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
