Yes, I'm a bit sceptic to those frequency tailored mics... but compared to the TLM103 it seems a bit more balanced, no? TLM103 just adds alot of top end it seems. I will get a chance to try out a friends 103 soon though. I've only used the U47FET never a 'cheapo' neumann. But considering I've been using a AT4033 (which I kinda like, got some killer vocals with 4033+En-Voice!) in my own studio, the TLM49 should be quite a step up?

Absolutely.... the AT4033, although inexpensive, is one of those mics that any experienced mic locker should contain. But yeah, we're talking a whole other level here.

Back to the U47 talk, you might want to look into the Lawson 47..... we don't sell them, but it's an excellent mic! A very colleague and friend of mine wrote this review:

The Lawson sure looks interesting. Not sure it's available here though. Gotta try to find that out though...

How about the Telefunken AK 47 or Peluso 2247?

An original Telefunken, sure.....one today? Well, just purchasing the name doesn't make it the original.

Yeah, but it makes it affordable.

I'm just throwing the OP two more suggestions. I can't personally vouch for either of them. I've read favorable user reviews though.

But it's NOT a "Telefunken" just because the name says it is....
