Hello, first post
I recently had 4 U87s worked on and they all came back from the tech way too bright for my tastes. Overall the tone is right but I am having to cut 4-6db out of the high end over the 8khz range to make them sound anywhere close to smooth when recording on axis. Off axis, however, I can get a nice tone.
Does this HF lift have to do with the capsule or the some components on the preamp?
Also, what would you recommend doing if I were to try and experiment with one of my U87s? Worst case scenario I screw it up and send it to someone to get it fixed.
Thanks for any help guys!
