Studio microphone Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Set (Nickel) complete with accessories

The Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Set (Nickel) is a true legend in the world of recording. For over 50 years, it has defined the sound of countless hits and has become the gold standard among studio microphones. Its recognizable design with a tapered body and classic grille has long been a symbol of professional studio equipment.

The U 87 Ai features a large dual-diaphragm capsule providing three main polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8. Pattern selection is made using a convenient selector located under the protective grille. With its balanced frequency response and natural midrange, the microphone is perfect for recording vocals, speech, instruments, as well as studio dubbing and voice-over work.

The microphone includes a built-in 10 dB attenuator, allowing it to handle high sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion, and a low-cut filter switch to compensate for proximity effect and reduce low-frequency interference. This combination makes the U 87 Ai extremely versatile and convenient to use in both large studios and home environments.

Thanks to its impeccable acoustic design and elastic capsule mounting under the metal grille, the microphone delivers exceptional sound accuracy, clear midrange, and a controlled low-frequency response. The Studio Set includes essential accessories such as the EA 87 suspension mount, windscreen, and protective case, providing maximum comfort and safety when using the microphone.

The Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Set (Nickel) is ideal for a wide range of applications: from vocals and instruments to classical music, where it is often used as a spot microphone for string instruments, piano, and brass. It also works effectively as an overhead for drums, delivering clear and natural sound in any musical context.
