Static Microphone
The Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Set Ni is a set comprising a U 87 Ai Nickel microphone, accompanied by its EA87 Nickel suspension and a wooden storage box. The benchmark large-diaphragm condenser microphone! Nickel finish (also available in matt black).

Presentation
The Neumann U 87 Ai condenser microphone has three polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These can be switched using a switch located under the headgrille, and the window above this switch displays the symbol of the selected characteristic. A 10 dB attenuation pad is located at the rear. It allows the microphone to handle sound pressure levels of up to 127 dB without distortion. The low-frequency response can be reduced to compensate for the proximity effect.
The Neumann U 87 Ai Studio Set can be used for orchestral recordings, as a spot microphone for individual instruments and, to a large extent, as a vocal microphone for all types of music and speech.
The U 87 Ai's capsule is captured at the front. The cardioid frequency response and figure-of-eight directional characteristics are very flat for frontal sound incidence, even at higher frequencies. The microphone can be used very close to a sound source without the sound becoming saturated. A high-pass filter reduces interference from subsonic frequencies and low frequencies.
The circuit increases the operational headroom of the U 87 Ai by supplying the capsule bias voltages through a reduced resistance. The result is a 10 dB increase in sensitivity for identical sound pressure levels, and a 3 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio.
An additional switch on the rear of the U87 Ai allows you to change the microphone's cut-off frequency. This reduces low-frequency interference directly at the microphone amp input. This setting also compensates for the inevitable bass boost that occurs with all pressure gradient transducers when used at close range (proximity effect).
The cardioid pattern maintains a smooth frequency response at a distance of 30 to 40 cm, and the figure-8 pattern at a distance of 15 to 20 cm.

Microphone de qualité, incontournable. Sa tonalité est plutôt neutre, ce qui le rend très polyvalent.
