The U 87 Ai shockmount set Z microphone with box is the latest incarnation of an audio icon. First introduced in 1967, the U 87 microphone gained instant acclaim for its pristine sonic quality, versatility, and roadworthiness—and it has since become standard equipment in professional recording studios worldwide. The U 87 Ai is a microphone that combines vintage character with modern performance.
Three Selectable Polar Patterns for Ultimate Flexibility
With the flip of a switch, the U 87 Ai can be set to omnidirectional, cardioid or figure-8 polar patterns. This allows the mic to capture sound from all directions, focus on the front, or pick up from both front and rear—ideal for any recording application from orchestras and choirs to vocals, drums and guitar amps. And no matter the polar pattern selected, the U 87 Ai delivers the beautifully balanced, natural sound that has made the U 87 a legend.
Attenuation and Low-Cut Switches Provide Precise Control
For situations that require a bit of attenuation to prevent overloading, the U 87 Ai includes a 10dB pad that can handle sound pressure levels up to 127dB. Engage these switches as needed to precisely tailor the U 87 Ai's output level and frequency response for any source.
Rugged Build Quality You Can Depend On
Like all Neumann microphones, the U 87 Ai is handcrafted in Germany to the highest standards. Its double-mesh headgrille, durable metal housing, and internal shockmount provide excellent protection. And with proper care, the U 87 Ai will deliver pristine audio quality for decades—just like its legendary predecessor. For professional recording engineers and home studio owners alike, the Neumann U 87 Ai is an investment in excellence that will pay off for years to come.
