Will you be able to recognize the original Neumann U87 of the replica?
Microphone A : Neumann U87 (1984 model)
Microphone B : U87 DIY Kit
I have now built 3 of them and all sounded richer and clearer in comparison shots than an original Neumann U87Ai. My recommendation: Use the attached modified capacitor for more low end and search for the mod for the low cut filter in Discord!
Took a long time to arrive (in Australia) but it was worth the wait. This mic is just amazing, the sound is pure and provides no imperfections, I'm thinking of recommending another one soon!
Ich habe lange nach einem U87-Klon gesucht, der dem Original ähnelt. Ich muss zugeben, dass der von Mic&Mod wirklich die beste Wahl war, viel interessanter als der von "Warm Audio".
I can only recommend this kit! Extremely high-quality components and of course exactly the original U87 sound you are looking for 🙂
And it‘s fun and not hard to build, with a perfect documentation!
"This kit is easy to build for beginner about 4hours or more if you take your time. Sounds just wonderful against my old Lauten mic and to me better as AKG C414XLII for vocal in the mix.
