Hey everyone,
I'm selling my U87 Clone that I built a few years back as my first microphone project. Its a SYT-5 body (including a shockmount and a little pouch) that houses Dany's D87 PCBs, an AMI T13 transformer and a Maiku K87 capsule.
The bias is only set with a multimeter, since I didn't have an oscilloscope back then. Also, looking at the PCBs you can still see some flux residue and I remember I had some random pops one time, when I took it from a cold to a warm place to record. So it might not be the number one choice for high humidity recording (yet), but I don't think it's a problem a little isopropyl alcohol couldn't fix. So there is room for improvement, but considering it was my first build, the soldering and everything else isn't terrible.
It has only been used for one album production three years back and a handful of times at home, but the last two years it's only been sitting on my shelf. When I tested it today, everything worked well.
If anyone is looking for a U87 clone and is maybe willing to do a quick check-up, that I don't have time for atm, you are in luck. Im looking for 450€, which is a little less than the cost of the parts. But I'm also willing to take offers. Shipping preferably within the EU.
