It means you are singing through a FET 47

Re: What does one mean when they say a mic is dark
I was comparing a Neuman M49 to a Neuman M147. I thought both were good mics..pretty similar but the M49 came out sounding a little more magical. But I went on the DUC to find out some info on the M147 and everyone was dissing it saying it was dark and how they preferred a M149 to it. On my voice I thought it sounded pretty good.
Anyways at the time I thought dark could be used in a bad and good way. Dark meaning it was boosted in the lows but not in the highs. OR bad in that it is a dull mic. Actually I tried out a Neuman original U47 and that sounded dull...even though I thought it was gonna be such a nice mic. |

The characteristic of a mic also depends on what mic-pre you're using with it.

No, a FET47. That's a different mic.
And saying you tried a U47 and it sounded bad is not surprising. They are all different because of their age and condition and no two sound alike. Many of them out there are average mics, the few that are in good shape are indeed magical. |
