dunno, I never liked the B-ULS, but I used a TL-II for some years as my main vocal mike, but it never made it into the mix without heavy EQing, especially when the singing style was soft stuff. to me it is a combination of too much proximity effect and too soft highs. I always preferred the frequency balance of mics like manley ref cardioid, rode classic or blue B6 for this type of singing, needs WAY less eqing. the TLII works on "screamers" and when used not as close up as let´s say a U87 - which I believe has too soft highs for vocals as well, but the proximity effect is not as strong as with the 414 series. At least the TLII has more "life" in the mids than the ULS, which I really found unusable on most vocals. sold my pair of TLIIs some years ago...it is really not a must have vocal mic for my taste. A 451 or C60 or C28 with CK1 capsules (and at least 2 popper stoppers upfront) sounds much more useable, though it looks kinda gay, haha, maybe Bush will ban it "I believe vocal recording is between a man and a large diaphragm condenser, and I think we ought to codify that one way or another!"
Rock on!
