Description
THE GOLD STANDARD The Neumann U 87 Ai is probably the most famous and frequently used studio microphone in the world. Its smooth, sophisticated sound is as iconic as its elegant exterior design. The U 87 Ai is the perfect microphone for speech and singing. Three polar patterns, plus padding and low-cut options, allow for versatile adaptability. OMNIPRESENT YET UNIQUE The Neumann U 87 Ai is a true icon. Introduced in 1967, it has shaped the sound of countless hits for the last 50 years. And as those hits were announced on the radio, many DJs were sitting in front of their very own U 87 Ai. To this day, no professional recording studio should be without the glorious Neumann U 87 Ai. The U 87 Ai is the pinnacle of a large diaphragm condenser microphone. Its tapered body and iconic head grille design are part of the collective opinion: This is what a real studio mic looks like. The same applies to its sound. U 87 Ai is the posterchild for studio quality. It has become the gold standard by which other microphones are compared. What sets the U 87 Ai apart is its unique combination of linearity and character. The on-axis frequency response is incredibly flat, but exudes a certain charisma. This makes the U 87 Ai flexible and instantly identifiable. CLASSIC NEUMANN ENGINEERING Technically, the U 87 Ai is a traditional design, a timeless formula that hasn't changed in decades. The U 87 Ai uses the same dual diaphragm condenser capsule design as its ancestor, the legendary U 67 of the early 1960s. Its head amplifier is also based on the same design concepts as its tube driven predecessor, but the U 87 Ai achieves them through a unique FET circuit with minimal signal path and transformer-balanced output for ultimate signal integrity and high common mode rejection. The result is a studio mic with unparalleled clarity. Praised by singers and engineers alike, its balanced sound and unique mid-range presence, the U 87 Ai is the epitome of vocal microphones, as well as being a perfect choice for narrating, dubbing, audiobooks and other speech applications. With a natural response in each of the three polar patterns, the U 87 Ai is a versatile mic for everything from acoustic guitars to drum overheads. It's often seen in front of bass and guitar cabinets due to its rigid bass response and excellent midrange detail. When recording classical music, the U 87 Ai is often used as a spot microphone for soloists such as the cello. The U 87 Ai stereo pair is preferred by many engineers for recording piano in almost any genre, from pop and jazz to classical music
