Neumann U67 Reissue

What is a blog for if you aren’t going to share cool moments? I normally do not do unboxings because I don’t like them and I don’t see any value in them but this was a huge moment for me and I wanted to document it and share it.

When I first started my youtube channel Podcastage, I struggled to buy every single mic I reviews. A $20 mic was a stretch. After 5 years of consistent uploading, nearly 500 videos, and an amount of money I do not want to calculate spent on gear to review, I was finally able to get one of the top tier holy grail microphones. The Neumann U67 Reissue.

This is the sequel to the U47 following the announcement that Telefunken would stop manufacturing the VF 14 M metal tube. There is a really fascinating post about the history of the U67 on Coutant here if you want to know more: http://www.coutant.org/u67/.

I’ll be recording a lot of music with this on the bandrewplays youtube channel (if I can keep up the weekly release over there), and I will be putting it on the mic stand for the Bandrew Says Podcast once the AEA KU5a comes down in one month.
