Clear instructions FTW
This somewhat complex build was made much easier thanks to the very clear step by step instructions. I've got another great sounding mic to add to my locker.

They (I brought two) came together nicely. I haven’t had a chance to use them. I can’t wait!

I have built two microphone kits now. Both have well made parts and high quality parts. The assembly directions are well thought out and easy to use. It helps if you have had experience soldering. The finished product is something that will last.

Thanks a lot! Everything is very good! I tested with the original U67 mic, your U87 mic capsule sounds almost the same as the U67 mic! I wish you success and creative inspiration! Best regards, Fedor Puzikov.

Even though got sent more expensive pair they were not as good as some cheaper ones I had already got. Also description said that they were CK12 copies which they are not. Tested each capsule and one was 94pf and the other 48pf, so way off. Was told that they had isolated backplates but not the case either. I wouldn't buy from again.
Response from Dachman AudioJan 31, 2022
Spencer, I'm sorry that the capsules did not meet your expectations. While we certainly did not intend to mislead, we are going to update the website description to provide clarity about the capsule vs the original, vintage CK12. As far as the isolated backplates, we test every capsule before it ships and have gone ahead and retested the entire batch of DA-CK12 capsules and they all have been confirmed to have isolated backplates. Regardless, we never want to leave a customer dissatisfied. I believe we had already offered for you to return the capsules for a full refund so long as they aren't physically damaged. Please let us know if you'd like to do that. Thank you for providing your candid feedback.

The Dachman 87i is GREAT! The sound of the mic is terrific. It sounds smooth and warm, clean and clear. I'll be recording with it for years to come. The build is extremely solid and a very near match to my Neumann U87ai. Great fun to build, with clear instructions. I did end up contacting Dachman a couple of times with questions, and received extremely prompt, accurate, and super-helpful responses to all of my questions, resulting is a really great mic that will last the test of time and be a great addition to my mic locker. Well done, Dachman!

I purchased a microphone kit for my son who is studying audio engineering in college. He had a class on building electronic components and has better than average soldering skills. The kit took some time to complete over a few days. Instructions were excellent. A few steps were a bit difficult and required a second set of hands to complete. He had a lot of fun completing the kit and the resulting microphone sounds amazing! This is not something for a novice. I would definitely recommend it to someone who enjoys DIY and loves high quality audio gear. Dachman customer service is the best I've seen anywhere. I was trying to get this by Christmas and they worked with me to get it in time. After the microphone was built, my son had some technical questions. Dachman responded extremely quickly with answers that were extremely helpful and solved all his issues.
