Neumann U87Ai Studio Microphone

Q: Is this microphone worth it??

Short answer: For most situations outside of a multi-million-dollar studio, no. Long answer: If you like the sound of this mic, have money to spare and are currently working a successful, profitable recording business, then it may be worth it. For this mic, you're also paying for the Neumann brand, the materials, the effort of skilled workers who make them by hand, and the mic's prominence. The U87 is the industry-standard microphone for recording voices (especially in animation and music) and works on pretty much anything you put in front of it. It may not often be the best-sounding choice, but it's never the wrong choice. It's also the one mic every decent sound engineer has worked with extensively. But get this microphone only if you'll be using it regularly and won't regret the price tag.

Q: Does it need an external power supply or can it be powered by phantom power?

Yes can be powered by phantom power U 87 Ai ................ ni ............. Cat. No. 007022Standard version with male 3-pole connector in- sert and satin nickel nish.
