Neumann Microphone

Neumann microphones are widely regarded as the gold standard in professional recording for their ability to reproduce sound with exceptional accuracy and detail. However, this same high sensitivity in the upper frequency range can sometimes make sibilance (“sss”, “shh”) more noticeable - especially when recording vocals. How can you control this issue while preserving brightness and natural tone? Let’s take a closer look.

When it comes to premium condenser microphones, Neumann has long been synonymous with studio recording excellence. However, many engineers wonder: are Neumann microphones also suitable for capturing instruments in live environments, where durability, feedback control, and dynamic handling are more demanding? Let’s explore the technical perspective.

Neumann microphones cost a bit more than most competitors’ offerings, but does that mean they’re expensive? Or is the price justified, because of the high quality a Neumann microphone offers?
