THE ORIGINAL - OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER DUPLICATED
Launched in 1960, the U 67 was the quintessential studio workhorse throughout the formative years of modern music. Today more than ever, its unmistakably smooth sound continues to be in high demand. Now, for the first time in decades, Neumann's legendary tube microphone is back in production, built to original specifications.
RETURN OF A LEGEND
Presented as the successor to the eminent Neumann U 47, a smaller microphone would have failed. But the U 67 was quickly adopted as a new studio standard, offering many advantages over its predecessor. With three selectable pole patterns and advanced tube circuits including low cut and pad switches, the Neumann U 67 was well equipped for virtually any recording task. This is still the case: to this day, many top engineers would choose the U 67 as their “desert island” microphone for its extraordinary versatility and unmatched sound quality.
NEUMANN ENGINEERING AT ITS BEST
The U 67 was the first microphone equipped with the famous K 67 capsule, which has since been associated with the 'Neumann sound' and continues to be used in its successor, the U 87 A. The masterful tube circuit of the U 67 does is no less important. featuring an intelligent pre-emphasis / de-emphasis system to minimize tube hissing. The U 67 was also the first microphone to tackle modern recording techniques such as close-range pickup. Its switchable low-cut filter compensates for the proximity effect occurring at short recording distances. Thanks to its pre-attenuation, the U 67 can handle high sound pressure levels of up to 124 dB without distortion (and much more if you don't mind a bit of "tube grit").
