Whats in a name? Since it was first introduced the U 67 has had a place in the heart of many legendary engineers producers and studios. Whether youre in Abbey Road or Sunset Sound you can guarantee theyll be some form of U 67 lying around. Theres a good chance that when you listen to any record from the 60s or 70s that a U67 will be involved. It is a go-to choice for many inspirational figures such as Al Schmitt Phill Brown Steve Albini and Jacquire King. The finest components Inspired by the EF86 pentode tube that exists within the KM56 the U 67 boasts an all new K 67 capsule and transformer-balanced tube circuit. The perfect blend between heritage and technical innovation the U 67 features all new modern components that help to significantly improve the tube microphones sonic qualities and operation. Which polar pattern should I use? Boasting three polar patterns the U 67 is a real work-horse; Cardioid is excellent for delivering a tight-focused sound whilst providing excellent off-axis rejection of around -6dB of unwanted noise and ambience. This is a great polar pattern to rely on when recording live performances either on-stage or in-the-studio. Fig. 8 picks up sound from the front and the back of the capsule whilst rejecting all sound coming from the side. This pattern has been a go-to trick for many producers recording two background vocals. When paired with another fig.8 microphone and carefully positioned it can also work wonders on capturing vocals and guitar from a single performer simultaneously. However beware. Utilising this positioning enhances close proximity effect which can lead to an unnatural amount of low-end being reproduced by the microphone. Theres good reason why many radio broadcasters opt for this pattern! When you want to capture natural recordings it doesnt get much better than omni. Omnidirectional means that sound is picked up by the capsule within a 360 degree radius. Selecting this pattern allows you to get up-close on sources without the risk of proximity effect being introduced. This is a favoured pattern for many Grammy award winning engineers and producers when recording multiple string and brass players. It can also make the “Levee Break” when heavily compressed and used for drum room microphones! Think about it Theres a whole host of premium large diaphragm condensers available on the market today and theres lots of 67 style emulations. However theres only one U 67.
