Description

The U 87 presents a wide range of features and versatility that make it to one of the most desirable mics available. Our users are recognizing the microphone immediately by its distinctive design. Well-known for its warm and well balanced characteristics - your perfect choice as vocal microphone for all types of music and speech. The usage as main microphone for orchestra recordings or as spot mic for single instruments make it the most general- purpose microphone - in studios, for broadcasting, film and television. The U 87 is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the headgrille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.

  • If this microphone makes your voice sound better, you're clearly mistaken
You're kidding me for a microphone right!!!!? My voice rocks on a 3 pack mic set that costs $50 bucks. It's Ludacris...not the rapper...to me that a microphone could cost this much. If this microphone makes your voice sound better, you're clearly mistaken! Consider musical talents that don't include vocals...just saying. ... show more

  • Brilliant
Ive had the nickel u87 ai for less than a year and I will never regret my purchase. Although on my behalf i started to notice how nice the BLACK u87 looks, so I bought it too lol. Next up Sony C800G.

  • Amazing microphone (bought it at Sweetwater instead of here)
my voice didn’t rock on a 3 pack mic set that costs $50 bucks

  • One of the world’s most incredible recording instruments
I’ve used many different microphones over more than forty years in professional recording studios. This is my favorite for vocals. It captures a clean, crystal-clear sound; crisp, warm and airy, like no other, if you know how to use it. If you don’t know how to use microphones, how to find their sweet spot, or can’t hear it, don’t spend more than 50 bucks on a mic and just scream into it. If you haven’t fried your ears, or brain, if you can hear the difference between mp3 and wave, then this is worth every penny. ... show more

  • Extremely Versatile Microphone
I've had my U87 for 10 years now and it's like my favorite pair of jeans. I am a songwriter so when I have an idea I need to flesh out quickly, the U87 comes in very handy. Sure, I could accomplish this with much less expensive TLM 103 (which I used to own) or any other large-diaphragm mic but the overall sound and versatility of this mic make it well worth the money. I also use it as an ambient mic on drums. It positively rocks on female vocals and a beautiful, and so easy to use for acoustic guitar. I will die owning this mic if the Lord wills! ... show more
