I have a deep barotone voice and I'm a rapper, and this microphone catches all of the nuances of it very well. My rap name is Hayden Jamal, and I believe this microphone sounds better than my neumann 103 I had back in the days. Thanks so much

So glad I grab this mic. Sounds honest but not boring. Great to have another mic with top end that is not fighting me when I’m mixing vocals.

Over and over again I was seeing the ads. Each time I wondered if it could be as good as they claim. When one of my bandmates asked me what it would cost to rent a great mic to do vocals on the new project, I started reading and watching reviews about the U87i. I finally decided to take the plunge.
I started recording with the mic about 3 weeks ago. I don’t have an awesome mic selection, but it was enough to get us through the last project. After one use, the improvement over my other mics was apparent, and now we aren't even considering using other mics for vocals. I also have a few acoustic guitar tracks left to do, and I am excited to try this mic for them as well.
I would recommend this mic without hesitation. In the reviews and on FB comments you read people saying they hear the difference. I’m not going to promise you won't hear any difference between a vintage U87 and the Dachman reproduction, maybe you will, but to me what is important is this is a great sounding mic on its own merits. I’m glad I bought one!

I first found out about the Dachman DA87i through a YouTube video review where it was put through it’s paces, and I was immediately impressed! I looked at many other mics and listened to many audio samples over the last year or so, and the Dachman was always at the top of my mind especially for the price, it just has that special ‘something’

So I decided to pull the trigger and it was shipped in 3 working days to Melbourne Australia!, that is insanely fast!

A BIG thanks to Josh for his incredible customer service in addressing a problem I had, the mic had minor superficial damage but works perfectly; still looks good and sounds great!. We contacted Dachman and Josh responded offering me a few options, one of which was he would send me a DA87se for free and I could still keep the DA87i as well!, an offer I couldn't say no to! - what an amazingly generous gesture from Josh to make things right!

NOTE: I recently received the DA87se in Vintage cream which looks and sounds fantastic!

Now, I can’t compare an original U87i to the DA87i as I have never used one, but based on it’s own merits and for my voice-over use case from my well treated home made booth - it’s brilliant!. It has that mid-forward push, well represented lows but not exaggerated and controlled smooth highs that tame sibilance, a well balanced warm clear and full bodied sound with a splash of saturation absolutely perfect for voice over applications and sounds close to finished right out of the gate with minimal eq needed, although it does handle eq very well – one of the marks of a high quality microphone.

If you’re in the market for a mic in this price range, this simply has to be a serious consideration, the value definitely favors the buyer and with Josh taking care of you, there’s honestly nothing to lose!

Very impressive sound indeed.
