What is the SM87A best suited to?
The SM87A is a sensitive condenserCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.Read moreGo to the glossary vocal mic that is ideal for lead or backing vocals on stage or in a recording studio. Its supercardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and very little from the sides, making it more directional than a cardioid mic. Read moreGo to the glossary polar pattern"Polar pattern" describes how well the microphone “hears“ sound from different directions.Read moreGo to the glossary provides greater rejection of unwanted sound sources, making it ideal for use in a reverberant or noisy environment.
How does it sound?
It has a smooth frequency responseThis is the range of frequencies, from the lowest to the highest, that a mic can pick up.Read moreGo to the glossary that's specifically tailored for warm, rich, vocal reproduction.
- Highly directional supercardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and very little from the sides, making it more directional than a cardioid mic. Read moreGo to the glossary pickup pattern
- Controlled low-frequency roll-off
