I swear this man's voice is like butter haha I love this song! Glad to see you are back and hope your move is going well! The UTFET47 has a weird pinched upper mid sound that I actually strongly dislike. It also sounds very thin compared to the TLM49 unless it's going thru the Weight Tank (I wish I had space for that in my rack, but I can't let go of my Warm EQP-WA). That TLM49 is worth the price difference compared to this mic imo. Man I think this is two videos now that I have preferred the TLM49 over the other mic. Might need to put this one on my radar!
Thank you man for taking the time to watch, comment and contribute a sound perspective! I’ve found that I get better results out of the UTFET47 with the Trident 80b EQ. There’s a 50 cycles low cut filter but you can also boost the low end up to +12dB at 60 cycles (or a selectable 120Hz). That combo has helped DRASTICALLY when I use it. The weight tank is one of my FAVORITE comps man. For the price, it’s a no brainer to me. And it’s very musical in my opinion. The TLM49 is worth the price tag to me in most conditions. It does a good job at capturing and has the mid forward vibe that Neumann is known for. I actually think it’s the cheapest path to the Neumann sound. Again, thanks bro for always supporting man!!
Man your voice is the stuff!! Great shootout, nice to hear different contexts. I've used the TLM 49 for work at other studios before and have been wanting one for my own for about five years now. Super interested in the UT47, and while if I had to go with one, I'd probably use the TLM, they're both excellent and would happily use them both in a full tracking sesh on different things.
Humbled by the kind words! So for me with UT47, I was initially slightly thrown off by the leaner nature of the mic but it takes EQ well. Where it was needed, I beefed up some low end and the mic was solid/more than usable. For the price point, I think it’s a good addition to a locker if that tonality is needed. The TLM49 isn’t mentioned enough to me in the category of mid range higher end gear. Cardioid only but it’s got solid top end, the mids are forward and I like how the low end isn’t loose and wobbly.
Thanks for the comparison. I own the TLM49 and it's my prefered mic (together with the Gefell M930) - it's perfect for (my) voice overs, it offers clearity and warmth.
@@CarlMooreMusic You are welcome! I own my own M930 for a few months now after knowing it for a while. Besides it's sound characteristics and quality I like it's small form factor. It's tiny compared to the TLM49.
@@CarlMooreMusic It's totally worthit! Gefell microphones (which was founded by Georg Neumann - yes, Neumann Microphones) is well known in professional environment, radio stations all over,… BTW: After ordering I needed to wait 2,5 months till I got it - it was sold out everywhere ;(
I was hoping I would like the tlm 49 more, because it suits my wallet more than the Fet47. I can hear the smoothness of the tlm 49, but I think that the Fet 47 makes your voice more "in the room" like closer the the listener and very "real". You got a golden voice, your singing and phrases makes this a very good experience. Ive got a Gefell m930 its very good and easy til place. But im looking for a little more "Character"
I’ve heard how thin or lean the Fet47 is but I like using the Trident 80b EQ in whatever chain I’m using with it. I can achieve the body/girth that’s needed. I think it’s a solid mic. Much appreciation for the kind words! I may have to try that Gefell for sure
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. The TLM 49 is a clutch mic in my opinion. Cardioid only, but the tone is worth the price. I like the present top end but it doesn’t hurt my ears sonically. The UTFet gets a bad wrap but I enjoy it too. I just understand that I need it on specific sources and I always pair it with some sort of outboard EQ on the front end chain I pair with it. Much appreciation for the support!
Great success to your new place. Tlm49 sounds much better to my ears, smoother , warmer with much better balance. UTFet47 sounds artificially open with no low end weight, sounds cheap. Your voice sounds great as usual !
Definitely grateful for your support!!! I was surprised at the lean nature of the UTFet47 but I’ve paired it with some outboard EQ or EQ from the Antelope Audio AFX library and I’m able to get a more balanced sound out of it. Proximity effect isn’t boomy though, so I can get right up on it and remain safe. The TLM49 is a goto for me. I’ll especially for that Neumann vibe if that’s what I’m looking for.
It’s one of the most solid single patterned mics. But if you need other polar patterns, You’ll need another mic. But I agree, it’s superior to most in my opinion.
Thank you for the kind words! Stevie has influenced MANY decades of music. Being a pianist/multi-instrumentalist, it’s hard not to hear a little Stevie in your music! The TLM49 is a solid microphone in my personal opinion. I haven’t met a chain that I’ve included it in where it didn’t perform well.
the only difference I could detect was a slight narrower feel to the ut47, if i wasnt looking for a change i woudnt know these are two different mics! btw, the ut is half the price..so
I think there's a lot of bias in these comments I feel like It should have been a blind shoot out because I'm sitting here listening on my interface and that ut47 is a monster I wouldn't know they weren't both Neumann off listening alone and for me the tlm49 is different but not better
I appreciate comments like this because it’s a perspective that’s just as true any other. I use the UTFet ALOT man. I throw the trident 80b EQ in the chain with the bluey or weight tank and it’s SOLID. I had considered including a blind listening section in the future. Thanks again for checking out the video and commenting
I heard on UA-cam that UTFET47 is inverted. TLM49 sound is normal. This means that the inversion switch was accidentally turned on during recording or the XLR 2 and 3 connectors were reversed when the UTFET was shipped from the factory. You can import your audio into a DAW and add a phaser plug-in. Listen with headphones and you'll see if I'm right.
@@oscarhuang3768 none of the phase invert switches were incidentally or accidentally engaged on any of the preamps I used during the recording of this video. Mogami Gold called were used. There was nothing wrong there either. I have no need to import the UA-cam audio into my DAW because I recorded all the audio myself. Nothing you mentioned took place.

I’m familiar with the origin just have only seen vintage options and I don’t know anyone personally who has one to borrow or rent to test out
both mics sound great. I'm inspired to get the bluey compressor.
Thanks for the kind words, checking out the video and stopping by the channel. I agree, the both are solid mics and that Bluey is NICE!!!
That song and your vocal is killer! Personally, I think the TLM49 is the thing by a long shot.
Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel. The UTFet47 is leaner than expected but I like it. However, I’m still a fan of the TLM49

No problem man always what’s not to appreciate a informative and quality video and fair comparison it was spot on bro
They are so good for VO Drake, just plug and play, no waiting for tubes to warm up.
loved the sound of the tlm49 over the other mic. big difference.
Definitely two different tones. But useful in both rights.
Thanks for checking out the video and commenting!
Fire video and fire track. Subscribed!
Thank you for the support and the kind words!!!
Well played sir! Here you have your interaction!
This interaction is APPRECIATED!!!!
No comparison the tlm 49 is better. I have this mic...it's very clean and easy to add color into it.
Great success to your new place.
Tlm49 sounds much better to my ears, smoother , warmer with much better balance.
UTFet47 sounds artificially open with no low end weight, sounds cheap.

Please take this as a huge compliment, you remind me of Stevie Wonder singing. Love my TLM 49!😊

If possible could you get your hands on a Upton 251 vs Flea 251 shoutout 😩
I’ll definitely get to work on that!

Neumann 49 „Schmatz“ / smooth smooch smacker.. no eq
Just Wow
Fet47 sssscharkszzz
Haha thanks for commenting and watching the video.
I’m a fan of both mics but I’m partial to the TLM49

It’s not

the U47 has more punch and presence... the tlm49 is smoother. At the end both mics are great but the U47 won at my opinion. thanks for your work.
