Features of K87 Capsule :
The K87 capsule is one of the best known condenser microphone capsules. It has been developed on the same manufacturing basis as the K67 capsule, with the only difference that the two rear plates are electrically insulated from each other.
The K87 Premium capsule of the brand “Replica Microphone” is a large-diaphragm capsule with a German-designed Mylar diaphragm. Both backplates are easily connected to the outside for use in microphones that do not require a 4-wire configuration. The Mylar film is very thin, only 6 microns, and is gold plated.
It will be a great addition to your U87 setup and will provide superior sound gain thanks to its premium finish.

Frequency Response
Here is the analysis graph between sound level and response frequency (Hz) developed for the K87 capsule. Analysis made by an independent sound laboratory.
Result : The capsule K87 Premium have a good and pretty ‘flat’ low-end and show the (desired) boost around 10 KHz.
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 !!
