M87 - The M87 is a faithful reproduction of the classic vintage version of the Neumann U87
The M87 is a faithful reproduction of the classic vintage version of the Neumann U87. Known for its warm and well-balanced characteristics, the U87 is the perfect choice of vocal mic for all types of music and speech. Its also a great general-purpose microphone. The M87 is equipped with the same style dual diaphragm capsule which is hand made in the USA with a Mylar coating that uses the exact same specs as Neumann. The exact same FET circuit design found in the original is used inside the M87 and it utilizes a specially designed output transformer.
The microphone is equipped with 3 selectable polar patterns, Cardioid, Omni and Figure of eight. There is also a selectable 10db Pad to allow the microphone to handle high sound pressure levels up to 127db and a low frequency attenuation switch to help compensate for the proximity effect. The M87 comes with a shock mount and a hand made oak wooden box to house it in. Each microphone is hand built and calibrated to order, which means there may be a lead time from purchase. Matched Pairs are also available.
