The Avantone CV12 is by far the best recording microphone out of all of these and many more. Especially for the price. It's a steal.

The Avantone is really natural sounding and clear. Very nice.

I actually think the sE and the Lauten sounded the best to my ear. The sE seemed like a much richer tone, but for the pricepoint difference between these... the Lauten is the clear winner in my book. If used in a mix... I don't feel that any of these would sound bad at all. I guess it depends on what you're recording. Thanks for the review.

Hmmm, didn't fall immediately in love with any of the mics. The Lauten and SE sounded solid on the guitar, a little different position on the Lauten to avoid the boom and bring the top a little closer would sound nice. I've got two Avantone Cv12's and was never impressed by how they sounded. That low mid bump and crunchy upper mid isn't real fantastic. The Cv12's are fairly simple to mod into better microphones, pushing them closer to the newer Telefunken RFT series mics. But, I suppose you could just buy a Copperhead and skip the fuss.

I got the NTK and been using it for a few years. I've never really liked it, the top end "sizzles" a bit too much for my taste. I've looked around online and it seems a lot people don't like the tube that comes installed in it and recommend changing it with an ecl86 tube instead.

def. agree, ur gunn have to eq that 320 tho for vocals... but its definitly the most full and it gives u something to work with, the cv12 avatone u might not need to eq as much but ur gunna have to compress more or boost some mid range or 5 k in the eq, im not a fan of boosting eq, only cutting, i know its really not different but it is lol, and its weird how the SE sounds so great on the guitar but by far the worst on the vocals, IN MY OPINION everyone has their own but have one with some high quality head phones on or some nice monitors before u just start talking shit listening off laptop speakers

Greetings, this was an awesome line up for mics shootout. I own a few of these mics and one thing I picked up on this shootout is the Ssssssssss cutting threw even with the spoken vocal. I'm wondering what was added to the vocal chain that pushed those Sssssss to the forefront? Also my ntk sounds a ton warmer, nice on rb and rap, where cv12 sounds more like a pop vocal Mic, but on this shootout they both did not sound like they usually sound. Am I the only person that ears are having a hard time with this shootout? Please list vocal chain and effects settings if any. Thanks.
