Title: Not worth it
Review: I've been playing music and recording for over 30 years......I ran a test between the high dollar U87 and some very inexpensive mics from CAD / MXL and Audio Technica and there was next to no difference. There is a huge markup on this Mic and it is mainly from past nostalgia. Since then many of the same parts are used in a variety of Mics. I used a very inexpensive Audio Techica through an Alesis Firewire Mixer as a preamp and had excellent results. The Mic cost about 65.00 with a frequency response of 20 to 20khz which is completely in the human hearing range......I guess we can thank Mass production and the fact that many of these mics are made in China. Quality control is good, but to spend 3,000 and above for a condensor microphone these days is a waste of money period.
