The Neumann U87 AI Studio Set includes the Neumann U87 AI Nickel Microphone with EA87 shockmount – in Nickel.
The iconic Neumann U87, celebrated for its exceptional warmth, rich tonal qualities, and uncompromising precision, is the world's foremost choice for large diaphragm condenser studio microphones. This remarkable microphone features a generous dual-diaphragm capsule offering three distinct directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, all seamlessly selectable via a conveniently located switch beneath the head grille.
A valuable addition to this microphone's arsenal is the 10 dB attenuation switch situated on its rear. This feature empowers the microphone to gracefully capture sound pressure levels of up to 127 dB without introducing any distortion. Additionally, users can effortlessly dial down the low-frequency response to mitigate the proximity effect.
