Neumann is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its U87 studio mic with the U 87 Rhodium Edition – a special rhodium-plated version of the classic original.
Exclusive, limited and made to order, Neumann is offering the U 87 Rhodium Edition only once, making only 500 units worldwide. Each of the microphones is individually numbered with a certificate of authenticity hand signed by Wolfgang Fraissinet, President, Neumann.Berlin.
He explained: “This extraordinary combination is the ideal way to celebrate the 50th birthday of the U 87. The exclusivity and beauty of rhodium powerfully expresses the timeless quality of this microphone. The Rhodium Edition truly embodies the high standards of Neumann.”
Every U 87 Rhodium Edition is supplied with a Neumann aluminum case and a special Rhodium Edition EA 87 elastic suspension. A pair of black gloves is also included for keeping the limited-edition microphone in pristine condition.
It is exclusively available via select dealers with orders starting from September 2017. The firm has also set up a special microsite celebrating 50 years of the U87, which provides an up-to-date list of dealers with available special editions
