Soyuz 017 Tube vs Neumann U87

How does the Russian made Soyuz 017 Tube compare to the legendary Neumann U87? Take a listen and find out.

Focus on the breaths. Soyuz, albeit darker, handles those very well. It takes EQ slightly better than the U87. Actually reminds me a lot of the U67 but with more bottom.

I agree, U67ish with some 47 mixed in. It's a great sound!
