The U 87 presents a wide range of features and versatility that make it to one of the most desirable mics available. Our users are recognizing the microphone immediately by its distinctive design. Well-known for its warm and well balanced characteristics - your perfect choice as vocal microphone for all types of music and speech. The usage as main microphone for orchestra recordings or as spot mic for single instruments make it the most general-purpose microphone - in studios, for broadcasting, film and television.The U 87 is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with three directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the headgrille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.

Top class mic. But the shock mount price is kinda audacious
The mic gets 5 stars, but even if the shock mount was made of titanium... it's 400$ or something like that. Just isn't even remotely worth that price. It's good, don't get me wrong. Just not 300 or 400 good. The mic quality speaks for itself. Anyone knows it's a 5 star, but still crazy expensive as well. If you can, save yourself some serious money by trying to get JUST the mic and sourcing the windscreen and rycote shock mount somewhere else.
