Frequently Asked Questions
It aims to capture the U87's essence, but lacks the sheer 'weight' in the low-mids; the Peluso is more transparent and airy.
Absolutely, the 152 dB SPL handling capability makes it very capable for loud sources, though careful gain staging is still crucial.
While it works well with most preamps, a clean, transparent preamp will allow the microphone's character to shine through without masking its detail.
