The Serrano Vintage 87 has been slightly updated for 2025. The new update is a refined layout of the components in the circuit to further decrease the microphone’s self-noise. This change does not alter the sound or the choice of components, but simply optimizes the existing design. While previous versions of the Serrano Vintage 87 are already low in self-noise, we were able to make this subtle improvement.​​​

Genuine-CLASS capsule
second to NONE
The Serrano Vintage 87 capsule expresses nothing short of that magic "wow" sound quality that can only be found in a genuine K87 capsule. Each capsule in the Serrano Vintage 87 is an exact K87 replica of the finest quality, skinned with 24k gold on top of the finest Japanese mylar. The Serrano Vintage 87 capsule offers exquisite tonal richness and harmonic depth that truly matches the same sound quality of a genuine K87. You will surely hear its spectacular sound!
The Serrano Vintage 87s circuit is an uncompromising 1:1 replica circuit of the vintage Neumann 87i. This is true all the way down from the material of individual components to the 2N3819 FET amplifier - properly biased to original specifications. No compromises have been made.​
