| I recently got a new U87 and a Peluso 2247LE. I must say, in the recent sessions, I tried both on various sources (guitar amp, sax, trumpet and voice), and in almost all cases the Peluso was prefered, by me and by the artist, over the 87. But the 87 never sounded bad of course, it's just that the Peluso gave a more pleasant sound.
On a female voice, it was really close. In isolation, the Peluso was more pleasing, but in the context of the mix, it wasn't that clear cut.
Most of the time, both mic were plugged into a Portico preamp.
Just wanted to share this experience, as I read in a previous post someone's remark about not even wanting to try Peluso stuff.
Cheers |
