Is a $7,000 Mic Worth It? - Neumann U67 Reissue Review / Test (vs SM7B, TLM 103, U87 Ai, WA67)

Today I review the best microphone ever made, or at the very least one of them, the Neumann U67 Reissue. This is a multi pattern tube condenser microphone that sounds amazing. It offers a fairly controlled low end, neutral-ish mid section and a smooth top end that avoids sibilance and harshness. One main down side is the price and the Max SPL only hitting 124dB.
