MYN - 8412: Neumann KM84 Clone Adapted for Large Diaphragm Capsule

Summary: What'd ya think? Silky smooth with a rich body, right? The highs are sweetly rolled off and the lows are so smoothly bold. Mmmm-mmmm. I don't sing at all (obviously), so if this mic can make me sound good, imagine what this baby could do with someone who has real pipes! Meet the MYN-8412. This Mic features a clone of a vintage Neumann KM84 circuit adapted for LDC capsules. What's really cool is that this circuit is extremely close to the U87 circuit, but without the corrective EQ section created for 87-style capsules. When you use this circuit with a capsule like the installed RK-12, you get, well... you get a big, big sound. Run that circuit through a Cinemag transformer and you get a warm, buttery tone guaranteed to give you a serious case of the feels. Along with the circuit similarities to a vintage U87, the MYN-8412 also has the same sensitivity, approx (8 mV/Pa). I also modded it so that the low end goes deep. This mic punches way, way above its price point. It is built with premium parts: WIMA and Kemet caps, Dale resistors and, the Cinemag 5722, a.k.a., the heart and soul of tone.
