UA Bock 187 – Where Classic Tone Meets Modern Engineering

Modern Clarity, Vintage Character

The Universal Audio Bock 187 is a FET condenser microphone designed to deliver the unmistakable character of classic studio mics – reimagined for today’s producers and engineers. Inspired by the iconic ‘87, this mic doesn’t just pay homage – it evolves the concept with superior clarity, focused cardioid pickup, and tonal shaping tools that make it suitable for almost any studio application.

Hand-built in California and developed by master designer David Bock, the Bock 187 offers the warmth and presence that engineers have relied on for decades – with none of the unpredictability vintage mics often come with.

Focused Sound with Professional Flexibility

At the heart of the Universal Audio Bock 187 lies a proprietary 1″ dual-diaphragm K67-style capsule, tuned to deliver exceptional midrange detail and rich tonal depth. Its fixed cardioid pattern ensures focused audio capture, minimizing room reflections and background noise – ideal for vocal booths, close-miking, and tracking instruments.

Want more power in your sound? The Fat Switch enhances the low-end response, adding weight to vocals, electric guitars, or drum overheads. Meanwhile, the 50 Hz rumble filter keeps your recordings clean by removing unwanted sub-frequency noise at the source.

Built for the Studio, Designed to Last

With a -10 dB pad for handling loud sources and a max SPL rating of 125 dB, the Universal Audio Bock 187 is just as comfortable with screaming amps as it is with whisper-soft vocals. Whether you’re recording a voiceover or capturing the transient attack of a snare drum, this mic responds with clarity, consistency, and character.

Each Bock 187 is meticulously built and tested in the UA Custom Shop to meet the highest standards. Housed in a classic wooden case and shipped with a quality stand mount, it’s ready to become the new studio favorite in any professional setup.
