Introduced in 1967, the U 87 gained instant favor with engineers, producers, and their clients; by the mid '70s it was a staple in every world-class recording studio. And it still is. Walk into a session, and you'll see 87s everywhere. On piano, vocals, toms, overheads, guitar cabs, brass, strings, congas — you name it. The mic's popularity is easy to understand: it ushered in a new era of audio fidelity and reliability, and with three selectable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8), plus a switchable highpass filter and 10dB pre-attenuation pad, the mic is incredibly versatile, and an ideal choice for a broad range of recording techniques. The Neumann U 87 Ai is the industry-standard large-diaphragm condenser mic.

This is important in a reverberant environment when more reflections arrive at the microphone capsule. The acoustic information is not affected in its tonal quality when recorded by the microphone. This characteristic is achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. The capsule is elastically mounted to avoid any structure borne noise that could interfere with its operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amplifier handles sound pressure levels up to 134 dB without distortion. With a self noise level of 17 dB (A-weighted) the total dynamic range is 117 dB. Maximum sound pressure level is 140 dB when the - 6 dB rotary switch is in the ON position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low frequency roll-off at 80 Hz or 160 Hz can be activated with another rotary switch below the head grille. This filter suppresses low frequency interference, yet maintains an even frequency response for close-up sound sources. A steep high-pass filter in the LIN position prevents the output transformer of the microphone from being overloaded due to undesired subsonic frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll exposed surfaces of the microphone capsule, including the diaphragms, are at ground potential. This makes them highly immune to electrical and atmospheric interference and contamination through microscopic dust particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionAsTitle_18Nt9BkVcYQO2jcxURBPUl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable large diaphragm microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-gradient transducer with double membrane capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmnidirectional, wide-angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8 characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-stage roll-off filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable 6 dB pre-attenuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32465623777359,"sku":"006450","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/products\/49_8c4160ff-882f-4c9e-8cf4-ab65741c72c8.jpg?v=1606479843"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/collections\/neumann-u-series.oembed","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
