The Stam Audio SA-87T is a very special and coveted boutique recreation, designed to capture the exact sound of the 1970s Neumann U-87 (the coveted vintage era with its original circuitry and transformer), but with one exceptional twist: it incorporates a tube into its circuitry.
Stam Audio designed this model by combining the legendary U-87 capsule with the tube topology of the classic Neumann system, offering the definition and midrange of the traditional 87, but with the harmonic warmth and natural compression that only a tube can provide.
It uses an exact replica of the classic K87 capsule (commonly found in ultra-luxury brands like Heisermann), key to maintaining that focused and present midrange that defines the 87.
