Description
Step into the golden era of music with the Neumann U67, a faithful recreation of the iconic tube condenser microphone that defined the sound of the 1960s. Crafted meticulously in Germany, this reissue delivers the same silky smooth character, exceptional versatility, and stellar performance that made the original a studio workhorse for over a decade.
The U67 comes armed with three selectable polar patterns for maximum flexibility. You can easily capture intimate vocals or distant room mics with a simple turn of a dial. The cardioid setting is perfect for focused recording of single instruments or vocals, while the omnidirectional pattern picks up sound evenly from all directions, making it ideal for ambient room mics.
Neumann has painstakingly recreated the U67 using archived documentation and new-old stock components, matching the original's specifications. A redesigned power supply meets modern safety standards while delivering the same sonic performance. Don't let the vintage style of the U67 fool you; it's a thoroughly modern mic ready for any recording challenge with a maximum SPL of 124dB.
From the nickel-plated brass body to the vintage-style suspension mount, every aspect of this microphone exudes premium quality and attention to detail. The Neumann U67 reissue offers an excellent blend of vintage character and modern performance, making it an enviable addition to any home or project studio.

In this article Rob Laakso, Kurt Vile's bandmate and engineer on the album B'lieve I'm Goin Down..., tells about some equipment used in the making of the record:
He takes the recording of Vile’s resonator on “All in a Daze Work” as an example. “We used a Neumann U 67 on it, and there was another condenser on his vocal—maybe a [Neumann] 47 or a 48. I was just going through the instrumentals for the record, and it’s kind of funny. There’s a lot of bleed in my so-called microphone mix on that song, but those two mics give it that sound.
"Mic-wise, when it came to recording Alex Turner’s vocals (and the backing vocals sung by Matt Helders), Abbiss moved between a Shure SM7 and a Neumann U67 and U87. “If Alex was doing a vocal live, we used the SM7, ‘cause it’s really good at rejecting spill from anything else. The U67 they’ve got there is good and middly sounding. Matt never did his BVs as part of the live takes, he concentrated on his drumming. The 87 was there for the BVs.”- Jim Abbiss, producer of "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor".
Freddie's piano was miked with two Neumann U67s and we also set up a Shure mic for his guide vocal. He didn't sing all the way through the backing track takes, just the first couple of words of each line as a reference for the band.
This comes from a Sound on Sound article from 1995, where producer and engineer of "Bohemian Rhapsody" talk about how this song was recorded.
Used on Anthem of the Peaceful Army, as stated by mix engineer Al Sutton in this January 2019 Sound on Sound interview.
"With regards to electric guitars, we usually had several amps set up, like an AC30 and a Marshall, or Marshall clone, and I tended to have a U67 on one and a U87 on the other cabinet, placed straight on the centre of the speaker. Sometimes I'd use a Sony C37 or a Shure SM57. All the guitar mics also went through the API desk, but I sent the bass through the Acme Audio MTP-66 pre and DI."
Used for an overdub of a table on Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording), as stated by recording engineer Derik Lee in this September 2016 Sound On Sound interview.
“Other drum microphones were Sennheiser 421s on three of the toms and a Neumann FET 47 on the fourth, and I had a Neumann KM84 each on the hi-hat, the ride, and as left and right room mics. I recorded the percussionist with four AKG C451s, a Shure SM57, a Sennheiser 421, and a Neumann FET 47. I also had a Neve 33609 [compressor] on the LCR overheads. Oh, and Ahmir ‘?uestlove’ Thompson did an overdub, playing a table, which I recorded with a Neumann U67.
In the Sound on Sound article "Bruce Swedien: Recording Michael Jackson," it's noted that a Neumann U67 microphone was used during the recording sessions for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."
Originally I really liked the sound of Neumann U67, and there were times when I thought it would be better to have it, but isn't it difficult to maintain? The condition of the studio U67 is also different. But I also have a throat condition, so I want to record songs in my studio. So, after trying various U67 replicas, Peluso was the one that matched the voice best. Sometimes I use Neumann U87Ai to record strong mids, but recently I rent U67 or record with Peluso.
In the "Jon Bellion - The Making Of Kingdom Come (Behind The Scenes)" video by Visionary Music Group, Jon Bellion is seen using the Neumann U67 microphone. At approximately the 4:10 timestamp, the microphone is clearly visible from multiple angles.
At 2:19 and on the cover of "We Are The World 25 for Haiti," Levine can be seen using a U67
Used for the bass on Because of the Times, as stated in this July 1, 2007 Mix Online interview with producer Ethan Johns.
Johns used the modified Trident to track and mix. He recorded to a Studer 24-track aligned at +6 for 499 running at 30 ips, and mixed to a Studer 2-track. He went with Helios mic pre's and Fairchild compression for the guitars, EMI mic pre's for the drums and Universal Audio 610 pre's for the bass mic (a Neumann U67) and the vocals.
