I'm thinking about the Lauten. My dream mic is the Soyuz 017. It's so frustrating to not be able to try them before I buy. I had a TLM 103 and honestly compared to my at4033 I just couldn't see the hype.
Great and very useful video! All the microphones in the world must love your voice Carl! Surprisingly in this instance I liked the AKG the best . I have wanted to buy a tlm 49 but now im not sure that it is an upgrade from my Gefell m930...another thing which makes me reconsider the Tlm 49 is the results I recently got with an old "made in Us" Shure sm57. Sometimes non-condenser mics surprises.
Thanks for kind words, checking out the video and commenting. I’ve always been a fan of the 414. It never never disappoints for me. I like the TLM49 for how it takes processing as well as the natural character of a mic without a transformer. I want to try some Gefell stuff for sure as I’ve heard good stuff about them.
I still can't believe the TLM 49 doesn't come with a case but the TLM 103, TLM 107, and every other more expensive Neumann option does. It sounds so good!!!! Next favorite was the 414. A classic as always. Great informative vid man!
Mannn!!!! I totally agree! An 1700-1800 mic with a box is crazy. They could’ve just made a case the same size as the box. But tonally, I LOVE IT! The 414 is always in order in my opinion. It just works! I really honestly enjoy the DA87. It’s still has presence but isn’t overly excited on the top end.
They don't make their cases for the microphones with shockmounts. So when you buy the mic with the chockmount (aka Studio Set) it will not include a case. Neumann are weird with their accessories, and they charge an arm and and a leg for them. Certainly no people pleasers those good old germans. But they make great microphones.
All these mics sound really good and can have their own place in a studio. For me, the TLM49 has the most polished sound. But for this price range I would pick the Stam SA87T which I think is above all of these mics from here. Great review you did on the SA87T too! Cheers!
Appreciate the love! Do you need mutiple polar patterns? Are you trying to have more sounds than 1 from your mic? If any of those answers are no then get the TLM49
The DA87 was surprisingly nice. Especially on your voice. Crispy yet warm. That one, and the Lauten on neutral were my favourites in this one. The forward mode was way to sharp for me though.
I think the da87 is one of the better u87 idea clones on the market. It has the nature of what the u87 is… utilitarian piece. I’m still looking for the right combination with Forward mode on the Lauten Audio mics. I haven’t actually ran into a source dark enough for it.
Carl can you do a broke cats series of mic tests. I tried to find mics that are versatile and dirt cheap . Cad m139, Mxl genesis, cad,eq 300, blue reactor, Rode nt2 but i will leave the line up to you. These are just suggestions.
@@Furybeatsgme I actually posted a video where I picked a few mics that I thought were similar to each mode on the Atlantis. It’s on the channel. Check it out and let me know your thoughts
Thanks for the comparisson. I own a TLM49 and it's my favorite mic for spoken word applications.
Thanks for including us, Carl! 😄
Always!! I stand by my Lauten Audio gear confidently. It’s never let me down and your concepts are so innovative!
@@CarlMooreMusic we are so grateful for the support.🙏
@@LautenAudio you’ve got guaranteed support this way!

I recently bought the c414 XLS and it’s the best mic in my locker

Good stuff man!
Much appreciated!!!
TLM 103 IS REALLY GREAT AND THE AT 4040 FOR MY SETUP.
Nice video as always. TLM49 or Lauten FC387 ? I don’t know which one to get. 😢
Appreciate the love!

@ thank you ❤️🙏🏾
Love your vids bro, helped me decide on the Atlantis, love it!! Not a regret at all
Definitely glad to hear that!! The Atlantis is a beast of a microphone!
Thanks for the kind words and the support!

Awesome work Carl!!
Definitely appreciate it bro!!!
We need to do an episode together!
Thanks for the content man!
Yessir! Doing what we can!!!
Carl can you do a broke cats series of mic tests. I tried to find mics that are versatile and dirt cheap . Cad m139, Mxl genesis, cad,eq 300, blue reactor, Rode nt2 but i will leave the line up to you. These are just suggestions.
I can work on that for sure! I know there are all level budgets out there.
Sterling Audio ST69 used.
Hi brother you need tried the neumann tlm 107 fire bro
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve seen a few videos on it and it has peaked my interest!
Thanka, Carl - how would you say the da87 conpares wirh a real neumann u87ai on terms of fullness and transients? Great reviews!
Interestingly enough I’ve got a video comparing the two and you can check it out here :

@@CarlMooreMusic thank you so much!
Por 1500 dólares, para grabar cosas similares a lo que haces, con mucho rap, ¿Atlantis sería una opción confiable?
your voice reminds me of musiq soulchild 😀 then suddlenly you sang a soulchild song hahahaha
He has definitely been an influence on me!
bxls is the same with xls?
My apologies but yes the xls is just a newer production run. I think they stopped the bXLS in the mid to late 2000s
do you have maybe a comparison xls vs bxls?@@CarlMooreMusic
@paokdz I can make that for sure!! I’ve got both versions
@@CarlMooreMusic perfect!!
Thanks for the vid. C414 for the win on you voice here.
Key word broke but good
neutral is like a 49 and forward is like a 103 lol

@@CarlMooreMusic definitely gonna check that out
tlm 49 all the way...
It's one of my favorite mics and I don't feel like it gets the love it deserves!
