Description

The U87 is probably the best-known and most widely used Neumann studio microphone in the world. It features a large-diaphragm, dual-diaphragm capsule with three polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, selectable via a switch located under the grille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the back of the microphone, allowing it to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB SPL without distortion. You can also attenuate the low-frequency response to compensate for proximity effects. The U87 Ai condenser microphone is a large-diaphragm model with three different polar patterns and unique characteristics in terms of frequency response and transient response. Users immediately recognize this microphone thanks to its distinctive look. It is a good choice for most common applications in studio, broadcast, film, and television
