Description

The Neumann U 87 Ai is a microphone that has had a significant impact on the music industry and continues to be a vital tool in creating hit records. DJs worldwide rely on the U 87 Ai to deliver these hits to their listeners. It is considered a must-have for any professional recording studio.

The U 87 Ai is the epitome of a large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Its distinctive conical shape and iconic grille design are synonymous with studio microphones. Its sound quality sets a high standard for excellence and is often used as a benchmark for judging other microphones.

What sets the U 87 Ai apart is its unique combination of neutrality and character. While its frequency response is flat, it possesses a certain charm that makes it stand out. It simply sounds right! This versatility and instant recognizability make it an excellent choice for any recording application.

The U 87 Ai showcases classic Neumann engineering. Its design has remained timeless and unchanged for decades. It uses the same dual-diaphragm condenser capsule as its predecessor, the renowned U 67, from the early 1960s. Additionally, its head amplifier follows the same principles as its tube-driven predecessor. However, the U 87 Ai features a unique field-effect transistor circuitry, ensuring optimal signal integrity and high rejection of common mode interference.

The result is a studio microphone that boasts unmatched clarity. Its natural sound and prominent mid-range presence make it an ideal choice for vocal recordings, earning praise from singers and engineers alike. It is also the go-to microphone for speech applications such as voice-overs, dubbing, and audiobooks. With its balanced response in all three polar patterns, the U 87 Ai shines in various tasks, from capturing the acoustic guitar to recording drums. Its tight bass response and excellent mid-range reproduction also make it popular for capturing bass and guitar cabinets. Classical recordings benefit from the U 87 Ai as well, especially for individual instruments like the cello.

Features:

  • Large dual-diaphragm capsule with pressure gradient transducer
  • Three switchable polar patterns: omnidirectional, figure-8 (bidirectional), cardioid
  • Classic studio microphone design
  • Attenuation pad and low-cut filter toggle switches for added versatility
  • Ideal as a main and support microphone for all recording requirements

Microphone polar pattern

Omnidirectional, cardioid and supercardioid. It determines the sensitivity of the microphone to sound relative to the direction or angle, i.e. shows how well the microphone "hears" sound from different sides

Glossary of terms
cardioid

The polar pattern of the microphone that picks up the sound in front of it.
