B - nickel Neumann U 87 Ai - a modern incarnation of a classic microphone. . Introduced in 1967, the U 87 immediately won the favor of engineers producers and their clients; by the mid-70s it had become a staple of every world-class recording studio. And that's still the case. Walk into a session and you'll see '87s everywhere. On the piano vocals, toms, overheads, guitar cabinets, brass, strings cong - whatever. The popularity of the microphone is easy to understand: it ushered in a new era of sound quality and reliability , and thanks to three selectable polar patterns (cardioid omnidirectional and figure eight) as well as a switchable high-pass filter and a 10 d pre-attenuation panel
B The microphone is incredibly versatile and is an ideal choice for a wide range of recording methods. Neumann U 87 Ai is a large diaphragm condenser microphone which is an industry standard. If you strive for accuracy clarity and authoritative presence With its smooth midrange and smooth presence enhancement, the U 87 Ai is your go-to mic. We all need vocals to shine in the mix. and the 87th was created for this. It is not suitable for every vocalist but you'll find it the best vocal mic on countless iconic recordings. Piano ? Large or vertical if you need so that the acoustic piano sits beautifully on a thick track a pair of 87s will do the job. Offering a choice of three switchable polar patterns (omnidirectional , cardioid and figure eight), the U 87 Ai gives you impressive flexibility when it comes to learning different recording techniques. With two 87s you can implement such stereo methods , as spaced pair (A/B), XY (including Blumlein) ORTF array and mid-side (MS). For a full orchestra, add a third 87 for a minimalist and highly effective Mercury Live Presence technique: three spaced Omni-87s across the entire orchestral soundstage in the center above the conductor's podium. Neumann produced the original U 87 from 1967 to 1986 when it was replaced by the current version U 87 Ai. The U 87 Ai is equipped with upgraded electronic components; however, the capsule design remained unchanged. The modern circuit increases the working range of the microphone by reducing resistance through which the capsule bias voltage is applied. This increases sensitivity by 10 dB at the same sound pressure levels and improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 3 dB. If you are using the U 87 Ai to capture a loud source You'll need a switchable 10 d sound pre-attenuation panel
B. When the pad is activated, the microphone can perceive sound pressure levels up to 127 dB - Ideal for listening to tom toms or a muted guitar amp stack. Additional switch enables microphone bass cut which reduces unwanted dirt and rumble at the microphone amplifier input. This setting also compensates for the proximity effect , the bass enhancement that all pressure gradient transducers exhibit when they are located very close to the source. The distance between the membrane and the microphone capsule electrode is 35 microns - less than the width of a human hair. The gold layer deposited on the diaphragm of the U 87 Ai capsule has a thickness of only 0 03 microns which corresponds to 208 gold atoms. Even minor levels of contamination can negatively affect sound performance Therefore, Neumann microphones are assembled in a state-of-the-art cleanroom with controlled dust levels of less than 100 particles per cubic foot—suitable conditions for the production of semiconductor chips and cores. catheters.
