I worked for Brauner development. You can't replace a Neumann, Brauner,

good microphone myself. Regarding to the music and recordings you do,
you don't need a good microphone, but as soon as you'll record more than
just your Rock'n'roll vocals by Shure classic sound you need a good =
expensive microphone. An EQ only can readjust what is existing, but just
is too silent or too loud. You can't readjust response characteristic,
directional characteristic, missing frequencies.

needs to watch, assuming they can listen to english).
I liked the very end, about adding an EQ to a (as far as I understood)
cheap microphone and get the same sound than a more expensive one.
Funny.
(I don't claim expensive mikes are useless, it's all about noise
at this point I guess, for what I understand about this business...)
Anyway, thanks for this link, it was very instructive.
