Used Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Condenser Microphone

Description

The Neumann U 87 Ai is one of the most recognized and widely used professional studio microphones in the recording industry. Known for its detailed, balanced sound and exceptional versatility, the U 87 Ai is a true studio workhorse capable of handling everything from intimate vocal recordings to full-scale instrument and ensemble sessions.

This large-diaphragm condenser microphone offers three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8, allowing it to adapt to a wide variety of recording situations. Cardioid is ideal for focused vocals and instruments, omnidirectional works well for capturing rooms and ensembles, and figure-8 is useful for dual-source recording, Mid-Side techniques, and other advanced studio applications.

In a studio environment, the U 87 Ai is an outstanding choice for lead vocals, voice-over, acoustic guitar, piano, strings, guitar cabinets, drum overheads, room microphones, brass, percussion, and orchestral recording. Its smooth frequency response helps capture detail and presence while maintaining a polished, natural character that works exceptionally well in a mix.

A switchable low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble and proximity effect, while the -10 dB pad allows the microphone to handle louder sound sources. These features make the U 87 Ai equally useful on delicate acoustic performances and higher-volume instruments.

For professional studios, project studios, broadcasters, voice-over artists, or anyone looking for a proven high-end recording microphone, the Neumann U 87 Ai remains an exceptional and highly versatile choice.
