zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Low Cut off, three directional characteristics: omni, cardioid, figure-8 and 10dB attenuation are the plus. Get a Shock mount with it, it would be useful.

Quality:
Considering quality, When you see the name "Neumann" on a microphone then stop worrying about the quality. It is the best.

Value:
Well, it is expensive, but once you have it.....you'll never turn back to any Microphone again.

Desirability:
Just looking at the mic. sitting majestically on a shock mount will make any singer get the real feel.

Sound:
What could go wrong when you use the legendary U-87....???? Absolute perfect quality sound.

Support:
I haven't had any repairs or questions, so I don't know about the tech support.

Overall:
I would never replace it till Neumann makes digital microphones affordable :>

The U87 is my studio's general purpose condenser mic. There's no comparison between it and knockoffs by Marshall, Rode and other companies; they may look like U87s on the outside, but it's the electronics inside that count. Better mics can be found--such as the AKG C12 or Neumann M149--but the U87 will not disappoint you.

Like the U47 it's accuracy tonal characteristics and warmth allow the vocal track to sit comfortably
and naturally within a complex mix with minimal (or in some cases) compression and EQ either while tracking or mixing.Has nice presence and is coplimentary to thin voices allowing their natural timbre to be more accurately recorded.
