Industry-standard mike with excellent sound and reliability
This is a famous model of condenser microphone which has been in production for many years. I own a number of reasonable quality large-diaphragm microphones and, of these, this is the one which I use most often in my project studio. My main uses are for male vocals and acoustic guitar, and for these applications it performs very well. The sound is clear with, to my ears, no obvious loudness or quietness in any frequency range. I have also used this to record electric guitar amplifier (I'm always a little nervous about this as the U87 is rather expensive so I tend not to subject it to too loud a signal close up). This has worked ok although for this use I would often prefer a dynamic microphone, or perhaps a combination of each type. In summary this is a classic high-quality all-rounder. If I had to pick just one mike from my collection to use on everything this would be it.

It's the mic you need!
Simply put Neumann U87 Ai has upgraded my recordings to a Pro level. I record my music, voice overs and youtube videos with it exclusively. Guitars, vocals, percussions all shine when you use it. If you are serious about your recording gear this is a must have!
Pros:
Sound quality is outstanding.
Cons:
Pricy - but totally worth it.

The microphone is very good. It is a veritable classic microphone.And I must praise thomann's service quality and work efficiency, especially when I urgently need a microphone.

No need to say. There are reasons that this microphone is studio standard.

Fantastic!
I'm not so technical and don't no every detail. But this microphone sounds perfect. I think that I will never buy another one. I'm completely satisfied how it sounds. It doesn't cut the bass on the vocals, like some of the cheaper ones have done, that I have bought.

Neumann still rules !!
After a "burn in" period, the Neumann U87-Ai is proving indispensable. This microphone will most likely outlive me: my progeny shall someday plug in, mic up, and exclaim "Holy S**t". I need say no more. Buy it; you must.
