Vintage FET Condenser Microphone Shooutout (Neumann, AKG, Sony)

Here's a shootout of popular FET Condenser Microphones from the 1970's to late 1980's! This video features the Neumann U47 FET, AKG C414EB (W/ Original Brass CK12 Capsule), Neumann U87, Neumann KM86, and Sony C38B. The goal here was to compare FET condensers at the lower end of the price spectrum (the Sony C38B being the most affordable at under $1k), and at the higher end (the C414EB has shot up in value lately due to the sought after Brass CK12 Capsule). Let me know what you think about these microphones and their differences!
