U 87 Ai Set Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Nickel

The Neumann U 87 Ai is probably the best-known and most frequently used studio microphone the world over. Its smooth and refined sound is as iconic as its elegant exterior design. The U 87 Ai is the standard microphone for speech and vocals. Three polar patterns plus pad and low cut options make it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

* Balanced frequency response in three polar patterns
* Very low self-noise
* Classic sound

Features
* Variable large diaphragm microphone
* Pressure-gradient transducer with double membrane capsule
* The studio microphone classic
* Three directional characteristics: omni, cardioid, figure-8
* Switchable low frequency roll-off
* Switchable 10 dB pre-attenuation
* Ideal as main and as support microphone in the most differing recording situations
