How to chose a DIY microphone from microphone-parts.com (MicParts) 

and I have returned after 1 year again )))

Yes, the U87 always was a good all around mic for many studios. It happens to fit my voice very well. When I have a customer comming in the studio, I always start with the S87 and if I find it to bright for the voice I go with the T47 or too dark the T12. It's my first EQ move on the audio ! :)

Thanks Marcel !

There is no perfect solution, several takes means you can't do null tests.. But the difference you here in this video give a idea how different the mics are... ;)

Methinks you should build them and test yourself!

The only part that you need to turn is the base near the connector.. So one hand on the body near the grill and the other at the base. Check my building video, it will help : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-svC2z_S6mTg.html

They all work perfectly for any genre of music.. it is more about the timber of the voice itself. The S87 is a good all around, if the voice has a lot of sibilance, go with the 47 and if the voice sounds dark the HF bumb on the t12 will help.. If you are recording many customer's voices, go with the S87, it will work great on the majority of voice types and it takes EQ very well...

@@MarcoPrimeau thanks for everything, i think the best, for every vocal, is the s87. Thank you.

@@OneFlow.Cacique It's a great all around mic.. I used it on this cover ; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ULmioeMHkjM.html

it depends what you want to record.. for vocal, the S87 is more of a do it all. But if what you want to record has some agressive high frequencies, like cymbals or a lot of sibilance in a vocal, then the S47 or T47 is a good choice..

Yes, the T47 has a transformer in its design and the S47 does not. The transformer will give it some subtle character and the S47 will be being a bit cleaner. Its design will also give a bit more sensitivity. (The S87 I have needs about 3-5db less gain on the preamp)

Do you mean harmonica ? In any case, it always depends on the source. The T47 has less high frequencies and rounder low end. It is best used on agressive high frequencies like sibilant voices or very nazal sounds, like violins. And it also do a great job on low frequency driven instruments, like bass and bassdrums, cello etc..

@@MarcoPrimeau Thank you. Sorry for my English, I would say : for Overtone singing 😊

To my knowledge, there isn't any mic that does it all like that.. I suggest you avoid USB mics or mics build specially for smartphones. The quality isn't very good. Also high quality recordings ask for far more than a mic. Quality instrument, room treatement, preamp etc.. Some interfaces exist for smartphones, like the Roland Go: Mixer Pro. You could buy this and a regular XLR mic and be good with the smartphones then good with any computer audio interface that has mic inputs. If you want more suggestions, you can go to www.recording.org . It's free and full of experienced recordist and also pro engineers ;)

bruh i hate to break it to you but that doesn’t exist.

Just get a zoom portable recorder or something. Always buy XLR mics
