The SA-87 has established itself as the finest and most accurate replica of a vintage Neumann u87 microphone. The SA-87 is an exact reproduction of a 1979 (rev16) vintage Neumann U 87 microphone, considered by most engineers as the finest sounding U 87 ever made. Made with only premium components it features Vishay and polystyrene capacitors on the audio which are more stable and give a much more linear top end. This makes them the perfect choice for feedback circuitry. All of our 87’s replicas come with a Swedish custom made Lundahl output transformers and a Braingasm BG87 capsule which are handmade in Rome and are considered the most accurate K87 replicas in the market. The main shortcoming with current offerings is polarization voltage. While current models feature 60V, the vintage units were rated at 48V. The lower voltage of polarization makes the capsule sound more musical and mellow as well as increasing the microphones headroom, hence making it less susceptible to distortion. We have remained 100% faithful to the original vintage circuit and schematic and have made no compromise in parts which ensures you are getting the best sounding microphone possible. If youve used an original vintage U 87 before, were extremely confident the SA-87 will put a big smile on your face every time you use it. However, if youve never touched the original before, as gear-lovers ourselves we understand that the only way to really know if this microphone is for you, is to put it through its paces. This allows you to get it into your studio and see how it impacts your recordings. If you love it and we think you will! , greatkeep the unit and create amazing music with it. If not, no problems. Dont worry, whichever way you decide to go we will remain friends. BG Labs K87 (made in Rome). Custom Lundahl output transformer(made in the Sweden). True to the original vintage schematic (rev 16).
