67 Style Capsule (SONY C800G / Chandler REDD)

[distorter]

Hello guys, could you recommend a good company that makes 67-style capsules? Capsules used in SONY C800G and Chandler REDD Mic are really good sounding to me. Does anyone know which 67-style capsules are they sourced from?

Thanks!

Neumann sure makes a good K67 capsule!

They use k87 capsule for u67 now, and the quality control is not good.

Join the two backplates and K87 = K67.
As for QC, the only way to be 100% sure is DIY!

Do you know how can I use my vintage k87 capsule on my modern U67?

 

[mad.ax]

Easy, as I said, just connect electrically the two backplate wires together

I haven’t noticed any QC or performance issues with modern Neumann K67/K87 capsules

That’s incorrect. U67 use k670 as do U87A.

Can you elaborate on that claim? I mean that Neumann's QC is not good. My experience is totally opposite.

I did. My old TLM 67’s capsule sounds much better than my U67 RI’s capsule

My old TLM 67’s capsule sounds much better than my U67 RI’s capsule. All my U87 ai’s capsules sound a little bit different.

Not the same capsule as the one used on the vintage U67

In that case you should write email to the Neumann support. They take care about it and I'm sure they will do their best to help their customer who owns so many microphones with the Neumann badge.

I might also suggest that a comparison between two capsules isn’t quite enough data to establish a trend

I just sold my U67 RI, as I don’t like the sound of it anyway

Yes, just my own experience.

You said a k87 is being used. That is what I responded to.

In fact a k87 is what was used in the vintage models of U87.

Just do some reading on this rather than keep replying.

The current U67 capsule has differences in comparison vintage, and there have in fact been several revisions, but I am just politely correcting your earlier mistaken claim that k87 are used in modern U67RI.

Ok, k870 was used in modern U67 ai

I’ll take that under advisement.
