OVERALL OPINION

I have several SM87 for years. This is the first condenser microphone designed for voice near the stage made it seem. Show: http://members.aol.com/mihartkopf/frameset.htm
He did not stay long in the catalog Shure. Finally I do not know what was the first of the SM85 or SM87. I have owned several pieces of two models, I still have 4 or 5. The SM87 (like 85) is made to close the socket and doing very well. I find it less balanced than the sm85. Very interresting used as his grand-son the famous SM87A quasiement has the same sound, the same fish, the same solid construction. I could not choose between the two, easy to mix and have few acoustic reactions. Used in over-head, sax, some skin too much cash for it. I like him for that too, you can take a gueuleur blues or a slender girl's voice, and in proximity to 15/20 cm (if the singer moves a little) by compressing more or less depending on the difficulty . This is a great vocal mic, you know. After it is a matter of taste and experience. In home studio is clean and efficient as it removes fairly easily for himself the filth and parasites captures the delicate inflections of the song.
