This is a rare opportunity!

Four matched Neumann U87s from 1971 with original swivel mounts. Serial numbers are 19014, 19016, 19017, and 19018.

These mics have been serviced and are ready to be used in your recording studio. The electronics have been serviced by The Mic Shop in Nashville. They have been rebiased and checked throughout. The capsules are original and have been reskinned and matched by Rico Vetterlein (Thiersch Labs/ Mikrofon Union) in Germany. All 4 mics sound absolutely identical!

The 7 pin swivel mounts have the original cables and are 30ft long each.

Everything works perfectly and sounds great. This is a perfect set for orchestral recordings, choirs, applications where stereo recordings are needed, overheads, rooms, etc. These vintage U87s shine on vocals and all sorts of acoustic instruments. If you dont need to use them all together, you will have plenty of identical sounding backups.

These are super reliable vintage microphones and very rare to be found in sequential numbers like this set. They have the European 7 pin connectors, which were the standard until early 70s.

The bodies and grills have some normal blemishes from 55 years of use. They have some scratches and small dents, which are fully displayed in the pictures.

This set comes in two waterproof cases and the mics are housed in protective pouches.
