I was on the hunt for a killer vocal mic without breaking the bank and stumbled upon the Dachman 87i after some YouTube deep dives. It sounded just like the pricey Neumann 87, so I took the plunge. Wow, this mic blew me away! It was so good, I ended up retiring my old gold diaphragm mic. The sound is just out of this world. But, the box it came in? Not great. The bottom was warped. I shot them an email with pics, not expecting much, but they totally stepped up and replaced it. Their awesome customer service even convinced me to snag the 87SE for our sax player. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience!
