BeesNeez Pro Audio B87i C

The BeesNeez B87i C

A Classic Sound

For many years, the Neumann U87 through its many revisions has found a place among the most usable studio microphones of all time. In fact, it is the only model that has been continually made since its release almost 50 years ago! Of the many revisions, the favorite is the original early model U87i. Why did this version of the U87 become the favorite? It was the overall musical tone that was much less sterile than the current U87Ai that helped the U87i become the most sought after and highest valued U87 model. In the used market these days, the buyer’s first question is always: “Is it the one with the battery compartment? If so, I’ll take it!”

Clones, clones, clones — they are everywhere! So, what makes this one from BeesNeez different? BeesNeez is the only microphone company to make the capsule, circuit, and the transformer for a clone version of the U87i. Other companies are restricted to buying these most important parts. For them, this means you get what you get. For BeesNeez however, this is not, nor has never been, the case. When BeesNeez want to make a microphone, they make the most important parts themselves to ensure the end result is exactly what they’re looking for.
