The U67 is a great classic sounding vocal microphone, favoured by many engineers for voice, also well-suited for use as a close mocrophone on guitar cabinets. Much used as a room mic. The Neumann U67 was launched in 1960 as the planned successor to the U47. By the time the last U47 was made in 1965, the U67 had achieved this goal. A new capsule was developed for this design. The K-67 capsule allowed for a true figure eight pattern. This enabled the U67 microphone to have three patterns instead of the previous two available on the U47. Also, a switch and compensation circuitry was incorporated to counter the proximity effect, as many singers were beginning to sing directly into their microphones. The amplifier circuit was built around the EF86 tube, at the time a more modern tube design than the war surplus VF14M or the 701. Following the long standing Neumann tradition of naming a microphone after the year that it was introduced, this microphone was originally released as the U60. But someone in marketing decided that U67 sounded closer to U47, and Neumann wanted to piggy-back on the success of the previous model.Please read the following before bidding!
