Lauten Audio Atlantis Review / Test
/Today I review a mic that uses a 1.25" capsule, the Lauten Audio FC387 Atlantis. This mic has a robust bass and low mids section, and 3 voicings that offer quite different top ends from vintage and dark to modern and articulate. It does suffer from resonance so if you're using it in a situation where you may bump it, you will have to be careful. If you are looking for a mic to use in small areas it may also not be the right choice for you because it's a big ol boy.

Microtech Gefell UMT70s Review / Test (vs. NW700, U87 Ai, TLM103)
/Today I review a mic that uses the same capsule as the Neumann U47, the Microtech Gefell UMT70s. This is a multi pattern condenser mic with Omni, Cardioid, and Figure-8 patterns with a High Pass filter and -10dB pad. This mic offers a reserved lowend, forward upper mid range, and a tame and controlled top end. It does suffer from a pretty resonant body, so be careful not to bump it while recording and it also picks up quite a bit of ambient noise.
Paid Promotion Selected because I received Lauten Audio Atlantis & Neat Mic free of charge to review. I was not paid, compensated, or required to include it in this video. I just thought it was interesting to include. Now I have to click that stupid paid promo button. Everything else in this video was paid for out of my own pocket.
