Enjoy this EQ profile that allows your sE Electronics sE8 mic to get incredibly close to a genuine vintage Neumann KM84i from 1984. Using precise custom full range microphone test tones and Fab Filter Pro-Q 4’s unparalleled EQ-Match engine, this preset gets closer to the sound of the vintage KM84 than I thought possible.
This emulation was created in 96kHz using a genuine vintage Neumann KM84i (from 1984) and cleanest high-end equipment, such as Sound Devices Mixpre 6 II, Vermouth 2ndborn Cables, and Kali Audio full-range monitors and subwoofer.
Of course, it is impossible to 100% clone the Neumann KM84i due to physical differences and variables, but Pro-Q 4 get’s it very close. I am very impressed how well the sE8 mic has handled this identity change. I couldn’t tell the two apart! Your mileage may vary.
