Over Half a Century of Classic Sound, an Irreplaceable Industry Benchmark
Since its introduction in 1967, the Neumann U 87 quickly became the gold standard for top recording studios worldwide. It is not just a microphone; it is synonymous with the warm, clear, and detailed sound behind countless platinum records and classic soundtracks. Whether for delicate vocals, rich instrument textures, or grand orchestras, the U 87 has always been the first choice for professional recording engineers. This U 87 Ai version inherits the classic sound of its legendary predecessor and, through modern electronic circuit design, offers higher sensitivity, lower self-noise, and a greater dynamic range, ensuring the highest quality for every recording.
This product is currently the most renowned and widely used studio microphone in the professional market. Its smooth, precise frequency response and three switchable polar patterns make it an extremely flexible, all-purpose condenser microphone, perfectly suited for various challenges, from lead vocal recording to instrument miking. For music producers, recording engineers, and content creators who pursue ultimate sound quality, investing in a Neumann U 87 Ai is investing in a timeless classic sound.
