Neumann - U 89 I MT
Universal studio microphone combining a classic transformer-coupled circuit topology with a state-of-the-art Neumann capsule. Its linear yet smooth response makes it an ideal choice for both spoken and sung vocals, and with five selectable polar patterns, high SPL, low noise and low distortion, it covers almost any recording situation, in any genre.
Presentation
Features include five selectable polar patterns and a two-stage low-cut, as well as switchable 6dB pre-attenuation for extreme sound pressure levels up to 140dB without unwanted distortion.
The U 89 i combines the sonic accuracy and linearity of a state-of-the-art small-diaphragm condenser microphone with the smoothness and flexibility of a large-diaphragm microphone. This makes it a truly universal studio microphone.
It's an excellent vocal microphone, particularly for skilled professionals who prefer their voice to be captured in all its natural beauty. For the same reasons, the U 89 i is a sought-after microphone for voice-overs and film dubbing.
Its unique combination of flexibility and superior off-axis behaviour make it an excellent choice for orchestral recordings, where it can be used as the main microphone or as a spot microphone for soloists and individual sections.
