Stam Audio SA-87i (U87 clone)

The SA87i is NOT made in China and does not use a chinese output transformer. This is critical to it's sound.

Please note that all Stam products come with a "tariff free" policy which you can about on our site.

The SA-87i is an exact reproduction and identical sounding replica of a 1979 (rev16) Neumann U87i considered by most engineers as the finest sounding U87 ever made. It uses a custom UK-made Sowter output transformer which enables us to achieve the same THD and frequency response as an original.

This replica 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.

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.
