Neumann

A frontrunner in the pro audio scene for decades, Neumann is a name that can be found in well-equipped recording studios everywhere. Neumann focuses almost exclusively on microphones, delivering gear that's the envy of the competition. If you want to make a good impression on artists who walk into your studio, Neumann microphones are a sure sign that you mean business. Naturally, that first impression will be backed up by outstanding recording quality. Neumann has racked up its fair share of awards for its technical achievements, and the uncompromising performance of Neumann microphones has long made them a favorite of leading musicians. Even the Beatles trusted their recordings to Neumann, followed up by a steady stream of artists that's included Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Bryan Adams and Beyoncé. The right Neumann microphone for you will depend on your needs. For example, if it's a high-end stage mic you're after, the KMS 105 could be for you. Its four-layer acoustic filter does a great job of cutting out unwanted noise, and the clarity is unparalleled for vocals and instruments. For outfitting a studio, Neumann really comes into its own with tons of microphones to choose from. Consider the TLM 49, for instance. This condenser studio mic sounds every bit as amazing as it looks. To complete your studio setup, take a look at Neumann's monitors and accessories. The KH 120 and KH 310 may seem like a limited catalog of monitors at first glance, but that's because they're all you need. Neumann has built these speakers to handle everything you have to throw at them. If you want to make sure you get the best possible performance from a new Neumann mic, pair it with the EA 1 Elastic Suspension mount, or think about choosing kits like the TLM 103 Anniversary mics that come bundled with shockmounts right out of the box. To get professional results from any audio system, having high-end audio equipment is an important factor. With Neumann microphones and monitors, there's no compromise and no regrets: just unbeatable sound quality that you'll have to hear to believe.
