Sorry mate but it really isn't. Why is it that all the clones can't seem to hear what the original u47 sounds like? They all fuck up the k47 capsule and miss the point. Essentially every clone of a u47 seems to want you to think that a u47 sounds like someone applied a smiley curve EQ profile to it. It doesn't. It's blatantly obvious that it's extremely details in the mids and even slightly mid forward. I guess manufacturing a diaphragm that exhibits the frequency response of a u47 is still out of reach of everyone after all this time.

@@Screaming-Trees bet money you can’t tell them apart on a blind shoot out, no one can, just go to gearslutz you “golden ears” you 😆✌🏽

@@thedayones4918 Man I'd love for you to be right, but even in this example, the Neumann has much better midrange definition.

@@Screaming-Trees you can put another neumann U47 and it will not sound the same as the one they’re using so to say that warm didn’t get close enough and for a fraction of the price you might have to check your ears mate

​@@lmrecordings Actually I think it is you who needs to get their ears checked mate. You can put up another U47 yes but it won't sound that different. This whole myth that Neumann tolerances in the 50s and 60s were inconsistent is utter rubbish. Neumann were incredibly precise and picky. Any differences between the U47s during their almost 20 years run are due to deliberate changes Neumann made over the course of the production lifespan of the microphone. Mid to late sixties 47s were already several hardware revisions different than the early fifties models. Consider also that only 1 in every 200 VF14s made it through Neumann quality control. It is not at all true to say that any two 47s were different due to quality control issues but there were some differences by design. All that said the sound of the 47 is well defined even today. The K47 capsule is the same today as it was in the late 60s. It exhibits the same frequency response. I'm sorry but if you think Warm Audio is close you either have no idea what a 47 should sound like (in which case here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5ZjmLeKuNqmgWw.html Warm's clone sounds nothing like that.) or you have a shit monitoring setup and you can't hear the difference because of it. Which is kind of hard to believe because one microphone has a perfect, if slightly pronounced, midrange response and the other is just a big smiley curve. Or you just have an underdeveloped ear (which is common) and you need to train yours ears more. OR it's a combination of some of these. The 47 has a near perfect midrange. That's its genius. The Warm example doesn't even come close to that. And the price doesn't matter since one is desirable and the other isn't. Clones are a dead end. Truth is noone knows how Neumann get that kind of frequency response out of their diaphragms. It is agreed industry wide that these are some of the best kept industry secrets still. It would be great if Neumann would share its processes. We could all learn and move forward as an industry but they won't. It's their IP and that's that. The chemical processes (the heating of the diaphragm in an oven, the cooling process, the tensioning and tuning etc) are all unknown factors that you can't reverse engineer. It's like the blue meth. Unless you know the process exactly you won't get the same result. If you want the 47 sound the only game in town is Neumann really. Buy a TLM 49 and enjoy a single sided genuine K47 capsule or spend a bit a more and buy the FET 47 where you get the original, double sided K47 capsule. The rest is just a waste of time. You're deluding yourself if you think Warm or any other clone will get you that sound. And I mean why wouldn't you buy from Neumann? They're the original innovators. They invented the condenser microphone. Why not reward the innovators instead of clone companies who built their entire product line up on someone elses' IP?

wich neve you use on it ? what impédence you use ? hi on low ? please. I have one + 1073.

Facts

once youve owned a U47 your thought process will be different. Bock Audio makes one that sounds just like the Telefunken, he fixes the vintage ones, and his 251 rivals an elam, I know Ive owned it, it has THE VOCAL sound

leave her fingers alone. lol

I agree. It sounded the brightest for the female take too

How rude! It's about the microphone and not how good the singer is. He has a timbre that is good enough to gauge how good the microphone is, and that should be enough. This is not an episode of ’The Voice’.

I just bought the GA-47

I agree in this recording, the U47 is smoother but if a compressor is applied, it might not make much of a difference. The WA47 seems to poke out a little more which may be an advantage in a mix. Either way, I can see out both mics can be good in its own identity.

Hi, in the description you'll find a link to all the info you need. No processing, Mic pres: Quad8 Best :)

Yes, they should let that old u47 rest in piece and glory and let the mic collectors have it, not actually use it in modern recordings lol.

I love that we have such a variety of sounds now. We just need to remove the "elite" status and replace it with the "vintage" title instead.

Thx so much Rob...........

What would you recommend instead? I agree with your review

Now $900

She is

it'sLue i was talkîng about the man

Bob?! Bass man? Remember me? Glegoly 😛 Happy new year dude

JV Strats hahah! I heard it too. Lol This comment needs more likes

and how many of them arguing on various mic shoot outs are listening to the demos on cheap earbuds HAHAHAHAHA!

People who know how to listen, yes.

@@zeitakulobusta9708 How do you accurately listen to a mix on INFERIOR equipment? This is a typical comment from a troll with NO CONTENT.

@@NURREDIN how about having a dialogue instead of trying to 'win'? Your question was can someone tell the difference? My answer is yes, I can tell the difference. Ok maybe my earbuds aren't super cheap but even so. Expensive gear doesn't automatically equal better grasp of sonics in the listener - this is why you still see NS10s in studios. And why does me not 'having content' matter? I prefer to focus on my work/creativity and family.

@@zeitakulobusta9708 I happen to own a pair of vintage NS10M's.I use them every day. If you're in the industry and you have no content,just WHAT do you do? Post up your content so we can see what you do.

And the recordings are slightly distorted as someone already mentioned, something in the recording chain is not right

I had the same experience, 1 and 4 were clear winners on her, and 3 really stood out as best on the guy's voice with the extra clarity toward the top.

To be fair I reckon that the dodgy KZfaq sound is going to have way more effect than a little bit hand waving

Tomas Brent 🤣🤣🤣 man you probably can’t afford one that’s why you’re upset. The wa47 is a fine mic 😢🤣

Juan, I am professonall producer, composer and sound desogner. Take a look www.madelinemusicpro.com . You must take attention to the fact, if one mic cost amount of money and is most famous vocal mic and this "clone" cost 16 times less, there is a HUGE probabillity they are playing not far game with you. If you dont hear it, no problem. Try to listen differently a bit. My aproach is this: Listen especially at spectrum from 150Hz to 500Hz and tom end from 6K to 15K, and you'll see the truth. Warm audio sounds Dull and has notplesant sibilances. Take a look man. If you not hear different at all, try different room acoustic, or monitors, or convertor...Good luck

im in a fully treated room I listened to your stuff your vocals sit way under the mix(I listened to the country rock one) im wondering what monitors you are listening on? or what combos of monitors your are on

I tried 3 monitors. Auratone, NS-10 and big Genelecs..Lynx convertor...But my friend, it really doesnt metter, this mic is bad on every system..

Tomas Brent I’m just questioning your ears when in your own works the vocals seem to hide in the mix and don’t sit well.
