Heya, I've noticed some discussions on mics but I'd like to ask the users of high end mics about their impressions.
I will be using it mainly to record vocals.
The mics I'm considering are:

U 87- classic, I know it's sound but maybe a bit outdated now?

Manley black (the cheaper version of Gold)- heard good reports but won't have the chance to test it... so it would be a bit risky?

DPA 4041, supposed to be stunning... will try it out...

VM 1, colours the higher frequencies but I like it...


If anyone has any thoughts on the subject...

Thanks

Pete

I'd tend to trust reviewers at EM

I personnaly have a rode nt1a and nt4 and they revealed being great mics, though not as good as a U87...
but for the price...

It depends of the urge to get a nice mic vs the money you can spend on it...

if you want one trustworthy "high end" mic at at cheaper price, go rode. if you're rich, go U87 or better or equivalent. check out the ribbon mic market. there's an interesting article on the topic in EM november 2k5. they also review chinese ribbon mics...
