great mic great mic, but didn't get the shockmount -Update: The company responded the day I posted this review and sent me the shockmount, good service!

Great microphone. I pre-ordered a DA 87i a few months ago without really knowing what I was buying except from a few positive reviews. I must say the company kept me informed of the shipment process which I really appreciated. After a few weeks of heavy usage the microphone is great, seems to be well built and I must admit has an amazing sound. Personally I wouldn't hesitate to buy more microphones from them.

Easy to order Easy to order. Microphone packaging was good looking and protective. Mic sounds great! Very happy with this purchase.

A great microphone for recording brass instruments. I’m super enthusiastic about my new Dachman microphone. The first time I used it was for a video recording of the first of Johannes Brahms 4 Ernstige Gesänge. The microphone made it possible to use my live dynamic range on my bass trombone in my playing. The sound is very natural, full with harmonics and making my instrument sound very vocal. If you google Ben van Dijk plays Brahms you will find my recording.

A brilliant microphone. Buy it! I’m so happy I bought this mic. It really is tantamount to having the original model in your studio for a fraction of the price. Very characterful, but you can tone down those characteristics very easily because it seems to grab every frequency in the spectrum so you have great control in the EQ, I love it on my voice. The voice cuts through the mix really nicely, but you can tweak any part of the frequency range and give it other qualities. Buy it!
