Neumann U87 was used extensively in this time period,especially with disco and funk music.[/quote]
Yeah, if you want to spend $3100 on a mic! :w00t:
Thats why I suggested the TL 102/103. Same quality, similar sound.[/quote]
if you think a tlm 102 is the same quality and sounds like a u87 you definitely shouldnt try to start measuring contests(maybe with other hobbyists that dont know any better).btw the op never mentioned a price range,he asked for a mic used on vocals in the 70s.[/quote]
I know dude… But I have known Roben for a year and a half. I really dont think he wants to spend that much money on a microphone. Besides, I understand that they arent the same. But the 102 and the 103 are amazing microphones. All Neumann mics are built with amazing quality. The quality is the same on all of them, thats why they are expensive. Are they the same? No. Of course not. But I would put money on it that you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the three microphones on dry vocals let alone with music behind it.

i pissed through the access to music course about 5 years ago, was a great course and great for meeting people.
just make sure you take full advantage of the studios and keyboard skills lessons.
which level are you going in at roben.
roben most if not all of the tutors at the ATM are musicians and they will probably know someone that would loan you the mic through the tutor. i would take full advantage of those situations if i were you.
Ah wicked, didn’t know anyone who’s been with ATM before, let alone the same course! Glad to hear it’s pretty good. I’m really looking forward to taking full advantage of the studios!
I’m definitely hoping they’ll have the mics i’m looking for, i’m not forking out ££££’s on a mic when i’ll have access to them at the studio, I just needed to know which type of ones to look out for the particular project I had in mind.
I’m going into the Digital Musican Level 3 Jon.
