{"product_id":"universal-audio-mic-ua187","title":"Universal Audio Bock 187 FET Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Universal Audio Bock 187 is a large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern, designed by David Bock and built by hand at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California. It starts from the classic U87 and adds a larger Cinemag output transformer and refined Class A FET circuitry, which give it more low-frequency headroom and a more natural sound on vocals and guitars. It runs on standard 48 V phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFat Mode, Low Cut and Pad\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mode switch picks Normal, a nominally flat response with a slight lift at the top, or Fat, which adds a low-end boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz and drops the high lift. Fat mode adds weight to thin sources and higher vocals, and it keeps the low end when a singer stands back from the mic. The 120 Hz low cut controls rumble, and the -10 dB pad uses a voltage divider circuit for drums, guitar amps and other loud sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-diaphragm FET condenser, handmade at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed cardioid pattern, side address\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass A FET circuitry with a large Cinemag output transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-diaphragm K67-type capsule with dual symmetrical backplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFat mode adds a low-end boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e120 Hz low cut and -10 dB pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApollo Channel Strip presets available through UA Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large-diaphragm FET condenser, side address\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" dual-diaphragm K67 type, dual symmetrical backplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz to 16 kHz, ±2 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e -42 dB (8 mV) re 1 V at 1 Pa, 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125 dB SPL at 1% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 ohms (recommended load above 2 kohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pad (-10 dB), Mode (Fat, Normal), Low cut (120 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhantom power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V DC, 0.5 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-pin XLR male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.7\" (195 mm) long, 2\" (50 mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 lbs (725 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 lbs (907 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUA Bock 187 microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShock mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWood storage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560000737529,"sku":"MIC-UA187","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/ua-bock-187-front.jpg?v=1792173946","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/universal-audio-mic-ua187","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
