Hi Klaus, thanks for looking at that, i do appreciate it.
I passed on this one-had a chance to audition an M149 earlier this week and it felt like I was using an FET/solid state mic. Some good stuff going on in the low frequencies, but the whole top half of the frequency spectrum felt slightly clinical and seemed to be on the edge of being shrill in the pesky upper mids.
I had a chance to compare a Neumann TLM102 to the M149-which i think is always valuable when auditioning mics. I had no previous experience with the TLM102. But I much preferred the voicing on the TLM102 compared to the M149.
I was surprised how high the TLM102 was punching here, considering the thousands and thousands of dollars gap between these two mics.
Thanks again.
