i reeeeeeeeally wanted to, but my laptop screen broke over the weekend and I’m trying to formulate a plan of what to do... Well, screw it. I'll just deal with the broken laptop screen. I gotta hear this mic.  And you guys will need to hear it, too. So it's kind of a public service thing I'll be doing for everybody. |

Mine is still in transit so you will get yours before mine arrives. Nice. Looking forward to gearing your thoughts. |

Carlos told me last night it should be ready by mid-week (this week). I'll just drive right over to Chapel Hill and pick it up from him. Hopefully I can clear out some time later this week or weekend to do another shootout demo similar to the last one I did with the Soyuz 017FET and Stam 67.

I’ve got a vintage 87 and the samples on the Serrano website are super close. Can’t wait to hear what you think! |

I no longer have my vintage 87 unfortunately but I do have a pair of Beesneez BU87i C that I'd love to hear this against. |

Man, over the years this has pissed me off about soooooo many mics. I get the fact that you have to loose something to hit a price point, and I know probably 90% of the 87 in particular have never been in any pattern other than cardiod BUT with every condenser I have ever personally owned the goal has always been a versatile stereo pair. Even for just a vocal mic I’m going to flip through the patterns to find that magic, sometimes people think to much about theoretical patterns rather than reality. |

I have one on the way as well, was supposed to arrive today but didn't (not surprised). Have shifts 3/5 days this week so probably won't get to play with it till next year, but will try to post a few clips when it arrives.

Greetings everyone! Starting now, for Black Friday until Cyber Monday (Nov. 30) Serrano Audio is now offering $150 off on the Serrano 87 microphone. The coupon code is “BlackFriday” This means you can purchase the Serrano 87 for $650. Order on www.serranoaudio.comWe have a couple of reviews here www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/1320708-serrano-audio-87-a.htmlStock is limited as each one is built by hand, one at a time, in North Carolina. They will ship out in 1 week max! Happy and joyful recording! Welcome to RGO, impressive sounding mic, the best Advice I can give is to get a demo in to the hands of JK or Vincent. We all know there voices and Vincent’s wife’s well enough at this point to judge it quickly and frankly both offer a degree of vocal talent that you would be hard to beat. Actually if the mic is as good as your clips getting a Demo in the hands of the majority of the talent here is a no brainer and a great way to sell a bunch of mics. I think back to all of the multi-day mic demos I did 20 years ago at Full Compass and how LDC’s have multipled like bunnies and my head spins. These days it’s hard to establish a new brand of mics. There are just to many options and all the rebranded generic Chinese condensers with pretty paint jobs don’t make it any easier. Best of luck. As a general rule, I dislike mics with "pretty paint". Mics shouild be grey, siver, or black (or sometimes brown...). That'a not to say that there are no good mics with bright colors, just that I won't be ordering them. |

Didn’t you win a really nice mic with a pretty paint job on this site? It’s just soooo much easier to be positive than it is to be negative. Wishing you a happy and healthy ‘21, John. |

Arrived quick test to make sure it works. Lovely indeed. Now to sell all my other U87 clones. I was quite surprised at the weight of this mic. Feels very nice. Very well constructed. Better then then the 3 x Stam SA87's I have owned over the years. The Fig of 8 is quite nice and the cardioid is not too over heavy in Proximity effect. Ships with a very decent shock mount.
The mic is quiet. I like what I hear. I like very much what I hear. This mic is a keeper.  1 by BEANAT19, on Flickr |
