Neumann U 87 Ai Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

For sale is my Neumann U 87 Ai, finished in nickel and Made in Germany. This microphone is approximately 3 years old and has seen only about 30 hours of actual studio use.

It has been carefully handled and stored in its wooden case when not in use. As the photos show, the microphone is in exceptionally clean cosmetic condition, with a clean grille, body, Neumann badging and controls.

The U 87 Ai is one of the most recognized professional studio microphones ever produced and is widely used for vocals, voice-over, acoustic instruments, guitar, piano and professional recording applications.
