The original U87 sound
With the K87 Premium capsule according to the original specifications, the sound of our kit is faithful to the original microphone found in the world’s largest studios.
The perfect original U87 clone!
The schematic is a full replica of the original microphone. It is a side-address, large-diaphragm design based on K87 capsule, the best FET, premiums componants and a T87 transformer-coupled output circuit.
All components are carefully matched and selected in our workshops. We attach great importance to the precision of our circuits to be as accurate as possible compared to the original.
