The CM67 has an ultra-smooth natural rise above 10 kHz and is a favorite for group vocals and singers who want a very detailed sound. It is also a favorite microphone for recording acoustic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdvanced Audio’s AK67 capsule is a very accurate 35mm capsule with 6-micron German mylar diaphragms. Its frequency response matches within 2 dB the response of the Neumann K47 capsule used in Neumann’s K67 tube and U87 microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe CM67 features an upgraded 6072a circuit that provides a lower output impedance with slightly more headroom than the circuit used in the original U67. In addition, it provides a faster transient response when driving the very HiFi output transformer, which is wound to the original Neumann specs. The transformer will deliver +14 dBu with less than 0.5% distortion and with a flat response down to 20 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Advanced Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451166879847,"sku":"466586","price":759.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/advanced-cm67se_141359_1.jpg?v=1787096104"}],"url":"https:\/\/vintageking1.myshopify.com\/collections\/advanced-audio.oembed","provider":"VINTAGE KING AUDIO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
