Neumann TLM 103 is great for narration and just about anything else available at any price for voiceover. Often compared to it's big brother the U87 and almost three times less money. The Neumann TLM 103 delivers. This Mic is like Milk Chocolate and one of the quietest microphones available. The Neumann TLM103 makes any voice over actor sound great.
The Sennheiser MKH-416 P48 microphone is a shotgun mic used on television sets. Voice Talent Artists use this for Movie Trailer Voice-Overs and anything else when they need a microphone to cut-through the mix. Known as the L.A. mic, because of it's popularity in the Los Angeles area. The Sennheiser MKH-416 is the screaming bullet you may want. The Sennheiser MKH-416 is in our personal microphone collection and we often use it for ADR.
The Sounddelux U195 is now called the Bock Audio 195 microphone. Bock Audio 195 large-diaphragm FET microphone is practically two mics in one, as it lets you select between "fat" and "norm" modes for bass response tailoring, as well as providing a lo-cut switch. A unique variable pad allows the 195 to operate in even the highest SPL situations. This handmade premium microphone has great extended high and low frequency response, fantastic dynamic impact, and no typical FET mic high end "fizzle". Voice Over Talents will stand out in the sonic quality of this bad ass microphone! Big Bang for the Buck. The Telefunken R-F-T AK47 microphone provides an exceptionally clean and warm tone, substantial gain, dark sounding and extraordinary low end with extended high frequency response, while preserving the classic tube sound of the Telefunken microphones and landing somewhere between a Neumann U47 and Neumann M49... For Voice Over Talent the Telefunken R-F-T AK47 is a must have in your mic locker. A remote 9 polar pattern external power supply and a New Old Stock Telefunken EF732 sub miniature tube will make this baby purrr.

The Brauner Phantom C is also available in the Brauner Phantom AE (Anniversary Edition) in Black or Nickel. The new Brauner Phanthera is often used for voice overs when you need more character and not a clean sound. This Tube Microphone has some growl to it....the Lawson L47MP MKII features the Lawson reproduction of the M7 capsule used in the legendary U47 and M49 microphones. The Lawson L47MP MKII utilizes the 6N1P vacuum tube ... the same tube used in the award winning Lawson L251.

Paired up with the Avalon VT-737sp or Mindprint DTC the Neumann U87 will take your voice overs to the next level.... or you can mod your U87 with the InnerTUBE Audio U87 RetroFit kit that will convert your U87 into a U87 tube microphone.. recomend using NOS E88CC NOS Mullard Tube (Holland)....The Innertube U87 RetroFit adds a sonic dimension and clarity that to us sounds even better than the stock U87....Neumann U87 Innertube RetroFit ads a lot more bottom and much more open on top...much, much, "bigger" sonically than a stock 87 that will make your voice cut through. We Also recommend looking into the Neumann M147 tube microphone. Manley Reference Cardioid Microphone has that rich tonal balance and liquid character with Warmth and Clarity. Manley Reference Cardioid Microphones proximity effect offers pretty good immunity from pops and sibilance problems. The Manley Reference Cardioid will add more testosterone to any Voice Talent.

With the styling of an old German U-47 microphone and the unique characteristics of either multi pattern shown in (blue) or fixed cardioid in (red) and able to turn off rear of capsule for capturing perfect cardioid reproduction. The HORCH RM2J has combinations of flavors that ads to its own unique sound signature... This is a killer mic! Our Voice Talents love the Telefunken U47 M microphone for the smooth in-your-face presence and punchy tone. A meticulous recreation of the classic tube microphone. Telefunken U47 - a must have for your Microphone collection. This is the Holy Grail of Microphones. Big Bottom End with Wonderful Low-Mids/Mids/Upper-Mids. Since they don't make the Neumann U47 anymore you can find used Neumann U47 on the net. Do your research on the condition and the specs of any used U47 mics out there. The VF14m tubes and the power supply and capsuls are a must to take a long look at and ask questions about when you buy it somewhere.
