You got any AB test comparisons?

I’m currently thinking about buying the TF51 or the Neumann U87, can you tell me mir about the Tf51?

@@kma997 any news bro? did u bought the tf51? Im on the same decision like u haha

@@timuryesa I bought the Neumann and couldn’t be happier!! The Neumann is very neutral and what I really have to point out it sounds exactly like you hear yourself! Often when we hear ourselves in a videos etc. we’re like „that’s what I sound like?!“ but with the Neumann you sound like you hear yourself which is not very spectacular. It sounds great in any genre and will bring a fantastic result what ever you do but it doesn’t has the „wow effect“. The Tf51 on the other hand is not a workhorse like the Neumann. It’s not as natural sounding and has almost a velvety sound it definitely has the advantage when it comes to the „wow effect“ over the Neumann. It can make simple recordings sound like a hit record where in comparison the Neumann need more work done afterwards to make it sound like a hit BUT sometimes the velvety sound is just too much and you would want to prefer something more neutral. If it’s your 1st mic go for the Neumann by any means. If you already have a neutral mic the Tf51 is the perfect addition as its sounds unbelievable especially in the highs but it’s not neutral at all.

@@kma997 thank u!!! that was detailed. appreciate your help. But i want something where are more details and top end without sounding harsh. I really like the tf51...i think the u87 shines with a neve but I dont wanna buy a neve just to make it crisp like the tf51. I feel the tf give me that elam251 vibe better for rnb and pop vocals...

@@timuryesa hope u didn't get the U87, go all hands on TF51. P.S. TF51 and U87 user (U87 on the way to be sold)

Pio Ferro Same, based on these demos.

Would you choose the U87AI over the TF51?

Mix them both when recording

Agreed

Fürbar

I do agree👊

Jonathan Dilin ya but you could almost buy a pair of each of these for the price. I like the 251 though too.

Agreed, I thought the female vocal sounded best with the 47 and the male with the 251, which seems to be the opposite of "typical "uses from my reading.

I liked the 39 the best on everything except for the woman's voice. For that, my favorite was the 47. To me, it tamed exactly what it needed taming on the high mids. For everything else, my favorite was the 39.

@@Zarabozo I wonder whether careful EQing or even multiband dynamics could give a similar result? If you're a vocalist looking for the best mic for your voice, the 47 might make sense, if you've got the budget. If you're an engineer looking for one good mic, I think I also preferred the 39.

Ja, sie sieht köstlich aus. 😜🍆👌

En este ejemplo, TF39 fue el mejor en mi opinión para la voz masculina. Pero no se puede decir que hay un micrófono ideal para una voz masculina tenor; cada voz tiene sus características únicas y un hombre tenor puede sonar perfecto en un modelo, mientras que otro hombre tenor puede sonar perfecto en otro modelo. Lo mismo sucede con voces femeninas. En este ejemplo, para la mujer, en mi opinión el mejor fue el TF47.

It's sonically identical to the TF39.

sonicstep Perhaps listen again with better monitoring because I’m not hearing that in DT-770s.

@@Hexspa the 51 has the most extended high frequencies...that 47 sounds dark, and to me the TF-39 has fantastic control of sibilance and a mid punch.

@@av3nger3 We all hear differently. I think the 47 has a nice snare crack around 3500-5000Hz.

@@av3nger3 so the 51 extended high frequencies/ or the 47? dark?

@@ItzrealMusic the 47 is good for the midrange detail of rocking and chugging guitars and dark vocals. The 51 is great for female and standard vocal delivery, as well as capturing bright tones such as hi hats and cymbals without shattering the ears from poorly or overly saturated high frequencies. The 39 sounds like a u87 on vocals with a slight mid cut that allows the vocals to sound clearer. Keep in mind that this is my experience from many other videos including this one (u87 vs Cu29 comparison video also). I also have a TF-39 so I know what it sounds like raw and with effects.
