The
Neumann U 87 Ai is maybe the most well-known and widely used studio microphone
in the world. Its exquisite external design is as well known for its smooth and
refined sound as it is for its smooth and refined sound. The U 87 Ai is the
industry standard for speech and singing. Its three polar patterns, as well as
pad and low-cut choices, allow it to be used in a variety of applications.
The
Neumann U 87 Ai is a magnificent work of art. It was introduced in 1967 and has
influenced the sound of innumerable successful recordings over the last 50
years. When those tunes were revealed on the radio, many a DJ sat down in front
of a U 87 AI. The U 87 Ai is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone at its
finest. Its tapering form and classic appearance have become part of popular
culture” this is how a studio microphone appears. The same can be said for its
sound; the U 87 Ai embodies studio quality and has become the gold standard
against which other microphones are judged. The U 87 Ai is distinguished by its
unique blend of linearity and personality. Although the U 87 Ai's on-axis
frequency response is very flat, it does have a certain personality that makes
it both adaptable and readily recognized.
The Neumann U 87 Ai Set is made of 100%
Authentic German technology. Technically, the U 87 Ai is a conventional design
with a timeless formula that hasn't altered in decades. The U 87 Ai employs the
same dual-diaphragm condenser capsule architecture as its forefather, the
renowned U 67 of the early 1960s. Its head amplifier, like its tube-driven
predecessor, is founded on the same design ideas, but the U 87 Ai executes them
with a FET circuit with a minimum signal path and a transformer-balanced
output, assuring maximum signal integrity and good common-mode rejection.
As a consequence, the studio microphone has unrivaled clarity. The U 87 Ai's natural sound and middle presence make it the perfect vocal microphone, lauded by singers and engineers alike, as well as the top option for speech applications including voice-over, dubbing, and audiobooks. The U 87 Ai is a flexible microphone for everything from acoustic guitar to drum overheads due to its balanced response in each of its three directional patterns. It is frequently found in front of the bass and guitar cabinets because of its robust bass response and good midrange detail. The U 87 Ai is widely used as a spot mic for soloists, such as cello, in classical recordings. Many engineers favor a stereo pair of U 87 Ai microphones for recording piano in practically any genre, from pop and jazz to classical.
