Yes. Sometimes.
The thing about people, is we are all different. One person might shine on a U89, and another might on a U87.
The point I was making in my previous post is : studios tend to all have U87's because they are rarely a "miss". They may or may not be the best mic for that particular person, but they will rarely sound bad on anyone like other mics might.
The U89 is the same in respect to instrument or orchestral recording. With a U89 you have a good chance of getting a good sound in this dept.
If what you're wondering without coming right out and saying is this mic ever used for vocals in pro studios? then the answer is yes. This mic is awesome and versatile, and it is an excellent choice for a vocal mic or any other application for that matter, but get ready to eq some top end on vox. The TLM 170 and th TLM 193 share the K89 capsule also, and are similar in sound to the U89.
