Frequently Asked Questions

The U87 is warmer and more forgiving; the Gefell offers greater detail and transparency, but requires more careful source selection and gain staging.
It's capable, but the 10 dB pad is essential to avoid distortion at high SPLs, and it might lack the aggressive character some guitarists prefer.
The Figure-8 pattern is relatively neutral off-axis, with a gentle roll-off rather than abrupt coloration, typical of well-designed pressure-gradient mics.
