About Universal Audio Bock 187

Become the audio professional who captures every nuance of sound with the Bock 187 Large-Diaphragm FET Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is a testament to the legacy of the iconic U87, infused with modern enhancements that meet the demands of contemporary recording environments.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each Bock 187 microphone is hand-built in Santa Cruz, California, following the rigorous standards set by the esteemed microphone designer David Bock. The result is a durable and reliable studio tool that stands as a handmade masterpiece in your microphone collection.

The Bock 187 boasts a large diaphragm that excels in capturing a true and detailed representation of sound sources. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures that unwanted background noise is minimized, focusing on the clarity and isolation of the intended audio, whether it be vocals or acoustic instruments.

Experience the versatility of the Bock 187's active low-cut control, which allows you to tailor the microphone's response to suit various recording situations. The unique "fat" mode extends the bass response, offering a boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz, which enriches the dynamic range and presence of your recordings. This feature is particularly beneficial for adding fullness to vocals and warmth to stringed instruments.

Additionally, the microphone is equipped with a -10 dB pad switch, providing the flexibility to handle louder sound sources without distortion. This makes the Bock 187 an adaptable choice for a wide range of studio applications.

The Bock 187 not only honors the classic tone of its legendary predecessor but also surpasses it with a larger transformer and refined circuitry. These enhancements contribute to a sound that is both classic and contemporary, allowing you to capture the essence of vintage microphones with the reliability and flexibility of modern technology.

In summary, the Bock 187 Large-Diaphragm FET Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone is an essential addition to any serious audio professional's mic locker, offering a blend of classic sound and modern innovation that will elevate your recordings to the next level.
