Neumann U87 Ai Mic Review / Test

MicrophoneReview
Written By Bandrew Scott

Today I review one of the best microphones ever made, the Neumann U87 Ai. This is a 3 polar pattern large diaphragm mic that is very expensive. It has a controlled low-end, a forward mid section, and a smooth but detailed top end. It is very unforgiving in terms of tone as it captures what you put in front of it and doesn’t do much to help you out. I also compare it to the Neewer NW700, AT2020, Neat King Bee, sE X1, Rode NT1, Shure SM7b, RE20, CAD E100s, KSM32, TLM102, Mojave MA201 FET, OC818, KSM44a, C414 XLII, and TLM103.
