Neumann U87 condenser microphoneThe Neumann U87 is without-a-doubt, the most famous mic in all of music history.

Look at some old photos of rock stars recording their iconic albums, and chance are, they’re standing next to a U87.

How did it get so famous?

Well back in 1928, Georg Neumman came up with the original CMV3 “Neumann Bottle”, which quickly became a standard in many fields.

As time passed, Neumann continuously refined his designs until the U87 made it’s first appearance in the late 1960’s.

By reputation alone, it has since become known by many as the company’s flagship microphone.
