The SA-87i is an exact reproduction of the best sounding vintage Neumann U87 microphone we could find and considered by most engineers as the finest sounding U87 ever made.

A replica of one of the finest sounding condenser microphones in history

We have recreated the distinctive character of our all time favorite vintage Neumann U 87 microphone to the very last detail, and for the first time, at a price that makes it affordable to anyone.

The SA-87i is made with premium components

The SA-87i features premium Vishay capacitors on the audio path as well as polystyrene capacitors, which are more stable and much more linear in the top end. This makes them the perfect choice for feedback circuitry. Every unit comes with a custom Sowter output transformer made in UK and a custom BG K-87 capsule from Rome.

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 microphone’s 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.

100% satisfaction guarantee – if you don’t love your SA-87i, we’ll refund you

If you’ve used an original vintage U87 before, we’re extremely confident the SA-87i will put a big smile on your face every time you use it.

However, if you’ve 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. That’s why the SA-87 comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. 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!), great…keep the unit and create amazing music with it. If not, no problems. Just send it back to us and we’ll fully refund your purchase.
