Insightful service. Purchase was easy & delivery was fast (with updates as to the arrival). Nice job!

An excellent mic. I have a UAD Sphere DLX which I’ve been pleased with, wanted something that doesn’t use 2 mic pres and I can use with my outboard. The i87se does this whilst managing to be a little kinder in the harsh upper mids. Highly recommended!

After testing against my Microphone locker (worth over 10K, I found this to be a great addition, low noise, very forward, well balanced and color. Did a great job on my tenor vocal,

I love this mic! Great on vocals, instruments. It will be my workhorse mic in the studio.

So back when I started my voiceover career fulltime, I built out a nice home studio and purchased a used 1982 U87i from Vintage King. Over the years I've bought and sold loads of mics, always chasing a larger-than-life tonality, not realizing at the time that in voiceover, the name of the game (for most VO categories) is a relatively neutral capture and realism. Listening back to old recordings with the Neumann 87i through an ISA 430, I've longed to get recapture that same feeling. Since my Neumann has been long gone since, and these days vintage 87s (never mind in great condition) would set me back several mortgage payments, I figured that was that. Yes, plenty of "vintage 87" clones on the market and I've tried quite a few, but plugging into the Dachman 87i gave me the feeling I've been missing all these years. It's me, but elevated. The modern U87ai is a standard in the VO world for a reason, and it's excellent, but I feel they are just a tad too "pointy" for my tastes. This Dachman has exactly the right rich, mid-forward Neumann character but be a bit more "relaxed" in the troublesome upper-mids...just like my beloved 87i from years back. This thing takes EQ beautifully. Thanks to Dachman for making top quality instruments at an unbelievable price!
