Frequently Asked Questions

The P12 leans towards a warmer, more vintage-flavored tone than the U87, which is known for its more neutral and modern character. Think less clinical, more soulful.
While the omni is exceptional, it’s unforgiving; a well-treated room is almost essential for optimal results with this pattern. It’s a testament to the mic’s quality, not a flaw.
Clean, transparent preamps with ample headroom will let the P12’s character shine. Something with a bit of subtle tube saturation can also be beautiful, but avoid overly colored preamps.
