Neumann U87i EQ Profile for Stam SA-87i
Enjoy this EQ profile that allows the Stam Audio SA-87i Mic to get the closest ever to the 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 without it.
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. Then the data points were manually copied over — EQ-point-by-EQ-point — to Ozone 11 EQ.
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’s EQ-Match Engine get’s it the closest I’ve ever heard. Your mileage may vary. This version is made for the free iZotope Ozone 11 EQ.
If nothing else, it’s an excellent starting point for mic matching.
