Sphere LD-87 TK by Townsend Labs published on 2018-05-21T14:07:36Z All recordings feature the LD-87 TK microphone model for the Sphere plug-in and were recorded with the L22 high-precision, dual-diaphraghm condenser microphone by Townsend Labs. No compression, EQ or further processing has been applied. The 87 was brought to market as a replacement for the 67, even though it sounds quite different and moved from a tube based circuit to a solid state FET circuit. Like the 67, it employs a center-terminated, dual backplate, dual diaphragm capsule. While some prefer the sound of the 67, the 87 can work beautifully in many cases and has become an industry standard all of its own. It’s become the go-to vocal microphone for broadcast, film, and television. Our standard LD-87 model is based on a mid-1970s version with a split backplate capsule sounding slightly different than a modern 87. Marvin Gaye’s vocals were captured with an 87 for the timeless song "What’s Going On". 87s were also used to record electric guitars, drum overheads and vocals on AC/DC/s classic “Back in Black” album, as well as Mick Jagger’s vocals on “Start Me Up”. The LD-87 TK model, new in Sphere V1.2, is based on an 87 modified by Tracy Korby of the former Korby Audio Technology company. The modification extends the 87's response at both the low-end and high-end giving it a more modern sound but without accentuating sibilance. Some might argue it's what an 87 should have sounded like from the beginning. Both versions of the 87 are extremely versatile multi-pattern condensers with omni, caridoid, and figure-of-8 polar patterns.
