Product Overview

The Neumann EA 87 (Model: 007297) is the definitive professional elastic shock mount for the world’s most famous studio microphone: the Neumann U 87 Ai. Finished in a classic Nickel (Satin), this "spider-style" suspension is an essential tool for high-end recording. It is specifically designed to isolate the microphone from mechanical vibrations and structure-borne noise, ensuring that the legendary clarity and character of the U 87 Ai remain untouched by external interference.

Product Description

• The Gold Standard for Isolation: The U 87 Ai is a highly sensitive instrument that captures every detail of a performance. To prevent low-frequency "thumps" caused by footfalls, floor vibrations, or nearby traffic, the EA 87 uses a high-performance elastic suspension. By decoupling the microphone from the stand, it effectively creates an acoustic barrier against mechanical noise.

• Integrated Precision Swivel: To facilitate surgical microphone placement, the EA 87 features a robust swivel mount. This allows the user to tilt and rotate the microphone with precision to find the perfect axis for vocals, orchestral soloists, or acoustic instruments. A heavy-duty locking screw ensures the microphone stays exactly where you set it.

• Secure Threaded Locking System: Unlike universal "clip" mounts, the EA 87 is designed for absolute security. The microphone is set into the inner cage and secured to the base using a specialized threaded nut. This direct-attachment method provides a rock-solid connection, allowing the microphone to be safely used in any orientation, including hanging upside down for "vintage-style" vocal tracking.

• Classic Nickel Aesthetic: The EA 87 is precision-machined and finished in a beautiful satin nickel to perfectly match the U 87 Ai. The inner ring is carefully lined to protect the microphone's premium finish from scratches during mounting and adjustment.

• Universal Stand Compatibility: Designed for global studio standards, the mount features a 5/8"-27 female thread. It also includes a high-quality thread adapter for 1/2" and 3/8" stands, making it compatible with every professional microphone stand and boom arm in existence.
