The Neumann U 87 Ai Stereo Set consists of two factory-matched consecutive pair large-diaphragm condenser microphones, acoustically selected for nearly identical sensitivity and frequency response. It is the premier, industry-standard solution for highly precise, phase-coherent stereo recordings (such as orchestral main arrays, pianos, and drum overheads).

Key Features & Specifications

• Matched Pair Precision: Microphones are tested and grouped at the factory to ensure optimal phase coherence and balanced stereo imaging.
• Versatile Polar Patterns: Includes omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, selected via a mechanical switch.
• Electronics & Capsule: Utilizes the heralded K 67 dual-diaphragm capsule combined with an ultra-transparent FET transformer-balanced circuit.
• Onboard Controls: Features a switchable -10 dB pad (for handling up to 127 dB SPL) and a low-cut filter to counteract proximity effect.

Stereo Set comes complete with professional-grade accessories required for deployment:

• Two elastically suspended EA 87 shock mounts to reduce structural noise.
• A heavy-duty aluminum carrying case that safely holds both microphones and mounts.

Pristine condition. Indistinguishable from new. Kept in the original case in my smoke free studio's climate controlled mic locker. Only ever used behind pop filters. Never left out overnight between sessions.
