The Neumann U 67 Set is the faithful reissue of one of the most legendary studio microphones ever created. Featuring the original K 67 large-diaphragm capsule, EF 86 tube circuitry, and BV 12 output transformer, this handcrafted tube condenser microphone delivers the iconic warm, smooth, and versatile sound that has defined countless classic recordings since 1960.
The Neumann U 67 Set marks the return of one of the most revered microphones in recording history. First introduced in 1960 as the successor to the legendary U 47, the U 67 quickly became a studio standard thanks to its exceptional versatility, refined tube sound, and innovative features. Today, Neumann faithfully recreates this iconic microphone using the original design, components, and manufacturing methods to deliver the authentic sound that engineers and artists have trusted for decades.
At the heart of the U 67 is the legendary K 67 large-diaphragm capsule, a design that became synonymous with the classic Neumann sound and later served as the foundation for the renowned U 87. Combined with carefully selected EF 86 tube electronics and the faithfully reproduced BV 12 output transformer, the U 67 produces a rich, detailed sound characterized by smooth high frequencies, natural midrange reproduction, and the subtle harmonic warmth that only a premium tube microphone can provide.
The U 67 was among the first microphones specifically designed for modern close-miking techniques. Its integrated low-frequency filter helps reduce proximity effect when recording at short distances, while the switchable sensitivity reduction allows the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 124 dB without distortion. Three selectable polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—provide outstanding flexibility across a wide range of recording applications.
The modern U 67 retains the sonic signature and appearance of the original 1960–1971 model while incorporating a redesigned NU 67 V power supply that meets current safety standards and supports both new and vintage U 67 microphones. Handmade in Germany with meticulous attention to detail, the U 67 Set is an exceptional choice for vocals, strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, and double bass recordings.
