Does anyone have a um57 out there? What does it sound like?

Richard Monroe said:Hey, you know, the original poster may be asking a legitimate question, and you all are acting like a bunch of 9th grade smartasses. A UM57 is a discontinued vintage multipattern Microtech Gefell tube mic. I confess I've never heard one, but it's a safe assumption that it has similarities to a Neumann U47 and U67. Given that Microtech Gefell builds badass mics, and are the more legitimate inheritors of the Neumann name, it is a safe bet that a UM57 is a kickass tube mic. It is almost certainly is a wicked vocal mic.. Geez, you ask a question and get your balls busted. The closest most of these people ever came to an East German tube mic was when they fantasized about it while they were jerking off.-Richie
