Neumann U87 Rhodium Limited Edition

The Neumann U87 – Rhodium Edition is a large condesner microphone, offering 3 patterns limited to 500 units worldwide which are individually numbered and certified.
For 50 years the U 87 has been setting standards in the field of audio recording. Neumann celebrates the anniversary of this studio legend with a very special limited edition, the U 87 Rhodium* Edition – a microphone that looks as classy as it sounds.
Rhodium reflects more light than any other precious metal. That’s why it is used for the mirrors of high-performance telescopes that study the farthest reaches of the universe. Additionally, rhodium is rarer than gold. The chemical process used to extract it is so expensive that the annual world production would fit under a living room table. So when Paul McCartney’s record sales left gold and platinum in the dust, in 1979 he received the world’s first and only rhodium record.
