1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,920
what's up guys it's josh from soul
2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,560
studios and i'm really excited to share
3
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,120
with you part one of what i hope turns
4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,679
out to be the ultimate u87 style
5
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:11,599
microphone shootout
6
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:14,000
and i try not to use words like epic and
7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,440
whatever you know that you see in
8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,359
youtube videos that work with the
9
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:18,640
algorithm
10
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,800
but i really hope that this is the best
11
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,199
87 shootout that's out there and i
12
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:24,960
didn't really plan on doing this i did
13
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,320
the bee's knees review i did the serrano
14
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,640
really happy with both of those mics i i
15
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,640
kept them you know still on them to this
16
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,520
day so i wasn't really thinking like oh
17
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,680
maybe i still need a vintage 87 but i
18
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,920
got to looking around at the shootouts
19
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,120
that were out there
20
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:41,920
and i
21
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,680
really don't mean this as a criticism
22
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,320
because anybody that does youtube videos
23
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,440
i have
24
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,079
respect for these are not easy to make
25
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,760
and anybody that does shootouts i have
26
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,840
respect for because you open yourself up
27
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,800
to
28
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,280
be easily criticized but there were a
29
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,719
couple things that bothered me about
30
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:01,440
what i saw out there and i did my best
31
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
to address those things in this review
32
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,799
so issue number one a lot of reviews do
33
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,960
not have a vintage u87 in the shootout
34
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,360
and it's kind of funny i mean it's a u87
35
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000
shootout so if you don't have a u87 it's
36
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,040
kind of hard to call it a u87 shootout
37
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,119
the other thing is most of the modern
38
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:23,439
companies that are making u87 clones
39
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:24,400
claim
40
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,920
to be modeled after a u87i which is the
41
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,920
vintage model not the modern u87 ai
42
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,079
so i really wanted to make sure we got
43
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:35,680
it right there so
44
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,360
i took my time i found a good 1979
45
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,159
neumann u87 all original electronics
46
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:44,399
original capsule that's in good
47
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:45,439
condition
48
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,360
it hasn't been reskinned and hasn't been
49
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,439
modded the first mic that i found turned
50
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:51,119
out to have been modded so that didn't
51
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:51,920
work
52
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,759
so anyway
53
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:57,119
step one we got a good vintage u87
54
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:00,719
step two we have a neumann u87ai
55
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,560
and what's important about that is it
56
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,360
was bought brand new from uh authorized
57
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,640
dealer because there are a lot of
58
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,360
knock-off neumann u87 ais floating
59
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,039
around out there
60
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,720
and lastly the serrano the bee's knees
61
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,120
and the warm audio
62
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,840
were also purchased new from authorized
63
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,319
dealers or in the case of serrano and
64
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:24,560
bee's knees purchased directly from the
65
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800
manufacturer themselves
66
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,560
if you're going to do a shootout and you
67
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,560
buy a used piece of gear it's kind of
68
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040
hard to know if that gear has been taken
69
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680
care of it has been modified
70
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760
did somebody swap out some part and so
71
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,120
forth so
72
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,280
i said all that to say i didn't take the
73
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,680
easiest route i definitely took the most
74
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,360
expensive route
75
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,879
and i hope
76
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:48,480
that turns out to be something really
77
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,560
useful for all of us so what i want to
78
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,959
do here quickly in part one is i want to
79
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:55,280
start out by doing a blind shootout
80
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,599
that's another area where i think
81
00:02:57,599 --> 00:02:59,760
and i'm guilty of this myself when i
82
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,920
watch the 87 shootouts that are out
83
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:02,720
there
84
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,519
and it says neumann on the screen i'm
85
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:06,959
conditioned to think oh this one's
86
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,640
probably going to be best
87
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:09,519
so
88
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:11,280
the first step here is going to be a
89
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,640
short review
90
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,920
it's a quick example of me playing and
91
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,400
singing hallelujah by jeff buckley
92
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480
when it says mic a
93
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,040
microphone a was used for the vocal and
94
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,120
for the amp the clean electric amp track
95
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,120
in the case of the amp i swapped out the
96
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,840
mic for each take but it was a di
97
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,159
recording so it was a reamp so the
98
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:36,159
guitar performance is exactly the same
99
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:37,360
every time
100
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,280
the vocal performance is exactly the
101
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,440
same because i capsule aligned all the
102
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,480
mics
103
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040
and sang into the sweet spot of all of
104
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,280
them the best i could at one time so
105
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,120
that is the same vocal tape that you
106
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,760
hear through all five examples so let's
107
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,439
start this off in the most fun way
108
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:55,920
possible and that is with a blind
109
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400
shootout because i want us to put our
110
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,280
biases aside i want us to put name
111
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760
recognition aside vintage aside all
112
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,920
those things that can influence what we
113
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,360
think that we're hearing by something
114
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,120
that we're reading or seeing with our
115
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,159
eyes
116
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,159
let's listen to mike a
117
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,599
b c d e and let's see if we can find a
118
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,160
clear winner so check out this example
119
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,160
here and we'll chat real quickly at the
120
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,510
