The BeesNeez B87i Multipattern Microphone is a lovingly crafted tribute to one of the most iconic studio microphones of all time, delivering the warm, musical character of the classic U87i with modern refinements and meticulous Australian craftsmanship.
Designed to capture vocals and instruments with depth, presence, and unmistakable character, the B87i offers rich midrange detail, controlled low end, and smooth, natural highs that sit effortlessly in a mix. It’s a microphone built for engineers who want vintage tone without vintage compromises. At the heart of the B87i is the BeesNeez BN-K87 capsule paired with a custom-wound high-mu toroid transformer, carefully tuned to recreate the sonic signature that made the original design legendary. With three selectable polar patterns, an internal –10 dB pad, and a low-cut filter, the B87i adapts easily to vocals, acoustic instruments, drum rooms, and stereo techniques. Lower self-noise than the original vintage reference and modern internal switching ensure clean, reliable performance in today’s digital recording environments — all while preserving the soul of a timeless classic.
