Frequently Asked Questions
The finish itself doesn't alter the sonic characteristics, it’s purely aesthetic. However, the visual appeal can influence your confidence and connection to the microphone.
While it requires careful positioning, the tight pattern offers excellent isolation, a huge advantage when recording in untreated rooms or with multiple sources.
The M 940 offers a more neutral and detailed sound profile than the U 87, which is often associated with a warmer, more colored character; both are excellent, but cater to different preferences.
