Thank you Sir. I'll audition the TLM 193 as well. Any other Neuman mics you may recommend for a female narrator. The u87 is a bit over budget right now.
Regarding the 193 vs 49. Sensitivity of 18mV/pa (193)vs 13mV/pa (49). Would the "less sensitive" mic pick up less room noise? Or is the difference of 5 mV/pa unintelligible? Thanks.
