Why I Didn’t Buy the Neumann U87 (I Found a Clone That Slaps)

I was ready to spend $4,000 on a Neumann U87 until I found the DA-87i by Dachman Audio — a handmade U87-style mic that sounds almost identical for just $699. If you're looking for that warm, classic vocal tone but don’t want to drop a fortune — watch this first. 🔊 Gear used in this video: DA-87i Microphone – https://www.dachmanaudio.com/pages/da...
