Axel Reinemer talks about his experiences with the U87 Ai:

A studio standard found in all the world’s top studios

The Neumann U87 Ai Studio Set mt is the perfect vocal microphone for all types of microphone recordings in music and speech productions. Furthermore, the U87 is also used as the main microphone for orchestral recordings or as a support microphone for individual instruments, making it the studio standard in the repertoire of radio, film and television productions. Particularly noteworthy are the consistently clear and assertive sound reproduction characteristics of the Neumann microphone, with a beautifully defined mid-range. Despite its almost linear sound response, the U87 Ai does not behave as neutrally as a small-diaphragm microphone, but offers vocalists in particular the typical comfortable performance characteristics of a large-diaphragm condenser microphone.

Classic applications include: voice-overs in dubbing studios, room miking, guitar amplifiers (in combination with the Shure SM57 or Sennheiser MD421), and aggressive, assertive vocals (rap, hard rock).

Flexible recording options for vocals and acoustic instruments

The U87 Ai Studio Set mt is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule and offers a choice of three polar patterns – omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8 – which can be selected via a switch on the capsule head. The microphone can therefore be used flexibel. It is legendary as a studio microphone for vocal recordings, but is of course also excellent for recording acoustic instruments. A switch on the rear panel provides a 10 dB pad. This allows the microphone to handle sound pressure levels of up to 127 dB SPL without distortion. Furthermore, the frequency response can be rolled off in the low frequencies, um z.B. to compensate for the proximity effect.

Frequency response and sound characteristics of the U87 Ai

The U87 Ai’s Einsprechrichtung is lateral, with the front identified by the company logo. The frequency response is practically linear for the Niere and figure-8 polar patterns, even in the upper frequency range for sound incident from the front. This means the microphone can be used particularly effectively at close range from sound sources without producing an unnaturally sharp sound. To counteract unwanted noise, a high-pass filter cuts out particularly low frequencies.

Buy U87 Ai accessories individually or as a complete ‘ Studio ’ set

The U87 Ai is available in two standard finishes, nickel and black, with the basic version supplied without a shock mount. Many customers therefore choose to buy the U87 Ai straight away as a complete ‘ Studio ’ set. This is because it ensures vibration-free mounting on the microphone.

Also available as a bundle from us
