Video: Classic Studio Mic Roundup — U47 and C12 Alternatives

November 8th, 2016 by

SonicScoop editor Justin Colletti is back for another great mic roundup video thanks to our friends at B&H.

For this series, B&H was kind enough to lend us a whole slew of amazing microphones, and in this first segment, we’ll be looking at the classic AKG C12 and Neumann U47 designs, as well as some very nice contemporary mics inspired by them, made by brands including Telefunken, Manley, and more.

Join Justin at Braund Studios as he and singer/songwriter Sulene put each of these contemporary classic mics through their paces:
