This was really helpful. While I've done my professional demos on a Neumann U87 and TLM 49 I own the Sennheiser MK4 for my home studio. Your video has strengthened my confidence that I did just fine with the MK4. I'd certainly love to have a Neumann but this video tells me that I don't actually need one! Thanks!

Awesome! Yeah, love Neumanns but I like the MK4 because it's a bit less dark for my voice and EQing to taste is easy with this one. I have another Mic shootout on my channel and will probably post a third one this week. Subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks for watching!

I've used the MK4 for years with a DBX286 & MOTU M2 and I call the mic a TLM101

That’s pretty accurate model number for it!

I appreciate the blind shoot-out. If we were picking just straight raw audio, I'd go with Mic A as that is closer to how I like my voice-overs to sound. Comparing the two side by side, I think Mic B is too heavy in the low mids. All that all being said, my hunch is that once you clean up the low end of Mic B you'll end up with a much better sound than Mic A. To my ear, Mic B has a smoother, more open top end. It's just being overshadowed by those low mids.

Yes! Thanks for commenting.

Ok considering the price difference you mentioned, it's pretty impressive that one costs less than half than the other. They both sound nice and I think A sounds like crispier and B sounds warmer, but I have to recognize that if I'm not looking at the screen watching the letters switch it'ss even harder to tell the difference as that crisp sounds is only noticeable with certain sounds. If I have to make a veredict as a personal choice I'd pick B. Thanks for sharing this video and I hope you reveal which one is which soon, have great day.

Hi brother!!! Hey, what do you think of the SE2200Se electronics compared to the MK4? I just want to find the best microphone under $350 to record singing mainly!and my options narrowed down to these 2. I hope you can help me with your opinion brother!! Amazing voice!!!

Hey Bro. I really like that mic, I used to own it.After I purchased the TLM 102, I sold it to make up some of the money. I like the MK4 and would put the Se in the same level, but ultimately find the one the suits you voice and application, singing or VO. Hope that helps.

Mic B seems to have a slight bump in the mids giving it a little more body compared to mic A. At what bitrate did you upload this? It might be more apparent if the audio quality was set to highest on KZread.

Agreeing with both Gabby and iRockMusic -- B sounds warmer and IMHO, better. Really curious which is which. I suspect B is the 102 (I have a 103)

It depends on your room. Is the room treated for sound reflections and to block outside noise? You might want to try a dynamic mic instead.
