Today, we're shooting out JZ Microphones against Warren's own Vintage Microphone collection! We had our friend and artist, Davon in the studio so Mel and Eric decided to film the entire process whilst shooting out the microphones. The twist? Warren has to guess which microphone is by which company!
Dayvon is originally from Snellvile GA and moved out to Anaheim CA where he started his musical journey in 2013.
Since then, he has written and worked with Grammy/Emmy award winner Joe Houge and has played venues such as House of Blues, Chain Reaction, Glass House Pomona in the band Asylus.
His style is a fusion of many genres such as RnB, Rock, and Pop. Mixing sounds from artists, he takes inspiration from such as Foo Fighters, Kid Cudi, and The Fray.

My matched pair of Soyuz O-13 matched pair and I am anxiously waiting on delivery of the O-17 tube mic. My Stager SR-5 ribbon, made here in Nashville, is also great!
Can't say it's my 'favorite' but if I'm using multiple mics on something, I always toss in an MXL Cube that a guy gave me, when I was buying a really old Gibson J45 from him. I didn't even know anything about it before but I often find I like what it does.
And also the Copperphone frmo PlacidAudio... Not sure how I'd work without having that option.
It was super fun trying to put Warren to the test. Obviously I knew we couldn’t beat him but it was fun to try XD.
Thanks Mel! I really enjoyed doing this!
This was an AMAZING opportunity to a part of! I had so much fun recording all my non sense with you guys!! Happy Birthday Warren, and thanks to everyone who watches 🙏🖤
Great having you on the channel Dayvon!!
OMG its Dayvon!! Subscribe! 🖤🖤 🙌
@@EricGPLAP Dayvon!!!
Release the track!
This was honestly a super fun video. Great concept, and getting to hear Warren's unfiltered thoughts as he listens is honestly great ear training - even over a compressed delivery system like RUclips. Well done. Do more like this.
Thanks ever so much Mike!
I loved this video too!
@@leefchapman Yay!
Great video, guys, thank you!
Owning all three of these JZ Mics, and having worked with some of the Neumanns, I called every one of these examples (commenting at 13mins). The give away is the Neumann’s sounded ever so slightly compressed and a little duller (except the brand new U87s).
JZ Mics are SERIOUSLY good!
Loving the new color of your videos! Really sets a nice mood.
Keep it up Warren 🔥
Cheers from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thanks ever so much! Fun to experiment!
That was fun, educational and awesome to see how well in tune Warren's ears are. Good job 👍
Thanks ever so much Andy! Glad you enjoyed it!
When he asked" do you have a compressor on" I honestly thought there was one on, and clamping fairly aggressively. Surprising.
Many mics, especially tube mics feel that way!
Really cool video, I like that you keep doing different approaches on your videos to make it always interesting and fun!
This was great, yes!
Thanks Vary99! Exactly! Love working with tons of amazing people! We have such a wonderful team!
@@leefchapman Yay!
So fun doing this video!!
It was a blast!!
Wow, I thought the difference was really obvious with the tube mics and I called them out correctly every time. That doesn't mean I thought the JZ mics sounded bad, but real tubes do something special. The U87ai and JZ was closer, but found I preferred the U87ai when I finally saw the results. It's fuller with more detail.
Thanks ever so much for sharing your opinion!
@@Producelikeapro anytime. I’m a session vocalist/entertainer from New York. I love your videos. Thanks so much for all the great content.
@@EandVEntertainment thanks ever so much!
Hi Warren and thank you so much for the great content but I need some advise on a specific microphone I have acquired. It is a Trix ribbon microphone from the 1950’s, I’ve only found one place online that says it’s based on a Reslo VMC microphone from around the same time. I have photos etc but I have no idea how to power/plug this thing in. It has 2 pins on the back and it has a adapter plugged into that but no cable, there is a hole that looks like a cable would be attached but I’m not sure at all (I’m a newbie I know haha) anyway… I really hope you could help me out here thanks
I would love to see a shoot out like this with the new UAD Sphere modeling microphones! Great video, very educational!
