The Neumann U 87 studio microphone is famous for its warm sound and well-balanced characteristics. Equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three selectable directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8, it offers a 6dB improvement in signal-to-noise over its predecessor. A 10dB attenuation switch enables the U 87 to handle sound levels up to 127dB without distortion; and the low-frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect. The preferred studio vocal mic for decades, the Neumann U 87 also makes a great main mic for band or home studio recordings, as well as a spot mic for single instruments. Frequency range: 20Hz to 20kHz; impedance rated at 200 ohms. The shockmount includes a windscreen, cable, EA87 elastic suspension and comes in a wooden jeweler's box.

Requires phantom power.
