VINTAGE Authentic Neuman U87 Ai rare Condenser Microphone w/ Suspension & Case

Description: Neumann U87 Ai rare Condenser MicrophoneA genuine Neumann U87Ai, purchased before Sennheiser acquired the company.This high-grade condenser microphone is a classic among classics.It’s a world-standard model that has been used in numerous recordings. The Neumann sound has become a benchmark for evaluating microphones.Shock Mount SetNickel FinishSwitchable Polar Patterns (Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, Cardioid)Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHzMax SPL: 127dB SPL/117dB (Cardioid)Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80dBOutput Impedance: 200ΩPower Supply: Phantom 48V ± 4VDimensions & Weight: Diameter 56mm, Length 200mm, Weight 500gThe U87Ai is used as the main microphone for orchestral recordings, spot microphone for instruments, and vocal microphone for all kinds of music.Three Polar PatternsIt features a large dual-diaphragm capsule with omnidirectional, cardioid, and bidirectional polar patterns. These can be switched via the switch under the head grille, with a window above the switch indicating the current pattern.Max SPL HandlingBy engaging the 10dB attenuation switch on the back, the microphone can handle up to 127dB SPL without distortion.An additional switch allows changing the microphone’s cutoff frequency to reduce low-frequency interference directly affecting the mic amplifier.Recently, counterfeit Neumann microphones have been circulating, so I’ve included photos of the circuitry. Counterfeits often use cheap electrolytic capacitors costing only a few yen. Not only are the diaphragms different, but the electrical circuits are as well.AppearancePlease note that this is a used item, so there are minor scratches and stains.ConditionVintage one.I purchased it nearly 30 years ago and have carefully stored it since. Although I bought it around 20 years ago, I have only used the U87Ai twice in the past ten years: once for a wind instrument recording in a film and once for a live streaming performance.Included ItemsDedicated Suspension Holder, BoxReceipt and proof of purchase are not available.
