Studying sound engineering. Any help?

point one of them at your face and put the other one back in the closet. that's all i got. these questions are way above my paygrade. also, this info should be forgotten immediately after submitting your report. it has no real world value.

i've never even seen a U87 in person. i'll leave now.
 
it has no real world value.

You know it, I know it, City&Guilds don't. They also want frequency response
charts, on-axis and off axis.

That ain't happenin'. Hell, I don't even think they exist.
 
maybe this will help. it's a little something i threw together when i was still studying sound engineering:

An essay on the polar pattern of a U87 between omni, cardioid, and figure 8​

I shall now enrich your life by sharing with you about the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8. At first glance the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. While it is becoming a hot topic for debate, its influence on western cinema has not been given proper recognition. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to the easily lead, whom I can say no more about due to legal restrictions. Though I would rather be in bed I will now examine the primary causes of the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8.

Social Factors

Society begins and ends with the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8. The immortal and indispensable phrase ‘honesty is the best policy’ [1] borrowed much from the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8. Both tyranny and democracy are tried and questioned. Yet the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 helps to provide some sort of equilibrium in this world of ever changing, always yearning chaos.

Primarily the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 builds trust among the people. To put it simply, people like the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8.

Economic Factors

Economics has been defined as 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.' To my learned ear that sounds like two people with itchy backs. We shall examine the Fish-Out-Of-Water model. For those of you unfamiliar with this model it is derived from the Three-Amigos model but with greater emphasis on the outlying gross national product.
Oil
Prices

the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8

The results displayed in the graph are too clear to be ignored. It goes with out saying that oil prices, ultimately decided by politicians, will always be heavily influenced by the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 due to its consistently high profile in the portfolio of investors. Perhaps to coin a phrase the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8economics will be the buzz word of the century

Political Factors

No man is an island, but what of politics? Comparing the ideals of the young with the reality felt by their elders is like contrasting the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8ilisation, as it's become known, and one's own sense of morality.

In the words of the famous political Aaron Shandy 'You can lead a horse to water, big deal.' [2] This clearly illustrates the primary concern of those involved with the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8. Both spectacular failure and unequaled political accomplishment may be accredited to the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8.
One thing's certain. The Human species liberally desires the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8, and what's more human than politics?

Conclusion

In conclusion, the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's still important. It brings peace, applauds greatness, though the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8 brings with it obvious difficulties, it is truly the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8.

Here with the final word is Hollywood's Beyonce Hendrix: 'I wouldn't be where I am today without the polar pattern between omni, cardioid, and figure of 8.' [3]

I will enrich now your life with the distribution with you for the polar drawing between omni, [kardiodis], and number 8. Firstly you look at the polar drawing between omni, [kardiodoys], and the number of 8 May it appears unenchanting, nevertheless her study it is a need for anyone that it wishes it mentally promotes beyond their children's age.

Well that was a waste of time.

Anybody have any real info?

Although I found this hilarious.
 
get in touch with harvey gerst. he's the only one that i am aware of that'll be able to help you with this one. i think dokstawl ran him off though,.

Thanks Ez.

I'm beginning to hate this stawl guy :mad:
 
Right, got my answer. For anyone who's interested:

The u87 is a dual-diaphragm microphone. Porting, via perforations in the backplate, is used to give each side of the capsule a cardioid response so in essence the capsule is similar a pair of back-to-back cardioid mics occupying virtually the same point in space.

When the u87 is switched to cardioid, only the front diaphragm is polarised, while the other produces no output, resulting in a cardioid pattern. Varying the diaphragm's voltage is a simple way of controlling its sensitivity, and reversing the voltage also reverses the phase of its output.

When the u87 is set to omnidirectional, both capsules are polarised with the same voltage. The outputs combine to form an omni response, which is the result of having opposing cardioids electrically in phase with each other.

When the u87 is set to bidirectional, both capsules are polarised, however the voltage of the back diaphragm is reversed. This reverses the phase of the back diaphragm, creating a figure of 8 pattern.
