NYC Metro Area - Audio Video Lighting Staging Equipment Rental & Production

***Please note: Certificate of Insurance is required for the rental of this item***

 

Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Great on vocals, overheads, acoustic guitars or just about anything.

The U87 was originally designed by Gerhart Bore of Neumann as a solid-state replacement for the very successful U67 tube microphone, (somewhat ironically, the U87 was debuted in 1967). The mic used the new K87 capsule, which was sonically identical to the K67 capsule, but utilized phantom power instead of an external PSU. In order to guarantee usability in the absence of a power source, the microphone body was fitted with a pair of 22.5v batteries to power the mic.
