Our take on the CM87

The CM87 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone built around dual diaphragms, which is what lets it switch among several pickup patterns. That flexibility makes it a single mic that can cover vocals, acoustic instruments and room or ensemble capture. It is a studio-first design; condensers are more sensitive and more fragile than the dynamic mics often used on loud stages, so live use calls for care. Against rivals in its class, the pattern switching is the main draw, while its sensitivity means it rewards a treated room and a decent preamp.

Questions and answers

What is a dual-diaphragm condenser?
It is a condenser capsule with two diaphragms, one on each side. Combining them electrically is what gives the mic its several pickup patterns.
Does it need phantom power?
Yes. Condenser microphones like this one need 48V phantom power, which most audio interfaces and mixers supply.
Which pickup patterns does it offer?
The dual-diaphragm design supports multiple patterns, typically cardioid plus omni and figure-8. Check the switch positions on the mic body for the exact set.
Is it good for live shows?
It can work on stage, but condensers are sensitive and pick up stage wash and monitors. For loud bands a dynamic mic is usually the safer choice.
What comes in the box?
Expect the microphone itself; a shock mount or case depends on the bundle. Confirm the included accessories before buying.
Do I need a treated room?
It helps a lot. A sensitive condenser captures room reflections, so a quiet, soft-furnished space gives cleaner recordings.
