| Smooth, round, airy R&B vocal mic I'm looking for a good mic for getting smooth, airy vocals for r&b. I already have the SE Icis, and I like it. However, some times it can get "sharp" in the high end. I was able to check out the soundelux u95 in a session the other day, and I really liked the sound. It was more smooth then the icis, but a bit too sibilant some times. I heard they improved this in the soundelux u99... Overall, I liked the soundelux u95, and I'm looking for a similar mic. It has to be really smooth, with a clear, airy high end, that is round and pleasant, and not too sibilant! Any mic suggestion? |

 | sibilance will depend on the singer mostly, but a u95 is one of my favorites for airy vocals (most vocals in fact). try running it through a 1073 if possible.  |

| How does the U95 and U99 compare to mics like the tlm-103 and tlm-49? Which is more smooth and airy? |

| When you say smooth... what do you mean? smooth low end, mids, highs? For airy vocals, nothing beats the Peluso 251. |

Neumann U67, Peluso P12, 22 47 LE, Pearlman TM-1. The 251 wouldn't be a good choice, because the mids are more scooped than the P12, and the low end is lacking a little bit. I think I would grab the P12 first and see how that works out for you... I'm actually helping a very popular mic manufacturer to manufacture a mic that is very much what what you are asking for, but that won't be out for a couple months at least. It's being made with hip hop/R&B vocals in mind, because that's my primary need for a mic... | |
