How can I clean my microphone?
We have published an article on how to properly clean your microphone here: Microphone cleaning.
I am thinking about buying one of your microphones, but which one is your best model?
What the best Neumann microphone is, depends on the intended use and personal preferences. We strongly recommend that you try out all the mics in question – with the sound source and the room you are dealing with. Based on the results, it is easiest to make a decision.
Furthermore, feel free to visit our “Neumann Home Studio Academy” playlist on YouTube to watch comprehensive tutorials including audio samples and product information to assist you in making a decision.
What is the difference between a condenser and a dynamic microphone?
Due to its extremely low mass, the diaphragm of a condenser microphone can follow the sound waves more accurately than that of a dynamic microphone with a (relatively) heavy moving coil attached. Condenser microphones, therefore, offer superior sound quality and have always been the preferred type for studio use. Many dynamic microphones were designed for stage use and are therefore very robust.
What preamp should I use for my Neumann microphones?
Preamps, like microphone selection, is highly subjective.
We are a bit partial to the preamps in the Neumann MT 48 however !
Where can I test your microphones and monitors?
For demonstration inquiries, please contact your local dealer or your local distributor.
Do you offer the wooden boxes for my TLM 103 seperately?
The box with the item no. 074978 is available as a spare part and can be ordered via any dealer.
Why are you not considering a reissue of the U 47?
The U 47's VF14 tube has been out of production for decades. Therefore, a reissue of this microphone is very challenging.
