Neumann U-67 SET: The Ultimate Tube Microphone Bundle
Neumann has reissued the legendary U 67, a tube microphone that defined the sound of the 1960s and remains a studio staple today. Renowned for its versatility and smooth sound, the U 67 was the first microphone designed to embrace modern recording techniques, like close miking, with a switchable low-cut filter to counter proximity effect. Many professional engineers still swear by the U 67 for its outstanding sound quality. The reissued model is sonically identical to the original, crafted from 1960 to 1971, following the original design specs.
The U 67 offers three selectable polar patterns - omni-directional, cardioid, and figure-of-8 - along with advanced tube circuitry, and low-cut and pad switches, making it suitable for almost any recording task. It delivers a smooth top end with a subtle tube 'shimmer,' perfect for vocal recordings, whether male or female. Its linear response across the three polar patterns also makes it a highly versatile microphone, capable of capturing a wide range of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, drums, acoustic and electric guitar, electric bass, upright bass, and more.
