I just received my Universal Audio Bock 187 microphone. Although I didn’t yet have time to do a side by side comparison, it sounds very similar to my Neumann U87. The only difference being that the Bock is a cardioid pattern only.
@henrikpetersson3463
@henrikpetersson3463 8 месяцев назад
They are very similar from what I've heard in demos. The Bock has a bit more highs and lows, not as smooth in top end. Thinking about getting one as well. How do you like it so far?
@sunnyboner676
@sunnyboner676 8 месяцев назад
@@henrikpetersson3463 so far, I love it! It lacks the top end sheen of the U87ai but that’s a bit of a plus for me as sibilance can be an issue with the Neumann. The fat switch on the Bock ads a nice fullness to the tone - even with vocals. Especially nice if you’re used to singing further from a microphone to avoid plosives. Definitely a bargain for the price.

@lastcall9998 5 месяцев назад

@sunnyboner676
@sunnyboner676 5 месяцев назад
@@lastcall9998 I love the Bock 187! It definitely is a bit darker than the U87ai and lacks the top end sizzle. As I commented before, sibilance is a bit of an issue for me, so I prefer the Bock. However on certain voices I’d use the U87ai to help bring out the top end on some singers’ voices. If I could only pick one mic out of the two, I’d keep the Bock and buy a couple of other mics with the leftover change. I recently purchased a pair of Austrian Audio CC8 pencil mics. The same could be said of it in comparison to the Neumann KM184 - very similar in nature, but lacks the top end sizzle. If you get the Bock 187, I highly doubt you’d regret your purchase.

@Frikoppie
@Frikoppie 4 месяца назад
Hybrid is that South African brand, right? I'm thinking of getting some cheap dynamic Shure sm57 clone mics (coz I have 2 reference mics, a superlux e205 and some other cheap things) from FTS, or some random WVNGR thingies, due to budget constraints and such. The FTS22 audio interface is surprisingly decent btw. Also, there are effectively dual mono XLR cables (though short) for like R120 at the moment. Also, I'm using Prodipe 3000s for monitoring duties at the moment, they're not the most comfortable (but relatively comfortable) without mods, but they sure do a good job in terms of pretty good linear balance (though I'd prefer more range). And have a good day.
@Frikoppie
@Frikoppie 4 месяца назад
Oh also, if you can get cheap good 32bit 384khz or better DAC things, I *highly* recommend that. I mean 24 bit 192khz is pretty much minimum for me, trying to listen to varied music or editing/monitoring 16 bit sort of low frequency rate is unbearable for me, it sounds so crap.

@eme Remember though, your hardware capabilities, circuitry, bandwidth, DAW, OS, plugins, etc will all influence the usability. You might also have/get ground loop sort of issues from EM. So there are a bunch of things to consider. And some of those issues can be very frustrating to diagnose/troubleshoot. Like there is terrible wiring in this house where I live, and not only, even "leakage" from the neighbour's electric fence that caused "pops" on my PC, coz the grounding wasn't proper, missing isolators, etc. Even test your plugs/extensions, speakers, combinations of plugs, etc. For instance, that 50/60hz hum is kinda annoying, if you know of thar. So some filtering methods, essentially...other than surge protectors also voltage regulators, ground loop isolators, things like that. In case you do get like a "dirty" signal, or the 50/60hz hum, one of the first things to do is just to make sure everything connected to your pc is connected to the same plug, basically, if that's possible.
@Frikoppie
@Frikoppie 4 месяца назад
@eme The quality of the DACs also vary significantly. Like the cheaper 32bit 384khz things are gonna be Realtek 4050s, and they have various issues (win10+ only, power state issues causing pops, except when they're buffered and like streaming a song, etc). Hardware specs and circuitry, OS settings, all of that stuff can make huge differences. I know, coz I've got a VERY crappy laptop, VERY old PC and also one of the Realtek 4050 DACs (which is to me, fine for playback on smartphones, etc, but kinda annoying for realtime editing in a DAW, as my hardware capabilities aren't great, EM interference issues, etc). Have a good day.
