Neumann U 67 Studio Tube Microphone Set

The Definitive Studio Workhorse

The Neumann U 67 Set is the authentic reproduction of the most iconic large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone in recording history. Built meticulously to original 1960 factory specifications, the U 67 delivers an inimitably smooth frequency response, golden-era harmonic richness, and unmatched versatility across any sound source. Designed for world-class recording engineers, music producers, and professional vocalists, this legendary microphone brings historic Neumann warmth, authority, and mix-ready presence directly to your studio setup.

Timeless Tube Warmth with Unrivalled Clarity
At the heart of the Neumann U 67 lies a hand-selected EF86 pentode vacuum tube operating alongside a custom pre-emphasis and de-emphasis feedback circuit. This sophisticated electronic design minimises inherent tube noise while adding subtle, high-headroom harmonic compression. The result is a lush, three-dimensional audio character that flatters vocalists and acoustic instruments without introducing unwanted sibilance or high-frequency harshness.

Iconic K 67 Dual-Diaphragm Capsule Design
Engineered with two individually tuned gold-sputtered membranes mounted back-to-back, the original K 67 capsule provides exemplary linear response and phase stability across three selectable polar patterns. This double-membrane system allows instant switching between cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 directional characteristics directly on the microphone body, offering exceptional acoustic flexibility for close vocal tracking, room ambience, or M/S stereo arrays.

Custom BV 12 Transformer and High-SPL Headroom
The meticulously recreated BV 12 output transformer provides authoritative low-end weight and smooth midrange density, enabling recorded tracks to sit effortlessly in a mix without aggressive corrective equalization. Combined with a switchable -10 dB pre-attenuation pad and a low-cut filter, the U 67 effortlessly manages extreme sound pressure levels up to 124 dB, ensuring pristine capture of screaming guitar cabs, brass sections, and dynamic drum overheads.
