The RK-87 is a gorgeous version of the capsule in the Neumann U67 and U87. It has insulated backplates, and works extraordinarily well in the DU-87 and other DIY U87 kits. These capsules are selected from our best capsule stock, with excellent front to back consistency. We test them individually prior to packaging for sale. By-the-way, this will my 8th, 9th, and 10th U87 build with your capsule. People are loving it. And considering the capsule is 90% of the sound, the credit goes to you. The sound is just luscious. Theres nothing tinny or twangy, never any reverb or echo, and it really shows my voice in its best light. The sound is bright without being sharp, warm without being dull. I love the RK-87 capsule; it is slightly forward like a U87, but has really good 20k response and detail. Dual brass backplates, with the K67/K87’s traditional drilling pattern. Insulated backplates; works in 3-wire and 4-wire multipattern circuits. Imported Mylar diaphragm material, metallized with pure gold. Very thin film material for increased articulation and sensitivity. Dual diaphragm, multipattern capable. Silver plated, oxygen-free copper wires. Includes short mounting post as well as our proprietary “supersaddle” to insure ease of installation. Includes all necessary mounting screws and wires. This capsule works best in circuits designed to accommodate it. We have voiced it with a milder high-frequency boost than its German ancestor, but still we would recommend using de-emphasis circuitry to provide corrective EQ. This capsule is difficult to beat within a DIY U87 style circuit (aka the D-87). It is also a great upgrade for the ADK A51, ADK S51, MXL 2001, MXL V67G, t. Bone SC450, MXL 3000, all of which use a U87-ish front end circuit but are compromised by the use of an undersized version of the K67 capsule. It is also a fantastic match with our own MP-V57 PCB kit (available separately), which can provide the necessary corrective EQ.
