Versatile Applications

Neumann U 89 i MT is a universal studio microphone that is one of the most popular choices for multi-instrumental, voice-over, and vocal performances. This mic combines the power of sonic precision and state-of-the-art diaphragm condenser linearity. Combined with the flexibility and smoothness of the microphone, this microphone provides industry leading audio. The U 89 i is a celebrated vocal microphone used by trained professionals seeking natural tones of voice in their recordings. It is also commonly used for film dubbing and voice-over. The off-axis behaviour and flexibility of the microphone also make it suitable for orchestral recordings. You can use it as a spot or main mic during individual sections and solos.

Advanced Condenser Capsule

The Neumann microphone has an integrated K89 advanced dual-diaphragm condenser capsule which offers a smooth and extended frequency response in different polar patterns. The uniform diffuse-field response is important for recording natural sounds, especially in a reverberant environment. The sound balance of U 89 i stays the same and uncoloured, even if you switch between different polar patterns or an off-axis sound, such as audio spills from other instruments. Perfect for all studio applications, the microphone features five switchable polar patterns, including omnidirectional, figure-8, cardioid, hypercardioid, and wide cardioid.

Technical Superiority

The U 89 i Neumann microphone with an advanced K89 capsule is a small and lightweight choice. With a goal for premium audio, this mic benefits from industry leading tech to deliver high-end results. It can handle high sound pressure levels and features a flexible low-cut 80/160 Hz filter to minimise rumble effects. The Neumann mic also provides a configurable -6 dB pad that can capture up to 140 dB SPLs without any distortion. This makes it a suitable choice for almost every recording scenario.
