K87 Microphone Capsule Premium

The sound is very similar, it is difficult to tell the differences, which is very good. Maybe it's a little more presentable than the original, but I can't claim that. And my Neuman U87ai is 30 years old, if I put the original diaphragm from Neuman, it probably wouldn't be 100% the same..... great job, well done.

As a producer and sound engineer, I have owned and used every professional mic ever made for decades and know them well. U47's, U67¨s, U87's, TLM's, Telefunken's, C12's, Manleys, 414 vintage and XL's and the C800.

That said, I was on the fence wanting to buy this capsule for a couple of years.
I regret waiting so long, it would have saved me so many headaches.

I finally bought the K87 a month ago and installed it in a MA87.
It's a $70 dollar mic on Ebay.
I was blown how it made this cheap mic sound better than a $4,000 mic!
I can't believe how linear sounding it is.
When I boost the treble 2 - 3db it's crystal clear with no plosive harsh consonants.

The K87 is a great sounding capsule in my ears.
Makes mixing vocals a breeze, I barely have to use any eq or compression.
I will be replacing a lot of capsules this summer :).
Excellent job Mic&Mod !!
