This condenser microphone is used in studios around the world as the most trusted recording microphone. Its textured, meticulously crafted dual large diaphragms, and 3-way switching ensure that it delivers impeccable sound performance for any application, whether it's vocals, instruments, or sound collection. Its textured, meticulously crafted dual large diaphragms, and 3-way switching ensure that it delivers impeccable sound performance for any application, whether it's vocals, instruments, or sound collection.

Technically speaking, the U 87 Ai is a classic design that has remained unchanged for decades. The U 87 Ai uses the same dual-diaphragm condenser capsule design as its predecessor, the legendary U 67 from the early 1960s. The head amplifier is also based on the same design principles as its tube-driven predecessor, but the U 87 Ai uses a unique FET circuit with a minimal signal path and a transformer-balanced output for maximum signal integrity and high common-mode rejection.

The result is a studio microphone with unparalleled clarity. Its natural sound and distinctive mid-range presence make the U 87 Ai the ultimate vocal microphone, earning rave reviews from singers and engineers alike. It's also the perfect choice for speech applications like voice-overs, dubbing, and audiobooks. A balanced response in each of its three polar patterns makes the U 87 Ai a versatile microphone for everything from acoustic guitar to drum overheads. Its solid bass response and excellent mid-range detail make it a popular choice in front of bass or guitar cabinets. In classical music recordings, it's often used as a spot mic for soloists like cello. A stereo pair of U 87 Ai is also the choice of many engineers for piano recordings in nearly every genre, from pop and jazz to classical.
