The UA Bock 187 large-diaphragm FET condenser mic will give your studio the classic tone of the legendary U87 with modern sonic enhancements. Each microphone is handmade in Santa Cruz, California, to the exacting specifications of world-renowned mic designer David Bock. Vintage U87 mics are known for their presence, but can get strident when pushed. UA Bock 187 enhances this classic design with a larger transformer, refined circuitry, and a unique "fat" mode that delivers a boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz. This translates into more dynamic range, presence, and fullness on vocals, guitars, and more.
