Need to see which is best for what.

TV commercial - High energy national https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ZtXJbxZec

TV commercial - Close mic sponsor bumper national https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkRgbnFb1Ws

Promotional ad agency, international - https://vimeo.com/127906849

Show opener TV international - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifBjsojXw9I

Warm and fluffy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WooZOo3FX3g

Piece to camera/radio imagininining - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvyHQGUyGko

TV promo National US - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDFxKBXwSdw

Corporate and F***ing dull! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2440tkFAt8

So. In the above, in order I used a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, a Neumann U87, and finally a Neumann U87.

Which is best for what or should I add another mic to mic closet like a Neumann U87?

GTI, made in 1987 by VW so I suspect claims to the quality were exaggerated in order to dupe the unsuspecting American consumer.

When it is being tested, it recognizes as such and performs as a high-end condenser mic, when in normal circumstances it's actually a Twinkie.

I prefer the St. John Neumann --

It hears your confessions in at least seven languages.
