Hello all,

I'm going to record some vocals at the Christmas vacation. In that school, whose studio I'm using, there are a couple of Neumann U89s. I've heard before that the U87 is considered as a studio standard when it comes to vocals. But, I would like to hear your opinions about the U89 as a vocal mic. Does it compare to the U87?

My main vocal mic has been Shure SM7b, but now as I have this change to use a Neumann, I suppose I will give it a try.

Cheers!
