Product Description

Here's what Neumann say about the U87:

The Neumann U87 is the large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Used on countless famous recordings for vocals, drums, guitars - anything you can think of in fact - the Neumann U87 is one of those mics that is simply ubiquitous.

Thanks to its huge, detailed, clear sound that blends seamlessly into almost any mix, the U87 is a stand out microphone that will be the go-to mic in your arsenal for life!

Applications

The U87 condenser microphone is a large diaphragm microphone with three polar patterns and a unique frequency and transient response characteristic. Users recognise the microphone immediately by its distinctive design. It is a good choice for most general purpose applications in studios, for broadcasting, film and television.

The U87 is used as a main microphone for orchestra recordings, as a spot mic for single instruments, and extensively as a vocal microphone for all types of music and speech.

Acoustic features

The U87 is addressed from the front, marked with the Neumann logo. The frequency response of the cardioid and figure-8 directional characteristics are very flat for frontal sound incidence, even in the upper frequency range. The microphone can be used very close to a sound source without the sound becoming unnaturally harsh. By means of a high-pass filter interferences through subsonic and low frequencies are reduced remarkably.

Polar patterns

The dual-diaphragm capsule is elastically mounted and protected by a large headgrille. A switch below the headgrille selects the three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. A window above this switch shows the symbol of the selected characteristic.
