The Neumann U87 AI + EA87 Special Bundle includes the legendary U87 AI Microphone and dedicated EA87 Shockmount. The world's most widely used large diaphragm condenser studio microphone can now be yours at this amazing price.
The Neumann U87 AI + EA87 is a special priced bundle of the legendary Neumann U87 AI and the elastic suspension EA 87. Known for its warm, rich sound and precision engineering, is perhaps the world's most widely used large diaphragm condenser studio microphone. It is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the headgrille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion.
Furthermore, the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect. The U 87 Ai condenser microphone is a large diaphragm microphone with three polar patterns and a unique frequency and transient response characteristic. Users recognize the microphone immediately by its distinctive design. It is a good choice for most general purpose applications in studios, for broadcasting, film and television. The U 87 Ai is used as a main microphone for orchestra recordings, as a spot mic for single instruments, and extensively as a vocal microphone for all types of music and speech.
The main features of the Neumann U87 AI + EA87 include:
- Variable large diaphragm microphone