Actually this blew me away and I am impressed by quality and accuracty of your highly trained ear - there is so much more to creating good sound than just lumping together a bunch of good equipment - it is the mad genius that can create great sounds from it and really has the oral palette of a great chief to hear and distinguish the subtleties of the ingredient sounds that are being mixed served. I by no means detect those subtleties between certain frequency ranges and soundness levels of 1 db - you are a true pro and master. Thank you.
Thank you SO much. All of this comes by learning and practicing.
They all were really good and super usable.... The unmatched piano was definitely the weakest link, but still very mixable. For the money..... Great sounding mics.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Thanks to this channel and some of Warren's friends, I can actually appreciate the nuances here. Cheers
Thanks ever so much Freddie!
My guesses and preferences were for the Neumann/AKG mics on vocal, guitar and piano - but the big surprise for me was the drums, where I thought the J Z mics sounded… marvellous!
I actually preferred the JZs on piano. 😮 But I have no experience *mixing* a piano, so yeah. I liked the open soundstage; not sure if that's the mics themselves or if it's the blend of the two different models with two different frequency responses.
They are very close, but the JZ is slightly thinner. I was able to guess it every time. great experiment! The JZ mics are definitely an amazing value!
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing
@@Producelikeapro Yeah the hardest for me was piano and drums. I'd assume the mics were like 2k+ in price. I don't know how these aren't flying off the shelves honestly.
@@CreativeMindsAudio yes, they are around $600 and sound amazing!
Love it, such an awesome episode!!! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, I can't believe I was able to pick which was which, on every single one. With that said, the JZ mics sound amazing.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Damn!!! JZ microphone on this blind test??!! I'm excited that this mic is in there! The mic which is made in my country, proud of these guys! They can make a very good product to offer. 😊
I noticed the u47 in the vocal example was getting some preamp saturation as well! Hitting it harder than the other mic. I dug it to be honest ;) I’ve got a JZ mic (the 67) and I really love it. It certainly punches well above the price I paid for it. In the vocal example, the u47 was fuller/richer sounding- the JZ highlighted more of the room ambiance around the voice and detailed up top without getting harsh.
That was a fun video. I liked the Darth Vader theme when Warren showed up! Happy birthday Lord Warren!
Hahaha yes! Thanks ever so much
The JZ had more of the room sound while the C12A and the U47 sounded more dry and had more bottom (ac guitar and lead vocal). My favorite jz mic was definately the J67, sounded full with a lovely top end. I have to buy one now! :D
Thanks ever so much for sharing Cristopher!
That was fun! I went with everything Warren said, before I knew what he would say. 😉
Thanks Audrey!
Pls more tests on Warren :) Amazing awareness of the mics! It would be great to see examples similar with VST v Hardware,D.I/Analog Re-amp v Amp-Cab Sims :) Modern/Home stuff against Pro standard outboards P.s Salt & Vinegar is a staple with every portion of chips (Fries) here in UK, love it :)
Thanks ever so much!!
There is a kind of natural compression in piano A that gives a lot more sustain and liveliness. It is a beautiful take 😍
great video! Nice to see the unfiltered reactions
Glad you enjoyed!
What valve and components you got in your U47? Also what capsule?
Great video, thank you, Dayvon, Mel, Eric and Warren!
Thank you Marc!
Thanks Marc!
@@EricGPLAP You Rock!
Man this was good!! I wish I can use a u47 myself. Awesome video!
Hi Manny! Thanks ever so much!
*patiently waiting for that montage song to drop on Spotify*
Dayvon might soft release the performance video!
The piano miking sounded awesome. Great stuff
Thanks Joey!
Bravo! Great job on this 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
I use the same idea on piano. An U47 at the lows and an U67 at the highs and it sounds great.
Happy birthday Warren, keep up your great work, big Hugs and Love
Thanks so much
@Produce Like A Pro
i listened with my eyes closed on iPhone7, Samsung S320, and JBL 4311's...... i could not tell the differences.....
