The Shure SM87A is a condenser microphone that offers you smooth frequency response specifically tailored for warm, rich, vocal reproduction.
Redesigned from the original SM87, the SM87A sports a slightly thicker handle for a more comfortable feel. In addition, the SM87A now includes the A25D break-resistant swivel adapter.
Tight polar pattern for high gain-before-feedback and rejection of unwanted sounds plus a 3-point shockmount that minimizes stand and handling noise. Runs on phantom power.

Features

• Smooth frequency response with gradual presence rise
• Highly consistent supercardioid polar pattern provides superior gain-before-feedback
• Electronic low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect
• Wide dynamic range (117 dB) and low distortion characteristics 		 • Very low susceptibility to RFI and electromagnetic hum
• Advanced cartridge shock-mount system absorbs mechanical shocks and reduces handling noise
• Built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath sounds
• Legendary Shure quality and reliability
