Roswell Mini K87

The Roswell Mini K87 is my runner-up pick when people ask me about a great 87-style mic. It’s cleaner with a sparkly top end and a bigger low end compared to more vintage-leaning options, and it’s a mic I’ve had great results with in real sessions.

Pros

+Clean, polished 87-style sound
+Sparkly top end with a bigger low end
+Strong alternative to pricier 87-style mics

Cons

-Less “vintage/vibey” than some character-forward 87-style mics
-Voicing may be too bright depending on the singer/source
