Produced in the late 1970s, this original Neumann U87i FET model was part of the microphone’s production run from 1967 to 1986. Featuring the K87 dual diaphragm capsule with switchable cardioid, omni, and figure eight patterns, it includes a 10 dB pad and 100 Hz low cut filter. This version uses the standard 3 pin XLR connector rather than the earlier 7 pin Tuchel style, making it compatible with modern studio equipment. A legendary FET microphone, it remains a definitive choice for vocals and instruments and a prized piece of recording history.
