This is great! So good to see this, delivered by someone who really knows their stuff and with obvious passion. This explains why these mics sound so musical.

Is he saying that the transformer mic provided natural compression without artifacts?

[@christophernoia5197]

That’s what I think he’s getting at.

Yesss... that's why vintage tube+transformer German mics are the Holy Grail of the classic sound we all like.

[@skillzmcgavern]

@@biula3278 Another factor - all the transformers on consoles/outboard from back then
