From the seller
This vintage Neumann U87 is in great shape. SN 30370. This mic was manufactured in 1977. This is part of the first generation of U87s, with the battery compartment. Electronics and capsule are all original. No mods. This mic sounds and works great. It has no issues. It works well in all polar patterns. High pass filter, and pad also work well. It was just serviced by The Mic Shop in Nashville, with 2 tantalum capacitors replaced and rebiasing. Capsule has been reskinned by Rico Vetterlein, who works with Thiersch Labs in Germany. Rico has been taking over the reskinning business of his father in law, Siegfried Thiersch. Both worked together for over 15 years at Thiersch Labs.
The body has some oxidation, scratches, and some small digs, but that’s pretty normal for the age of the microphone. The grill is in good condition, with some oxidation as well. Switches are in great shape.
This is a reliable and rich sounding microphone that will last many years to come.
Mic comes with an original Neumann Z48 shock mount, a waterproof case and a pouch. Its ready to plug and play!
