About Neumann U 87 AI

From professional recording studios to live performances, the Neumann U87 Multi-Pattern Pressure Gradient Condenser Microphone is a trusted choice for capturing high-quality audio. This microphone, renowned for its warm and rich sound, is a testament to Neumann's precision engineering. It is widely recognized as a leading large diaphragm condenser studio microphone, making it a valuable addition to any professional audio setup.

The U87 microphone comes equipped with a K 67 capsule, pad, and filter, offering a broad frequency response range of 20Hz to 20kHz. This ensures that every nuance of sound is captured, from the lowest bass notes to the highest treble. With an impedance of 200 Ohms, this microphone guarantees a strong and clear signal.

One of the standout features of the U87 microphone is its three switchable polar patterns. Whether you need omni-directional, cardioid, or figure-eight patterns, this microphone provides the flexibility to adapt to any recording scenario. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for a variety of audio projects, from music recording to podcasting and broadcasting.

The U87 microphone is designed with a non-reflective matte black finish, making it suitable for use in situations where the microphone should remain less conspicuous. This subtle design ensures that the focus remains on the performance, not the equipment.

To handle high sound pressure levels, the microphone includes a 10dB pad switch, allowing it to manage levels up to 127dB. This feature ensures that even the loudest sounds are captured without distortion. Additionally, a low cut roll-off switch is included to eliminate hum, rumble, and low-frequency noise, ensuring a clean and clear audio capture.

Despite featuring the original capsule, the U87 AI MT model boasts improved output electronics. This enhancement provides higher sensitivity and an improved signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring that your recordings are as clear and precise as possible. With the Neumann U87 Multi-Pattern Pressure Gradient Condenser Microphone, you can expect professional-grade audio capture in every session.
