Mic Shootout: Classic Large Diaphragm Condensers [VIDEO]

January 6th, 2016 by

Join SonicScoop editor Justin Colletti as he partners up with B&H Pro Audio to put some of the most sought-after and popular high-end large diaphragm condensers through their paces at Degraw Sound Studios, in Brooklyn.

Singer/Songwriter Wes Hutchinson helps with the side by side comparisons of the AKG C414 XLII, the Neumann U87ai, the Neumann TLM 107, a Soyuz SU-017, and a vintage Sony C37.

After the shootout, Colletti sits down with the guys at Degraw Sound for a little shop talk and gets their impressions of the mics. Enjoy the video, and stay tuned for more in this fun and informative new series from SonicScoop and B&H.

Special thanks to Erik Braund for shooting this series. Written, directed and edited by Justin Colletti.
