I really like this mic a lot. Very 67 and the NOS Telefunken tube really shines warmly. 3D sound and mid-forward in all the right ways. Perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments which is my focus. The highs shimmer and are never harsh. I really appreciate you making this type of quality legacy microphone at such a reasonable price. If you ever make a 47 tube, I’d probably bite. Thanks. Jeff
Best vocal microphone I've ever used! Ever! I bought two of the DA 87i mics (super sale price), and I've never had more success capturing my voice for tracking. I've been working in the studio for 35 plus years and have a warm, baritone, fairly gentle vocal style (I'm not a shouter). Among numerous $500-$1500 large diaphragm, ribbon, and dynamic mics I've owned/tried, the 87i is an extraordinary tool to work with. Although it's not a tube mic, its response reminds me very much of how tubes in a guitar amp respond to a guitar. There's this give-and-take, this sort of embrace of pressure that yields a living dynamic. Truly an excellent, excellent vocal mic. I'm done searching, that's for sure--this is exactly what I've always needed to honestly and musically capture my vocals in the studio.
