Owned by veteran Bay Area record producer Scott Mathews: this vintage Neumann U87 condenser microphone, from approximately 1979, was well taken-care-of in his private recording studio. This mic sounds great, is fully functional, and was used on sessions with Susan Tedeschi, Roy Orbison, and the Beach Boys.
Three selectable polar patterns: omni, cardioid, and figure-8. −10dB pad, switchable bass rolloff, 48V phantom required. The microphone was his go-to microphone for vocals, horns, guitars, and other instruments for many years. The mic comes with the shock-mount cage.
