Advanced Audio CM87

The CM87 is a large-diaphragm, three-pattern, fet condenser microphone that features our double-diaphragm/double back-plate, 6-micron AK67 type capsule and Class A transformer-coupled amplifier design. It is well suited for recording vocals or instruments in any studio or live application.

The CM87 is built to a very high standard and offers a remarkably full yet well-defined and ultra-clean sound that is perfectly suited to the most demanding radio, dialogue and recording tasks. Its pickup pattern can be configured as omni, cardioid, or figure-eight.
