The U89 I mt is a workhorse mic, plain and simple. It’s got that classic Neumann clarity and detail, but with added flexibility thanks to the multiple polar patterns and high SPL handling. Ideal for engineers and studios needing a top-tier mic for vocals, acoustic instruments, and even louder sources – it's a real problem solver.
Product Description
Neumann U89 I mt, Large Diaphragm Studio Microphone
The U 89 is a studio microphone for universal applications. The headgrille protects a dual-diaphragm capsule. A rotary switch below the headgrille selects from five different polar patterns. Therefore the microphone can be adapted easily to large-surfaced or wide sound sources, or to sound sources to be recorded at a greater distance.
The maximum sound pressure level of 134 dB can be increased to 140 dB with a rotary switch. Another rotary switch is provided for lowering the transmission distance below the selectable frequencies 80 Hz or 160 Hz.
In addition to the usual directional polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8, we have added a hypercardioid and wide-angle cardioid characteristic. When compared to the standard cardioid pattern, the hypercardioid characteristic suppresses sound from the side more efficiently. The wide-angle polar pattern is especially useful when recording large sound sources.