WISH i had my Pre-Meniere's Disease ears back........
at any rate i hope i get chosen, as i am using an M-Audio Luna(gen 1) condenser mic...... sadly i have to pound it with a pretty aggressive eq curve....(using PT8LE and Mac Mini 2009 osx10.6.8)
Best Of Fortune to ALL Who Enter the Contest !!!!!!!
Thank You for the opportunity to own a good mic !!!!
Thank you for watching and good luck Paul!! I hadn't heard of Meniere's disease I'm so sorry!
@@EricGPLAP Thank You so very much for your Thoughtfulness !!!!!!!! You are Too Kind !!!!
i wish the Best Of Fortune for You !!!!!!!
oh this is gonna be fun!
Yes! Thanks Lee!
I'm half way through the video, and even with the youtube codec quality I can definitely tell a difference in the mics before the reveal. The JZ mics sound great on their own, but say with the acoustic or the piano the nonJZ mics sound a little richer or more open. Even still, for the price they're still sound great.
These might be on my list until I can get a bigger budget.
Happy Birthday Warren
They actually sound very different. I hate to be boring, but I preferred the "expensive ones" on everything with exception of the a-guitar too (which is why I would have guessed that one wrong and assumed it's the expensive one). I didn't think differences would be that big. Of course the comparison wasn't perfect, but I feel like it gave me a good idea nonetheless. Seeing Warren being put to the test was fun and I want more of that!
Happy Bithday to you Warren 😊
Very interesting. I could hear a few differences but mostly only in level on my little phone 'speaker'. But basically I couldn't tell them apart.
Let me simply say Heil PR40, a dynamic mic that rivals condensers without that sensitivity where you can hear a cat walking around. They work on everything. If you need more character, Coles 4038.
The A kick Had Like you Said 1 db lesser Volume (1,2db against 2,2 db) at the start. But besides that great comparisons. I am thinking about my First large diagraphm mic. Im really Not Sure what to choose .
Marvellous! Thanks Christian!
enjoyed the change up in your mic review videos' format.
I loved it too!
Fantastic! Fun times!!
@@leefchapman marvellous!
Warren has v good ears. The man knows his business No doubt
Thanks ever so much!
Awesome great music song. Great audio
impressive passion
Happy Birthday my fellow Aquarius!
At 11:29 the snare is stronger on a different side but the order gets reversed once the mic names are revealed..
Got an RE 20 that's been driven over. Still works like it was new.
Would love to see you do a review of 3u audio mics
Good video, Team PLAP. Thanks!
"Warren! He's warren Warren Warren! And he's cool"🤣
I will say most of these were super close but the match pair of 87s was insane
Thanks Nate!!
Hit song!
"Microphone #2 is 2db louder than #1" - Warren 😂
Haha indeed
You really needed to put the JZ 67 up against the real U67 to hear the difference and whether the JZ67 stands up to the vintage or re-issue U67. I suppose it's a matter of personal preference but since doing a vocal session running the JZ through a Neve 1073 slightly hot and using a LA-2A compressor has now made me want that vocal chain more than I want the re-issue Neumann U67.
I’m fairly sure these JZ mics are from the original team from Baltic Latvian (Blue).
They are! Well, the designer is.
All I can say is WOW, super ears!!!!
Haha thanks very much
The AKG C12. It looks like an AKG C414 EB vintage( which I think came originally from the C12, the C12A, then C12b ). Does it have a brass ring or nylon ring CK 12 capsule? Is there a big difference between the cylindrical C12, the A/ B, 412 and 414EB early versions? Anyway from a quality and price point the JZ is the chicken dinner surely. The 414 EB can go for almost 6 grand, which is not sweety money, lets be honest. Bloomin great video. Cheers lads
This would be the c12a Eric mis poked but we have that pointed out in the text!
@@MelTorres Ah cheers Mel. Great shoot-out and great video from your good self and Eric. Cheers
Yes, it's an AKG C12a as the caption indicated, it was just Eric misspeaking!
