ARP Studio is delighted to use the Neumann U 87 Ai studio microphone. The U 87 Ai is probably the best-known and most widely-used Neumann studio microphone. It is equipped with a large dual-diaphragm capsule with 3 directional patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8. These patterns are selectable with a switch below the headgrille. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear, which 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.
