[travelin travis]

Telefunken M-16 Mark I. It's pretty well established that it's the exact same mic made in the exact same factory as the Apex 460/Nady TCM-1150 which is a $200-250 mic.
I know you weren't necessarily looking for a literal answer, but just think of the poor suckers who bought the Telefunken branded ones!

I remember a thread about that here maybe 2 years ago? What a ripoff!

Neumann U87 - worst mic ever!

 

[gracejames]

Yeah, U-87...the opposite of 'bang for buck'.

 

[travelin travis]

Really? The U87 isn't all that then?

Close to 1k. The TLM 103. Pretty much can be beat by most 200.00 chinese condensors, IMO.

Fortunately, I can say that I have absolutely no knowledge of any mic. over $1000. I don't think I've ever been within 50 feet of one.

Me too. I don't think an expensive mic is going to bump up my talent any way.

 

[Middleman]

Neumann TLM 49, by far.

 

[BRIEFCASEMANX]

the people saying the u87 have probably never used one and are listening to forum hype.

 

[XLR]

I used a U87 for a couple hours and it was wonderful.
