This is the ultimate microphone comparison video. In this video I’m comparing 6 microphones for RAP vocals and in two other videos, I've covered male vocals and female vocals. I've got a huge variety of mics here - the industry's best and even a budget mic that's super popular for home studios. I demo the mic in three different songs with a blind test as well! The mics in this video include the Neumann TLM 103, AKG C414, Manley Reference, Rode NT1A, Neumann U87, and the Warm Audio WA-87.

I love how you compared the mic to two different rappers (Lalo and Vin) with different styles! You could really hear a difference cause of their unique tones, cadence and rhythm 🎵

[SiegeYT_]

The Rode NT1A is a killer for the price! Been using mine since last month and I absolutely loved it ✨✨✨

[raphael]

No way this only has 15k views. This is some QUALITY content!

[브루클린나인나인]

I chose 2 and both were Neumann! What an interesting result lol . I like how 2 different great rappers help your review. And it's also amazing everyone can see how great my dude Vin is 😎

[sleepyhoops]

Thank you Sanjay and Dharti for the opportunity, y’all are the Goats fr~ btw tbh after watching this video my favorite mic changed yet again 😂

[tonewave]

Wow that is incredible comparison! I’m shocked how good the nt1a sounded good

[iamshiv]

I was rooting for Neumann TLM-103 but in this video really loved the sound of Manley Reference microphone. I guess it depends on texture of vocals and genre too.

[sahrngaujah]

Nice review as always, Sanjay. Beautiful microphones. That AKG is dope. I look forward to a day you will do a comparison between WA 8000 and the Telefunken TF 29.

[jasonwilliamson]

103 hands down. I'm biased. I've owned one for 25 years. I know and love that sound. Have had many songs on the radio tv with this mic. Paired with an la 610. Gold.

[carbonvibes]

Amazing job to you, Lalo and Vin. Thanks for putting this together and sharing with us Sanjay C. My favorite was the Neumann U87, there is something about the sound that stands out from the others.

[FernandoDCDuarte]

For Lalo, I liked C, E and F.
With Vin, with lower range vocals, I didn't enjoy C as much, and was between E amd F (the most expensive one and the cheapest one 😳).
Happy to see that my Rode NT1A holds its strength agaisnt the heavy lifters!

[audreyrose]

Wild. I chose D and F. F is right up my price point alley. Thank you for this!

[MickBenjamins]

Rode makes amazing microphones, was great to see them among the heavy hitters here

[KnomadDojo]

I’m subscribing based off this vid. Can’t cap I got happy af to see Lalo in the thumbnail. And the other artist, Vin, I like his style so ima be checkin him out as well.

[FTMStudios]

I've said for a long time people doing these kind of reviews need to record on all the mics at once… Great job

[Fastfatfurious]

this video was probably the biggest help ive had in my gear search so far. I was initially discouraged by all the 1k+ pricetags, but from the blind test, I was surpised by F

[KiDAppleBorg]

Sanjay! Loved your rap production! TLM103 sounded pretty cool. Talent on display!

[AceeSoul]

Excellent reviews! I have a NT1, but I will be grabbing a 414 since it's so versatile.

[davidsinclair]

The results stunned me. 1. RodeNT1-A and 2. U87. I really didn't like the TLM-103 which I loved on the female and male vocals.

[pratitghosh]

The Neumann TLM has been my top pick throughout the three videos... It feels so... Flat...? Yet slightly coloured! Loved it
