Neumann U87i EQ Profile for Serrano Vintage 87
Enjoy this EQ profile that allows a Serrano Vintage 87 Mic to get EVEN CLOSER to a genuine vintage Neumann U87i from 1974. Using precise custom full range microphone test tones and Fab Filter Pro-Q 4’s unparalleled EQ-Match engine, this preset gets closer to the sound of the vintage U87i than I thought possible. The Serrano mic is already insanely close but this just gives it that last edge.
This emulation was created in 48kHz using a genuine vintage Neumann U87i and cleanest high-end equipment, such as Sound Devices Mixpre 6 II, Vermouth 2ndborn Cables, and Kali Audio full-range monitors and subwoofer.
Of course, it is impossible to 100% clone the Neumann U87i due to physical differences and variables such as the good old “poison metal transformer”, but Pro-Q 4 get’s it very close. The nearly identical mic build of the Serrano Vintage 87i, along with the nearly identical parts inside the Serrano allow this EQ profile to add the final touches to make the SA-87i virtually indistinguishable from the original. Your mileage may vary.
