Anybody know if there exists a serial number chart for vintage Neumann mics? Download aircrack ng for windows 10. Like the ones available for old grand pianos where you can look up the serial number and get to know the year it´s manufactured in. Just out of curiosity (no big deal if I never know) I´d like to know what year my vintage Neumann is made. NEUMANN U47 Vintage Tube Microphone U-47 #2617.

It’s in full working order and has that smooth, warm and silky sound typical for a vintage Neumann U87, though there is some cosmetic wear and tear. Anyone have a Neumann TLM 103. If this is your first. Join Date Sep 2001 Posts 198 Thanks 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I have one of the first TLM-103 that came into the US (a very low 3 digit serial number), and that's the mic I use to judge all other mics, even other Neumanns. On the first rec.audio.pro.
The trouble is that it is NOT an early one. It's a TLM 170R, which was a later upgrade. The original TLM 170 had the patterns switchable on the mic. The 'R' version came later and if switched to 'R' enabled remote switching of the polar-patterns. Unless it had a shell swap with an early mic. due to damage. Anyway - it should have a serial number and all the OP has to do is to follow the link I gave above and Neumann will be able to tell the manufacturing date and who it originally went to (IE: country, not first user).
Neumann Serial Number Date
As I said, ask Neumann.
I was around when the 170R first came out and I don't remember a purple badged 'R' version. The first TLM 170s were not remote-switchable and I can certainly believe they had a purple badge - it's the 'R' version that is causing me to question. So - as I said - get on to Neumann with the serial number and they will be able to confirm if it's an original or a badge-swap.
