FOR SALE: Vintage Neumann U87i – A Real Mic for People Who Actually Know What They’re Doing

THE MIC THAT NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION

If you’re here, you already know what this is. If you don’t, stop wasting time and go buy a $99 USB mic.

This is a proper 1970s Neumann U87i—not some overhyped reissue, not a budget knockoff. This is the mic that has been used on countless iconic records for a reason.


NO, IT’S NOT “JUST AS GOOD” AS YOUR CHEAP ALTERNATIVE. NO, I DON’T CARE IF YOU THINK IT IS.

✅ WHAT YOU’RE GETTING (IF YOU’RE NOT CLUELESS):

✔ A Vintage 1970s Neumann U87i – Back when Neumann still made things properly.

✔ All Original Components – No sketchy replacements, no “mods” by some wannabe engineer.

✔ The Sound That Built Countless Hits – Warm, smooth, detailed. If you don’t get why that matters, move along.


WHY YOU WANT THIS (OR WHY I DON’T CARE IF YOU DON’T):

It’s Been with studios for Decades – If you think your $200 mic is “just as good,” maybe upgrade your ears first.
Used in Top Studios Worldwide – Meanwhile, you’re still debating whether a $30 plugin will fix your weak recordings.
Versatile & Holds Its Value – This isn’t just gear; it’s an investment. Unlike your crypto portfolio this morning


CONDITION:

✅ 100% Original – No excuses, no nonsense.

✅ Professionally Maintained – Plug it in. Use it. No headaches.


⚠ A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE COMPLAINERS ⚠
Oh, and to the guy who got upset over my Studer listing—you know, the one who cried about how my Studer ad was too “unfriendly”? Buddy, I sincerely hope this post ruins your day.

If honest sales posts hurt your feelings, you’ve got bigger issues. Maybe sort those out first.


❌ TIME-WASTERS, MOVE ALONG ❌

No “What’s your best price?” messages. If you ask that, this mic is already too expensive for you

No hand-holding. This is a professional tool. If you need reassurance, you’re not ready for it.

No whining. If this listing offends you, fantastic—that just means I don’t have to deal with another time-waster



SERIOUS BUYERS KNOW WHAT TO DO.

If you’re actually serious about owning one of the best microphones ever made, FIRE THAT DM

The microphone may be amazing, but the seller sounds like a jerk.

 

Your mic sucks.

 

I didn’t say shit in the previous post about the Studer console listing but this one rubbed me the wrong way.

There’s no pictures of the actual mic, no servicing dates/notes to prove this has been well maintained. That’s the bare minimum.

The obnoxious sales post from an account with less than 10 posts with no feedback? Yeah, nah. If I was a genuinely interested buyer, I’d be turned off immediately.

At least provide proof of feedback from any other websites to help validate legitimacy of yourself as a seller, the item and the actual intent to sell because I swear to fuckin’ god nobody would be this obnoxious about an item they’re genuinely trying to sell.

 

What a charming way to sell a microphone.

 

Trying to sell here is sus bro

 

3 posts ... 3 expansive sells

 

Reading this post made my day. The seller is a fucking genius.

 

Smell AI generated sell

 

Tell me, did he forget the price? Does he have the original receipt or is it stolen?
The microphone is 54 years old, has it ever been serviced by Neumann?

 

Hi, is this the microphone in question?

Or the more expensive version from AliExpress?

 

Nobody would read it.

 

your mic and your post plus your attitude, are NOT cool, I hope you will never sell it! I wish you a life full of people like you so you can tell how SICK your spirit is!
