Studio Microphone

The U87 is probably the best known and most widely used Neumann studio microphone.

The U87 is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the headgrille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.

Directional characteristic: Omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8
Frequency range: 20-20000 Hz
Nominal impedance: 200 Ohm
Weight: 500 g
Diameter: 56 mm
Length: 200 mm

The Studio Set ships with the EA87 Neumann Cradle in a wooded case.
