BeesNeez B87i C - This is a premium U87i style microphone. This microphone is cardioid only. The Beesneez B87i C is one of the top professional U87 clones in the world. I compared it directly with a real U87, and there is almost no difference - you won't notice the difference even when using it for pickup during recording. This is not a cheap mass-produced product or a project kit clone. While many clone manufacturers like Warm Audio use mass-produced Chinese capsules and third-party parts, BeesNeez manufactures the most important parts, the capsule, circuit, and transformer, in-house in Australia. The microphone is like new, with no scratches, stains, or signs of use. There are no problems such as noise or defects. I am selling it because I have too many microphones.
