I really like this mic a lot

I really like this mic a lot. Very 67 and the NOS Telefunken tube really shines warmly. 3D sound and mid-forward in all the right ways. Perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments which is my focus. The highs shimmer and are never harsh. I really appreciate you making this type of quality legacy microphone at such a reasonable price. If you ever make a 47 tube, I’d probably bite. Thanks. Jeff

Love the DA67 tube mic

Love the DA67 tube mic. Just don’t like that it took nearly 3 months to get it and communication was basically one sided. I would have appreciated something from Dachman once in a while

Reply from Dachman Audio

Kenneth, glad you are enjoying the DA 67. I'm sorry if you feel like communication was lacking, but unsure where the disconnect was.

At the time you placed your order, the lead time listed on the product page was approximately 8 weeks. You ordered on November 17th. Your order shipped out on January 13 (almost exactly 8 weeks to the day). From my perspective, we met the expectation we set that the lead time was approximately 8 weeks. I'm not sure what more we could do... we listed the lead time on the website clearly and when you wrote in asking for an update we replied.

Regardless, I do thank you for your candid review and I do hope you'll enjoy the DA 67 for many years to come.

Best regards,
Josh

The Dachman DA87i is the real deal!- Superb customer service!

I first found out about the Dachman DA87i through a YouTube video review where it was put through it’s paces, and I was immediately impressed! I looked at many other mics and listened to many audio samples over the last year or so, and the Dachman was always at the top of my mind especially for the price, it just has that special ‘something’

So I decided to pull the trigger and it was shipped in 3 working days to Melbourne Australia!, that is insanely fast!

A BIG thanks to Josh for his incredible customer service in addressing a problem I had, the mic had minor superficial damage but works perfectly; still looks good and sounds great!. We contacted Dachman and Josh responded offering me a few options, one of which was he would send me a DA87se for free and I could still keep the DA87i as well!, an offer I couldn't say no to! - what an amazingly generous gesture from Josh to make things right!

NOTE: I recently received the DA87se in Vintage cream which looks and sounds fantastic!

Now, I can’t compare an original U87i to the DA87i as I have never used one, but based on it’s own merits and for my voice-over use case from my well treated home made booth - it’s brilliant!. It has that mid-forward push, well represented lows but not exaggerated and controlled smooth highs that tame sibilance, a well balanced warm clear and full bodied sound with a splash of saturation absolutely perfect for voice over applications and sounds close to finished right out of the gate with minimal eq needed, although it does handle eq very well – one of the marks of a high quality microphone.

If you’re in the market for a mic in this price range, this simply has to be a serious consideration, the value definitely favors the buyer and with Josh taking care of you, there’s honestly nothing to lose!

The mic is Amazing!

The mic is Amazing!! and so are the people there. They have always responded timely and pleasantly. When I needed a shockmount, they communicated when it would be available again and when I wanted to order my second 87 because of my delight from the first, they hooked me up with another credit towards it. Quality people and a quality product. I can't speak for the comparison because I only have a little experience with the Neumann but the sound is amazing on my recordings with this mic and very little tweaking needed for it to sound PRO.

Everything Perfect

Shipping from USA to Europe was no problem, all Taxes are directly paid at the check out and thats it. Shipping took around one week.

And i love the mic (DA87), it‘s amazing. I’m looking forward to get a DA67 next year 😊
Thanks Dachman Audio!

I made a text with warm 47

I made a text with warm 47, Dachman 47 and an original Neumann 47 fet and it was of course different colors but not that extreme. Dachman won by a modest margin compare to the others. Dachman has that sweet mid range and low boost. Warm has the most output and Newman has the sibilance and overall body. I love Dachman for the price and in general warmest sound.
