I have a Heiserman Type 19 and think it's a fantastic mic. great bass response! I also was in the market for either a 414 or one of those Austrian Audio OC18 but decided to get the Heiserman and am very happy with it.llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Thu May 18, 2023 11:26 am I’m glad you mentioned that. Just to backtrack, this started when I was very close to buying a 414 B ULS but never went through with it, as I was looking for more of a vintage color thing than a modern do everything mic. Then I started looking around, thought about resale value vs maintenance and started to wonder if one of the “cheaper” Neumanns might pay off more down the road as an investment.
I had read about the Heiserman Type 19 as an alternative to the 414 but with a nice 47 capaule and was already reaching out to Vintage King to see about their wait list, since they’ve been hard to get since they’ve come out.
Anyways, I just got the push I need to put my deposit down on one and should have it next month. I have been burned after buying some used condenser mics that failed after a reasonable return period, so I actually feel a little better buying something new. They aren’t sold in matched pairs, so I’m sure I’ll be fine just buying a second one to use with it if I need it later. The only comment I read on them regarding vocals is that the mic is that it was less bright than modern Lewitt and Austrian Audio equivalents, which is about what I need.
Won’t need to worry about another mic for a while, thanks all
The thread is called "talk me out of it", not "comedically justify my gear purchase". These reasons are perfect.biscuitdough wrote: Sun May 21, 2023 7:12 pm[snip]Mason wrote: Fri May 19, 2023 8:37 am I loved my old bandmate's Super Six, he always let me use it for shows (he was the drummer) and crucially always helped tote it.

When you move them into a different building more frequently than once per decade, you mock the laws of man and God, and spit in the eye of the CBS marketing department.
I missed this the first time and am just posting to state that this is excellent work. Chef's kiss.
You could talk that down I bet if you were getting serious. A plate reverb is like a piano or a Hammond: really cool when you want it, but a giant anchor when you're ready to be rid of it.
