Default Re: Avalon 737 and Vocals

I've had good results with the M149. A lot of people use FET mics (like U87 fet) with Tube pre's but the 149 seems to pair pretty well for a tube mic. Plus 2-4 db @10k roll off -2 @ 100-150hz, some other variances but it also depends on the voice. The compression depends on how the singer sings but usually kept light. I've used the M149 with my Neve but prefer the Avalon for vocals, acoustic guitars is a different story though. I'd go with the U87 FET if you are going to rent the mic, you'll save a few bucks and get decent results.
