The Neumann U 87 Ai is the gold standard of microphones in modern audio recording. For over 50 years, the U 87 Ai has been used in recording studios all over the world to capture award-winning performances. Adored for its smooth, refined sound, this classic large diaphragm condenser mic will instantly bring any instrument to life.
Introduced in 1967, Neumann’s U 87 has shaped the sound of hundreds of hit records over the last 50 years. To this day, no professional recording studio is complete without a Neumann U 87 Ai. The U 87 Ai is the quintessential large diaphragm condenser microphone. The iconic design and musical sonic character have become the gold standard by which other microphones are measured.
Featuring a balanced frequency response with a unique midrange presence, the U 87 Ai offers a unique, yet instantly recognizable tone. Equipped with selectable omni, cardioid, and figure-8 polar patterns, the U 87 Ai is a versatile studio workhorse that will shine in any situation: from acoustic guitar to drum overheads.
The U 87 was originally created as a solid state version of the legendary U 67 tube condenser microphone from the 1960s. U 87 Ai combines the same K67 dual diaphragm condenser capsule as its tube-based predecessor with innovative FET 80 technology to deliver unparalleled clarity.
The built-in switchable low cut filter makes it easy to combat low frequency build up caused by the proximity effect. The on-board pad and remarkably low self-noise mean you can record even louder performances without any unwanted distortion.
Due to its solid bass response and excellent midrange detail, the U 87 Ai sounds great on bass and guitar cabinets, while the extended top-end makes it he ultimate vocal microphone. Perfect for any genre from pop and jazz to classical music, the U 87 Ai is the world’s most famous studio microphone for a reason.
My studio is located in the Dominican Republic so as you can imagine getting good quality gear here is challenging. When I built Paradise Studio i knew that to even be considered a choice for top artists we needed gold standard gear. There is nothing I can say about the Neumann U 87 Ai that hasnt already been said. It is a staple of a studio and I am not even exaggerating, just days after it arrived in the studio 2 major clients contacted us and specifically requested a U87 for their projects. The universe is working and the Neumann U 87 Ai is magic. Paradise Studio Cabarete, Dominican Republic www.projectparadisedr.com
