restored models.

The Legend

The Neumann U 67’s origins begin in the late 50s, as the successor to
Neumann’s flagship microphone, the U 47. The VF14 tube, which helped
contribute to the U 47 sound, was being withdrawn from production by
Telefunken, necessitating the creation of a new microphone.

The U 67 features a host of new technological advancements. Mylar was
used for the capsule membrane, held in tension by a brass ring as
opposed to glue; an internal cutoff filter and external pad switch
helped counteract the proximity effect; a new dual-capsule created an
accurate figure-of-eight pickup pattern; a smaller EF86 tube allowed for
a slimmer body; and most importantly the overall shape of the
microphone changed. The new iconic look featured a tapered head grille,
and a tapered body shell. So unique was this mic design, that Neumann
patented it.

Neumann originally named their new microphone the U 60, after the
year of its creation. This was later amended to the “U 67”, showing
continuity with its parent microphone, the U 47. By 1967, the
predecessor was no longer manufactured, and the successor reigned
supreme as the large diaphragm tube mic of choice for audio
professionals worldwide; a condenser mic that can be used on almost any
instrument or vocalist with outstanding results.
Matched Pairs
Each new Neumann U 67 is manufactured to within an extremely close
spec, thus negating the need for “factory matching.”
