## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this microphone worth it??**
A: Short answer: For most situations outside of a multi-million-dollar studio, no.

Long answer: If you like the sound of this mic, have money to spare and are currently working a successful, profitable recording business, then it may be worth it. For this mic, you're also paying for the Neumann brand, the materials, the effort of skilled workers who make them by hand, and the mic's prominence. The U87 is the industry-standard microphone for recording voices (especially in animation and music) and works on pretty much anything you put in front of it. It may not often be the best-sounding choice, but it's never the wrong choice. It's also the one mic every decent sound engineer has worked with extensively.
But get this microphone only if you'll be using it regularly and won't regret the price tag.

The input impedance of the following ampli er should be at least  ve times as great, i.e.1000 ohms.U 87 Ai mt ............ blk ............ Cat. No. 007023As above, but with matt black  nish.The circuitry increases operational headroom of the U 87 Ai by supplying the bias voltages for the capsule through a reduced resistance. The result is a higher sensitivity of 10 dB for identical sound pressure levels, and an improved S/N ratio of 3 dB.Power Requirements	48 V+/- 4 VPad	Yes, 10 dBOutput Connectors
