Thanks to Teddy I'm looking forward to putting my Swedish, "built by hand" Pearl ELM-C mics and new sd722 into action in the near future...

According to Thomas, Milab's chief engineer says they rival dpa's.

No offense, but that is a pretty predictable answer. No one would really say that their own mics sound bad. ;D I know one thing...My Pearl Mics are amazing.

The Wilco "Milab VM-44 Link" show sounds great - Congrats!!

these mics sound very nice, but i had a question for those in-the-know.  as i see these are being compared to DPA and the "DPA sound", are the Milab more forgiving than DPA's can be?  i.e. i've read many times that DPA's sound fantastic in a good room but can sound not-so-good in a bad room.  I wasn't sure if Milab had as flat a response as DPA's do?

The Milab recordings I've heard so far actually sound a tad colored to my ears, but in a good way.  I was just wondering what the overall consensus was on these.  At times they sound DPA'ish to me, other times not so.

thanks y'all!

On the other hand it isn´t too expensive to get a ps-2 and build the little driver pcb (52 by 12mm) into the box and put mini xlr on it instead to get less bulk.

little driver pcb (52 by 12mm)?

What is this?

I think he means removing the pcb board from the mic body and installing that into a suitable box.

Neither of these two sources sound anything like DPA 402x mics to me. But I don't know that I've heard a source with an RME pre before either. Either way the combination of Milab and RME is fantastic sounding on everything I've played it on. I would call it warm sounding and definitely colored. If it weren't for the PA blowing out on a few songs during that Wilco show, I'd say that may well be one of the best recordings I've heard in years.

Thanks John.  I agree, they don't sound like 402x mics to me either, I guess that's why I asked.  Good point about the RME, I haven't heard many recordings done with this pre either.  Who knows, maybe folks were referring more to the fact that both mics were made in Scandinavia and were similar in style and build quality.  Either way, they kick ass.

i believe the 41 version was brighter than 44.  ;)

Interesting.  Do you know what accounted for the difference?  Change in electronics?  Different capsule?  There's not a ton of information on Milab mics out there, and all I know is from playing with the 41 and one other one (DC-96 or something like that?)


sorry for the delay but i finally got the answer, the 41 had a output transformer and op-amp designed circuitry.

Ahhhhh.  I knew there was a good reason I liked it so much.  Op Amps and transformers.   :coolguy:

I really would like to run some of these sometime, but I am not selling the 4v's to do so. 8) So, back to wishful thinking!

If I were a bettin man, I would bet the Milab VM-44 Link > Milab Pre > 722 would sound REAL nice!!!

What does Milab's Pre go for price wise? And does anyone know what it sounds like or ran one before?

Do you mean the Marenius pre? I wish I hadn't sold mine but I know a new milab owner from here who will be checking it out.

They go for about 750 or 800 new.

 ;D ;D  Thanks Matt -- looking forward to following in your footsteps.  I'll definitely be testing them out with both the V3 and the Marenius.
