- This is a side by side comparison of the Blue enCORE 200 and the Neumann TLM103 on male vocals. To get in the Christmas spirit, Jon sang Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song". The mics were both plugged into a Ridge Farms Gas Cooker Tube Mic Preamp and were level matched in Logic Pro X.
In the video, you'll be able to toggle between each mic as well as dry/effected signals.
The effects used are as follows:
Stock Logic EQ with about 3dB taken out of the ~400Hz range.
Light 2:1 compression with the Klanghelm DC8C
Medium-sized vocal plate
Settings on the plug-ins were identical on both tracks. - Hudba
i was not expecting this lol thought he was about to rap
A MILLION DOLLAR VOICE on a 100 usd microphone breaks all marketing and engineering brands rules. Great to hear this.
Hahaha! I did NOT expect that voice! Dude keep at it, with just a LITTLE bit more control you'd be fucking amazing. Good job man
No doubt! LOTS of potential there. Dude has amazing tonal style, just needs to work a bit more on tonal control. Would love to hear more of him later.
end of 2021 who’s listening? awesome voice dude!
i so did not exspect a voice like that come from you haha, good job man! cool voice
The Encore 200 has a low end weight that the TLM103 doesn't have, and is slightly more grainy sounding. The highs and mids seem to be right on part with each other is a scary good way.
Voice of an angel for real
For a $150 dynamic mic the Blue is impressive here. Tested with and without efx.
Great character to your voice.
Pretty close. Great voice. Cheers.
Damn!! i didn't except that kind of voice =O .. amazing (Y) make business with it bro
wow that was unexpectted ...niceeeee
This mic is "in your face", just what I need.
I'm not sure, but the Blue enCORE 200 costs around 200$ in my local music store, while the TLM 103 is around 900-1000$
I've been wanted to order a TLM 102 (not 103) or just a Røde NT1A microphone, cause it seems to be very nice.
I've made a lot of songs with a 120$ sound card and a 70$ microphone that a lot of musicians seem to love, and listen to, so it's not only the sound quality I think.
It's of course nice if the sound is higher quality, but I think if its good mixed and mastered, and the vocals are good rapped or sung and recorded, then it almost doesn't matter what mic someone uses.
I don't know, man you sing really good!!
TheRussianGenius ok playboy... send me the link to you’re $70 mic song. Please...
Nigga please
the neumann has such a smoother attack and big room reverb vibe. with some tweaks it can sound similar.
Nice comparison. I like the Blue better.
+Frederick Glazier Yea, the 200 has more warmth, depth & natural character.
thats because the neumann lets you hear how he really sounds
Dont know what anyone else is listening through; important; I went through the HD600s.. The 103 is a nice mic; sweet spot is usually 200-250mm and up to 300mm for bass heavy vox so either way its not really in the right position..but its chalk and cheese to me; I really like Blue mics and have the Bottle etc but in this comparison, the 200 has typical dynamic wooly character (I was doing blind test) and it makes the singer (really nice tone voice btw) sounds a bit nasally/boxy 400-800 to me..the diff is like polished stainless (not a mirror though) versus stainless finished with 1000 grit. Its still ok but I dont think its a fair comparison...the weight of the diaphragm in the dynamic is also compressing the articulations in the voice. Would love to have heard comparison of Encore 300 - that would have been great! Thanks for level matching too...some tests have gain matched which is of no use. Dont know what cables are being used but they are not the same...either Analysis Plus Pro Oval or Vovox really shine in this situation. Im not joking...cables and lengths really matter.
The first test is Blue enCORE 200 ?
Might need to try listening through something better...103 is first by far
Yup. Notice the mixer display.
Yeah I thought he was going to rap also
