Key Features
The Universal Audio Bock 187 FET Condenser Microphone bases its design around one of the most iconic microphones ever created, regarded for its unique tonal character and sonic clarity. This u87-style microphone utilises minimalist Class-A FET circuitry coupled with a large Cinemag output transformer to deliver a powerful low-end response with huge headroom. Whilst primarily designed to replicate the classic mic design, the 187 has been enhanced sonically by microphone designer David Bock for superior acoustic performance.

The UA Bock 187 FET Condenser Microphone is designed to provide your studio with the timeless sound of the legendary U87 microphone, while incorporating modern sonic enhancements. Handcrafted in Santa Cruz, California by renowned mic designer David Bock, this microphone offers exceptional quality and attention to detail.
Inspired by his years of experience as the chief technical engineer of top recording studios, David Bock has created the UA Bock 187 to capture the "golden unit" tone of the iconic U87. With meticulous craftsmanship at UA's Custom Shop, this microphone delivers the same presence and character that has made the U87 a staple in the music industry.
While the U87 is celebrated for its presence, it can sometimes become strident when pushed. The UA Bock 187 takes the classic design a step further by incorporating a larger transformer, refined circuitry, and a unique "fat" mode. This mode provides an additional boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz, resulting in enhanced dynamic range, presence, and fullness.
With its exceptional sound quality and versatile features, the UA Bock 187 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you're recording vocals, guitars, or any other instrument, this microphone will capture the nuances and details of your performance with clarity and precision.
