Yes. The 87 has a disconnected sounding top end. For the 87Ai it should be around 10k and for the 87i it should be around 8k. I find it to be less offensive with the 87i. The K89 capsule mics (the 170, 193 and 89) sound amazing to me. They have fantastic low - low mid range response that makes the body of a voice sound virtually undefeatable. You can listen to it through an array of playback systems and you will not lose that sense of fullness, which cannot be said for a lot of microphones. Fun fact: the TLM 193 is the mic they use to record the voices for Family Guy.

My pleasure!

Thanks for the comparison! I've done quite a few voice-overs on both these mics and the 170 is my all time favorite mic (I own a 170i). I've never like the U87. I always felt I was fighting it, that it took the punch out of my voice. The best audio engineer I've known, Bert Penninx (God have his soul), always put me on a 170 to do commercials, and said about the U87: "It's for singing!".

The TLM-103 is no different than the u87 in that regard. It was meant for capturing instruments with the freakish sensitivity of a bat. Even using the u87 emulations on a Sphere L22 I'm left with one big question.... Why? I just don't get it. I'm not a singer and maybe that explains it.

If people don’t wanna use eq , and more top highs use a u87 . if someone says it is great as it is use a tlm170i or 193 whatsoever. Also someone can use a tlm170i with a compressor not in action only for the transformer a bit. It can crank up the highs a little. In this example they both sound good but the tlm170 just a little bit better. An other “if money doesn’t mean anything to you “ a Fairchild 660 clone makes the u87 a 20k dollar mik . But as always you must measure it by your self. Greetzzz

A sounds ready to go to

Great ear! That was a TLM 103 so a different microphone but still in the same lineup. This one is a TLM 170R. They look fairly similar.

Ah yes, my mistake! I was just getting over being sick when recording this one. That may be the difference.