@@Producelikeapro Ah ok cheers. Sorry I wasn't trying to be smart. Was just interested. Does it have the brass or the nylon ring on the capsule.
really cool !
Thanks ever so much!
Width is the main thing I hear between the JZ and $$$. They just don't sound as open.
I liked the Warren song.
Kudo to Warren's ears! And a fun video.
Thanks Peter! I really appreciate it!
Sad to watch lol such an honest video tho first time my 1200 budget ass came to terms w the fact that the 1200 dollar mics will never get to the u87 level because those mics cost that much for a reason lol
c12 and u47 all the weight in low mids and way smoother treble. where the money is. i dont know for sure but i suspect those 2 jz do not have a transformer in them
as ive noticed in my own experience with quality gear, the vintage gear sounds like a record straight away, like you dont even want to eq it or anything. the jzs were ok
wow very impressive!
Hi Matthias! Thank you! Cheers!
warren shows up que imperial march..... i laugh out loud so hard
Haha thanks Kip!
Eric , seriously good podcast 👍
Dang Warren you are indeed the man
Thanks Don!
That Rhymin’ is Crime’n…..sheesh 🙄
JZ mics... Greetings from Latvia👍
Hey, thanks!
Great singer. Wow. Goosebumps when he went into Billie Jean.
Thanks Chris!
JZ microphones have serious pedigree.. Juris Zarins is a genius
Éric, had a pop quiz!
Haha indeed
The Boss knows his job, obviously.
Haha thanks Marin!
Unfortunately there is a lot of difference between V47 and U47 on vocal 😢
Warren’s “Yeah, baby!” had a bit of Austin Powers to it.
Hah that was the idea!
6:11 What no cup of tea?
The U47 is a thousand times richer and warmer than the JZ, there is no comparison...
vintage microphones sounds much more better to me
Thanks ever sharing
amazing work🔥🔥🔥🔥 lets go warren Huart nice video love it. I'm giving you 34,723.00 likes from Jake Kodweis Style from google time break
So this clearly answers the question 'Does Vintage really sound better?' from three days ago - at least for mics...
Do you think it’s vintage? The U87’s are brand new and the U47 is old, yes, but it’s also a very expensive mic. The components alone are many times more expensive that the JZ Mics
@@Producelikeapro Well, U87ai is a vintage design with expensive discrete components (compared to the Neumann TLM models with SMD PCBs) - and I don't question that thorough reissues like the U67 (wish I had one) can fully match their historic counterparts, too. However, when these designs were new, at least the U87 was not overly expensive... Thanks for the impressive shootout!
This mic is great, just not looks luxury enough to attract client.
The JZ mics are a bit thin. It was very obvious which one was which in the tests.
They're still definitely mixable
I can only afford one. Ha. So I guess it’s my fav Rode 1A
'SOME A BEAT'..🤔
THIS IS NOT CORRECT HOW TO MIC ACOUSTIC PIANO NEED MORE MICS PULL PIANO THREE TO 4 FT FROM WALL AND MIC SOUND BOARD STRAIGHT ACROSS IN BACK THEN MIC HARP IN FRONT MUCH THINNER TINNY SOUNDING BRIGHT OFF OF THE HARP MUCH FULLER SOUNDING AND WARM OFF OF SOUND BOARD IN BACK UPPER MIDDLE AND BOTTOM ALL AT SAME LEVEL OR DIAG BOTTOM BASE MIDDLE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER HIGHS OR JUST ONE IN MIDDLE THREE FT AWAY FROM SOUND BOARD IN BACK MUCH BETTER SOUND THEN THE STEEL HARP IS WAY TO THIN IN FRONT AND ITS NOT HOW PIANO IS DESIGNED IT HAS SOUND BOARD LIKE GUITAR ITS THE WOOD IN THE BACK THATS THE SOUND BOARD
Not a fan of the "blue" theme here but that's just me.
Happy Birthday Warren
Thanks ever so much
