. Even when they are really assembled in toto here inside you are going to find electronic components mostly made in China even when they are painted and labeled some other way. How do I know? Even before I knew all of this I started opening a lot of mics, have been for years actually. Take the time to find certified production white papers. Go see them make these hand wound American transformers and caps. Arrange to buy some "off the line.” And at the door! Watch them make them and ask what goes inside. I'm going to be doing video blogs on all of this soon. Back to our mics. When we decided to make mics we were all from the business and not the DYI - do it yourself - side. We wanted the stars of CNC processes, and sputterists (lol) gold or otherwise.(We have our own PVC M7 capsule coming out soon for you purists, btw) We wanted simple but elegant electronics packages and in truth - mic electronics are not complicated. We wanted the best that could be made by the guys that made the best stuff in each area of the mic. We wanted a sleeve that was striking and a name that was memorable, and we wanted to sound better than the big corporate knockoffs, but once more we wanted mics that sounded fabulous, and thus was born the LITTLE RED MONSTER. Point one – mic sleeves – we went shopping: SLEEVES DO NOT MAKE THE MIC in most case by the way – the sound does. MANY microphones out there these day share the exact if not similar sleeve as other mics. Case in point: All of the ELAM 251 copies out there, everyone has a yellow tube these days, Warm Audio, Alctron, Telefunken Electrokaustic, add infinitum. The U47 sleeve is ubiquitous!!! By the way: We make one and I think we might just have the best one ever made - go listen to our sound files at weirdaudiotech.com/u47 PLEASE! be sure to listen to the clip in the video bottom page, Fly Me 2D Moon, and compare that to Frank Sinatra's original Fly Me To The Moon that he remastered in 2008, always using the best gear in the world! But, in sleeves, WE DID NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE A NEUMAN or a this or that, we shopped high and low and landed on one that Alctron also uses - one other mic! They can't even be used in NORTH America right now, those sleeves!!! Guilty! we use a sleeve that one other mic uses! We uses a similar, ubiquitous power supply. Go look at all the clone world first please!!! From U87's to Beta 57's so many copy cat sleeves! Now what is inside our mic? Magic. Magic design that we don;t have patented nor does anyone (Elon Musk who I have come to love recently said ANYONE CAN USE OUR PATENTS! Basically that if anyone can iMprove on them it helps us all. That said, We definitely tweak our design and offer it to anyone. I doubt they know our capsule magic and other tricks. We use a very strange tube in the LITTLE RED MONSTER these days, hand-made in Germany, the 12AW7WAR. YOU WON'T FIND THIS TUBE IN ANY OTHER MIC WE KNOW OF! Our mics sound incredible! Look at our accolades on the website! LISTEN TO THE SAMPLES. When the CEO of a sound company contracted for many major motion pictures not only loves the mic, but sends us samples free of charge he likes the mic so much, it's like praising one of my children. Soon, same dude is going to check out our versions of the U47 as well. It was such an honor to be invited into his domain and watch him test the LITTLE RED MONSTER. You have to see the PROOF OF THIS and listen to it on website. weirdaudiotech.com. He APPROACHED US! Was so very cool. It meant the world to me! He and his guys new Steven Paul mods and all of it, but they loved our LITTLE RED MONSTER! Now then, why was the LITTLE RED MONSTER advertised with ELAM 251, U67 LIKE title? Two reasons, it compares very favorably in dynamics with them both but mostly for search results. On those particular channels, in this day and age, the LITTLE RED MONSTER would never have been seen without this bs. Not always going to be that way. Joneppstein is absolutely correct about the capsule wiring difference between the two mics he mentioned. And as to the bullshit about the buy-back. It's not bullshit. I stand by that. Buy it now and I will buy it back gladly, in ten years for twice what you pay for it now. That offer is good until October 1. Our price is going up again as our overhead increases. There is more to come from us, believe me. And the more detractors we get the more opportunity we get to tear the gust out of our competitor’s mics and practices. Some of that could get real messy if some of you guys are not careful because I will literally tear down builds via video blog. But, I am going to quit taking shots at the local builders. Forgive me you guys. Give me a weak and I will change the wording throughout our adds and public statements. I want to be totally in the corner of the local guys. I have the utmost respect for their endeavors. Let’s help and not hurt each other. And, lastly, in person I am not an arrogant ass and I hope I don’t sound like one here. I am definitely not like anyone you know. Story is long and not always wholesome. Maybe a little bigger than me in it’s craziness. So many miles. I’m grateful to be alive. It’s a miracle. But at 63, I’ve recorded double platinum artists and double Grammy winners, written some unknown books and songs, I can curl, 185 lbs (that’s very rare), bench over 315 for reps most days (not so rare), and do 505 pound shrugs for reps (a little on the rare side). I cut my teeth in the business in LA many years ago, top of the tower, Capitol records, wide-eyed intern for a minute. Ben Edmonds was my mentor. Later I did a lot of stuff I never got credit for. So be it. Today, and, by God, (quite literally), I have some of the best damn mics in the world! Come see me. Ill prove it to ya. All the above. Maybe buy you lunch, dinner, or both. Jam some in the studio or get some acoustic magic going on the back porch, kick it some of awesome live venues we have here. Would love to meet ya. Tommy WEIRD AUDIO |
