Denali Dave,

But you need to have a pretty good room to use a U87ai successfully.
If the room acoustics and isolation are less than stellar, the other industry standard, Sennheiser MKH 416 might be a better option, if you want to go with one of the industry "standards".


Amen to that.

I'll second that Amen.

BBC standards call for a room with AT LEAST 1500 cubic feet of air, then a microphone like the U87 is comfortable.

I went down the clone/mod route with some microphones before buying my U87ai, I keep them for other things or travel, but they're their own beasts, subtle differences, but it's all gobbly gook.

If it sounds good to your client, and they're paying you with honest money, it's good.

The above would probably render at least half the discussions in this section moot, but, yeah. This. cool
