This condenser microphone is used in studios worldwide as the most reliable recording microphone. It boasts a rich, high-quality finish, precisely crafted dual large diaphragms, and the natural, smooth sound that has been loved by engineers for years. It expressively conveys the presence of the material to the listener. Equipped with a 3-directional pattern switch, it delivers its full sound performance regardless of the application—vocals, instruments, or sound capture. With its rich, high-quality finish, precisely crafted dual large diaphragms, and 3-directional pattern switch, it delivers its full sound performance regardless of the application—vocals, instruments, or sound capture.
Technically speaking, the U 87 Ai is a timeless design that has remained unchanged for decades. It employs the same dual-diaphragm capacitor capsule design as its predecessor, the legendary U 67 from the early 1960s. While the head amplifier is also based on the same design principles as its tube-driven predecessors, the U 87 Ai achieves maximum signal integrity and high common-mode rejection through a unique FET circuit and transformer-balanced output that minimizes the signal path.
The result is a studio microphone with unparalleled clarity. Its natural sound and distinctive midrange presence make the U 87 Ai the ultimate vocal microphone, acclaimed by singers and engineers alike, and an ideal choice for speech applications such as voiceovers, overdubs, and audiobooks. With a balanced response across its three polar patterns, the U 87 Ai is also a highly versatile microphone suitable for a wide range of applications, from acoustic guitars to drum overheads. Its solid bass response and excellent midrange detail make it a popular choice in front of bass and guitar cabinets. In classical music recordings, it is often used as a spot microphone for soloists such as cellists. The U 87 Ai stereo pair is the choice of many engineers for piano recordings across almost every genre, from pop and jazz to classical.
