Is the Fuchs 87a DIY Microphone a Better u87ai?

[@MarkVO]

That's a wonderful sound. Very clear but also inviting and warm. Nice low end!

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Exactly! That’s what I love about the Fuchs 87a. It’s just all there for VO.

[@stephendverner]

Great sounding mic.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Thank you, sir!

[@Bcwilderness]

ah man love to purchase this off you, eyesight is not good enough to build it, sounds superb

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Glad you like it but it’s not for sale and I fear Fuchs may have run out of boards.

[@TheRecordist]

Gahh! Your beard! Sideburn over-buzz, yep. Done that before. Haha. That mic sounds insane! Listen to that top end sizzle! I can hear the iron, man! Great video!

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Right. Usually the transformer is like, “Feel me, don’t see me.” And this UTM 5087 is like, “DADDY’S HOME!”

[@TheRecordist]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff hahahaha!

[@JothanGurr]

Sounds surprisingly like a Neumann to me with my studio headphones on. I'm impressed

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

The headbasket being the right size makes so much difference here in achieving that tone.

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff Thanks for demystifying the components that go into a great microphone for us less technically savvy folks

[@JeffStewartAuthor]

Nice mic, young man!

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Us kids in the younger generation appreciate your support.

Where did u get the kit

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

It’s actually not a kit. You can find the Fuchs guy who made the boards here and follow the rabbit hole all the way down. groupdiy.com/threads/pcbs-for-u87-revision-a-in-bm800-microphone-donor-body.78373/

Hey! Do u know about BeiFeiLi V7? Is it similar with V5?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Different capsule. Different sound. Probably somewhere in between v10 and v47.

[@twelvveblade2087]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff ty, then, i would buy v5

[@lyonmuzik33]

where can i get this pcb?

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

There’s a link in the description.

[@bryangman1975]

Can you make a board for this one. People can get the vintage board ever where. Or just make a voltage board​ that would be thebest.@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

@@bryangman1975 Unfortunately, I am not a PCB designer. I'd like to learn how to someday, but that's going to be a while, but there are others who are doing it over at groupdiy

[@bryangman1975]

@@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff I know I tried the old thread voltage board didn't quite work on the u87i. Oh well spent about 25 dollars and I had some of the parts already.
