Neumann U87ai vs TLM 67 - Transformer/Transformerless & Aim Audio - The Microphone Playboy Podcast

[@kennethgithinji5631]

This is a no bullshit, straight to the point microphone

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Which mic? I think both of them are, but I'm curious which one you're liking better here.

[@kennethgithinji5631]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff I was talking about the Aim Microphone. The design, pad, pattern, bypassing the transformer circuit. Very utilitarian It sounds quite good. I was not expecting such a price to be honest. I would like to get a Mic Parts. Not sure which transformer pic yet. I am a singer on full bass and tenor range and a voice over artist to.

Interesting product. Did you contact them? if not, you should! As for the U87 and the TLM67, I prefer the richness of the U87 - and also the transformer saturation and slight compression. But the 67 sounds great! Both in one? IMPOSSIBLE!

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

I have sent an inquiry to AIM mics, but have not heard back. Since they haven't released it yet, it may be too early, but I'm hoping they respond.

[@badmiddens]

Holy Cow, they look exactly like a remote. Especially the multi.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

It does. I had a remote for a sound bar that had the same shape.

The microphone will be released in late 2024 apparently. The cost of the microphone for the Essence is $499 and the Inspire MSRP is $799. It is interesting and looks good to me. The shock mount is also very versatile, so it should be easy to point it in the direction you want.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thanks Curtis! Definitely curious about this one.

[@kennethgithinji5631]

I feard that it would cost more

[@curtishustace]

@@kennethgithinji5631 I pulled it off of their website. So they may have changed the price.

[@Danny-Lightning-WR]

That aim mic does sound interesting. your 87 sounds a bit warmer and i like that better over that 67

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Hey Danny! Yeah man, you are totally right. The 67 does not have the warmth of its better known sibling.
