Citation : Le mythe du "c'était mieux avant" pour a peu près tout...

Citation : some more interesting background on these different neumanns:

"There is a lot of truth in what everyone is saying, but I thought I'd
clear up some of the minor misconceptions about the different U 87
versions:

1. The original U 87 (1967 to 1986) used a different capsule (K87) than
it's predecessor, the U 67 (K67). The two capsules are acoustically
identical but the two halves of the backplate of the K87 are
electrically insulated from each other. So, instead of the typical three
connections of a dual-diaphragm design, this one has four.

2. When the U 87Ai was introduced, the K67 was employed again, as there
was no advantage perceived with using the split backplate.

3. The circuit for the newer (and still current) U 87Ai uses a DC-DC
converter, which the original did not. This allows for higher internal
voltages to be stabilized from the 48v supply, which in turn allows for
better noise figures and more dynamic range. The U 87Ai gives 6 dB
lower noise and 10 dB more signal to noise than it's predecessor.

4. The "U 89" on the electronics of the U 87Ai refers to the use of the
DC-DC converter circuit, which is the same as that in the U 89i. The
amplifier circuits themselves, however, are different in the two mics.

Citation : TL Audio commença à commercialiser des équipements audio en 1990, les premiers produits étaient en fait des modules NEVE. La marque s'immisça dans la brèche du matériel audio à lampes accessible financièrement avec en premier lieu le EQ-1, un égaliseur à lampes, puis le C-1, un compresseur à lampes.
