Neumann U87ai’s Bass Roll Off Switch: The Secret to Cutting Through?

I’ll admit it—I never liked the U87ai’s high-pass filter. It always felt like it thinned out my voice too much. But after running it through the right analog chain, like here with the SPL Channel One mk3, aka “The Best Channel Strip for Voice Over”, I’m finally hearing it in a whole new way. In this video, I’ll break down why the HPF switch is actually a game-changer for voice-over, how, thanks to analog, it helps cut through a mix without losing warmth, and why I’m finally loving the sound.
