This is a stereo set of Neumann U 87 Ai large-diaphragm condenser microphones, one of the most frequently used studio microphones the world over. Its smooth and refined sound is as iconic as its elegant exterior design. As a standard microphone for speech and vocals, the U 87 Ai features three polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8), plus pad and low-cut options, to make it adaptable to a wide range of applications. The U 87 Ai is the epitome of a large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Its tapered body and iconic head grille design have become a standard for contemporary microphone design.
