There is a company in the country of France that calls itself MicandMod. They are run by a person who goes by the name Yannick and Yankimusic on the forums. I am taking the space and the time to debunk this groups offerings because they are plagiarizing cads. They have taken other peoples recent designs and offerings and subcontracted copies and offered them up as their own without even so much as an acknowledgement. I would ask that you actively boycott this company. If you need further confirmation you can go to again my favorite haunt groupdiy.com and do a search you will see this persons behavior led to being banned from the forum. Which believe me is a painful thing for the moderators, as it is a really fair place. This is also a departure for me. As opinionated as I can be in conversations with people I have relationships with. I never vent in public forums or on line without extreme care tempered by extreme conviction. In this case I feel morally obligated to ask for your support in this boycott.
![]() So the latest in the mic copy saga is a note-for-note U67 build. This was an interesting one for me as I have never used a U67 in my life. I was building mics and everyone who heard them always said ever thought about building a U67 copy. So I finally did. The high impedance part of this build is what one might call "challenging"! Credits: The body was sourced from Chunger at store.studio939.com. The internals such as PCB and transformer are Austrian from Max Kircher, AKA IOaudio. The capsule is Australian from BeesNeez Microphones a K6. The PSU PCB is Canadian from Dany Bouchard AKA poctop on the forums at vintagemicrophonepcbkit.com. The tube is a genuine NOS Telefunken EF86. How does it sound you say? Really good warm with a smooth top, also very low self noise for a tube mic. The Beesneez K6 capsule is really nice, beefy with out being forward the low end is fat for when you want that, but tightens up very nicely when the mics highpass filter is engaged and this one sounds, to my ears, that both sides are identical in tone and timbre. Rare if you ask me most dual capsules are ever so slightly different. Again a lot of reference material at GROUPDIY.COM |
