Some ppl call the U87 the industry standard, it may have been the industry standard some years ago, and by that i mean decades, however my theory is that a lot of ppl want/own one because they have seen it in lots of studios, and because its the typical mic one relates with the picture of a singer in a recording studio.
The U87 is a very good mic, however to me its sound is very outdated, at least for vocals in pop albums, you are going to see it a lot in the broadcast industry, but i would like to know how many recent albums have been recorded with one, and although i know a few of them, the truth is that a lot of new artists have been using something else.
The U87 for me has become a mic i would use for something else other than vocals.
