Justin Colletti walks us through some of the most iconic mic designs in history through the lens of the vintage series microphones from JZ.
Compare condensers inspired by the classic Neumann U67 and U47, the legendary AKG C12 and a new "instant classic" design all of JZ's own: The V11.

Thanks to JZ for sending these mics and helping to make this content possible!

Really wouldn't have expected how well your speaking voice was going to showcase the sonic variance between these mics. Really well done Justin.

I loved the subtle, but not TOO subtle differences between each of them. The v12 on vocals is the closest to the end result of how I'd eq vocals for a podcast.

Sold. I've been considering the V11 (I'm going to high pass below 100 on most non-bass sources anyway, so that bump in the lows doesn't scare me). What I love is the detail in the high end, while at the same time suppressing sibilance - to my ears, it's a pre-deessed mic. Which is basically a dream come true.

Thank you for this comparison. I’ve wanted something like this for a while. Kudos!

I have the Vintage 11 since 3 years, it's a killer microphone, especially for spoken voice, singing or rap vocals. It's makes everything larger than life which is very useful in many cases. Not super realistic, but definitely one of my favorite mics.

Love my V67s on vocals and guitars but man that V47 rocks on the drum room! Didn't really love the other two as much, but absolutely didn't dislike them either. Need me some 47s!

I've been using the V11 for years. This is a mic that often slips under the radar but deserves a lot more attention. I also have a Shure KSM32 which sounds similar but without the low-end bump. The V11 is a good compliment to my other mics.

Love your videos. Been a long time subscriber of your. Thanks for this detailed comparison!

This really is the best shootout for jz mics and I found it extremely helpful. The drum test in particular was perfect. Really depends on what you want/need but JZ is on my short list.

I love my v11, with a nice mic pre it's amazing on anything; full, thick, open and smooth. Great mic.

Love the V67 on soprano sax and flute (my main instruments). It's also been great on gtr amp, accordion, vibraphone, and percussion. I just received the V12 but haven't used it on a session yet. Seems like it will be great on vox and drum OH.

Great video! I really liked the 67 on speaking voice and was surprised to like the 12 for the guitar and drums. Would love to hear all 4 on singing, which would be my main purpose. I have been on the fence between the 47 and 67, and this only helped confuse me more. HAHAHA

I used a 67 at a prestigious studio last week. We started on the Neumann and switched over to the JZ one and it was good to go. Pre-amp and compressor will also make a difference too. I want the JZ Vintage 67 badly. It has to find it's way to my studio

@ajschot

I have the v11 (was my first jz mic) and love it. Last month i bought the V67 too and love that one too! I am thinkiing about getting one more v67 but also would like to try the v47… have not enough money to spend to get them both…

This was probably the best comparison video for Jay Z microphones I have seen yet! Happy owner of a V67 and Black Hole BH1s.

@vladlabyrinth6335

11 sounds really natural in mids and higs, just -2db below 100hz will change everything. v67 a little our of control on sibilance

@CrystalizedSound Жыл бұрын

The 12 reminds me of my C414, bright, crisp & detailed. I love that mic on anything but vocals! Just a tad too bright there for me, especially on female voices where it can get a little strident, but an excellent all rounder generally. Acoustic/classical guitar, percussion, drums, even guitar cabs.

Great comparison. I liked the 11 on your voice, probably because of the dip in the sibilance area. The 47 killed on the room and I was surprised that the 12 didn't accentuate the air more on the guitar.

V12 sounds great but may need a de-esser? I sold my v 11 as I it sounded a bit too muddy without much highs & picked up plosives a lot.Thinking of getting the Amethyst now!
