The M7 was made famous in microphones such as the Neumann M49 and U47, the Gefell CMV563, and many others since.

They manufacture the head grilles, bodies, bases, capsules, diaphragms, transformers, etc. The Tribute 1 body tube is turned from a food grade bore brass casing. BeesNeez chose this particular type of brass due to its superior machine ability and durability. After machining the body, it is sent to a local powder coater for completion. The head grille is cut from bronze cast and machined to a mirror finish. The mesh windows are then removed during the same process before the head grille is sent off for medical-grade nickel plating. The base is made from 380 grade brass. It’s a solid brass round that they cut and form in BeesNeez' very own 8-axis turning center. The BeesNeez proprietary swivel mount connector features a gold-pinned Bakelite socket. BeesNeez pins are turned rather than pressed.

This microphone has a slightly larger body size to the first version released by BeesNeez. In this second edition of this amazing microphone, they have introduced an Old and New switch. This new switch allows for Old and New voicing for both 67 and 269 modes. In the Old mode, the voicing will sound like the version 1 of the B67 (like the original U67 or M269).  When the New mode is switched and the microphone is set to 67, more air will be introduced as well as a gentle rise in the high mids.  When the New mode is switched and mic is set to 269, more air and a boost in the lower mids are introduced. This new mode means that the B67\/269 now has 4 voices and will make its way to being perhaps the most versatile tool in your mic locker. There are 3 main areas of any microphone that give it character: the capsule, the circuitry, and the impedance conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTHE CAPSULE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBeesNeez K6 capsule has been made in-house by their team for over 15 years and has been supplied to third-party manufacturers and also used in models of BeesNeez own microphones (The Mahalia, The Shelise and The Isobel). This capsule is a recreation of the very same capsule that was in the Neumann U67, which is known as the K67. In this application, the capsule represents more than 80% of the overall sound.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTHE TUBE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe tube used in the U67 microphone is the EF86. This tube is well-known for its low noise and pleasant amplification at audio frequencies. In fact, it was one of the very few tubes that was designed specifically for audio frequencies rather than the more generic wider frequency ranged medium and sharp cut off pentodes and general use triodes that have been made by the millions and many of which are used by microphone manufacturers today. The BeesNeez team has spent decades searching for and researching tubes for microphones. The benefits of this can be heard across the entire range. For this particular model, they really have made an exciting find.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE TRANSFORMER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDue to the enormous success of the B87i C microphone – largely stemming from its huge toroidal transformer, BeesNeez decided to use this form factor also in the B67-269. The benefits of this transformer type are numerous ensuring excellent impedance conversion and perfect common mode rejection in signal balancing. The original U67 used a BV12 UI30 core transformer. This original transformer had a third winding that was used in a negative feedback filter network to assist in the overall sound sculpting. Most clone manufacturers omit this tertiary winding (due to its complexity) and opt for a simple circuit. To make a truly accurate clone microphone, they use this tertiary winding in the same way it was initially used. This winding is a huge part of the overall sound of the Neumann U67.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eTHE CIRCUIT\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn many microphones, the circuit represents merely a few percentage points. This, to some extent, is also true in the U67. However, this circuit, unlike many others, does direct the audio flow into various feedback and filter componentry and, even though the sonic footprint of the circuit is negligible, the overall implementation is critical to the finished sonics of the U67. The circuit is true to form, and all filters\/feedback are in place. For the more critical user, the circuit also has the following switching: Broadcast filter, High pass filter and Pad. The B67-269 is also a multipattern microphone with 9 available patterns from Omni through to Cardioid and Figure 8.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCompared to other models, there are relatively few U67 clone microphones available today. It has been said that this is due to similar microphones still being currently produced. However, it is more likely due to the complexity of the circuit and sound of the venerable U67. It should be noted that if any part of the original circuit is omitted, then the overall result cannot be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBeesNeez are so pleased to be able to offer this great microphone to the market and look forward to the many fine recordings that will be made.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eWHAT’S INCLUDED:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez B67-269 Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Producer Series Shock Mount\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Producer Series Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BeesNeez Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451026927719,"sku":"211364","price":1679.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/beesneez-b67-269-v2-large-diaphragm-tube-condenser-microphone-24_211364_1.jpg?v=1787095532"},{"product_id":"beesneez-b87i-multipattern-condenser-microphone","title":"BeesNeez B87i Multipattern Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBeesNeez B87i\u003c\/strong\u003e is a multipattern, phantom-powered microphone that has been created as a homage to the venerable original 1960’s era U87 microphone.

The original U87 was manufactured between the years of 1967 and 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNoise is always an important consideration in a microphone. To keep self-noise to a minimum, all switching is internal to the microphones structure. This fantastic and novel approach has allowed the self-noise of our B87i to have a 3dB improvement over the classic.

They wind a strip wound Mu Toroid transformer that affords high permeability to reach low frequencies with ease, as well as achieve super smooth highs that are airy, but never strident. The original U87 used a UI Mu Core with a ratio of 9.5:1, whereas nearly all of the clones made today use a 13:1 or 14:1 ratio transformer.

They have worked very hard to create the vintage tone that is loved by so many. This microphone is no exception; it encompasses all that the 1960’s original version of the U87 was. The original U87 was manufactured between the years of 1967 and 1986.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNoise is always an important consideration in a microphone. To keep self-noise to a minimum, all switching is internal to the microphones structure. This fantastic and novel approach has allowed the self-noise of our B87i to have a 3dB improvement over the classic. Self-noise of a microphone wasn’t a big deal in the 1960’s as most tape had more self-noise than the microphone being recorded.

This microphone has a slightly larger body size to the first version released by BeesNeez. In this second edition of this amazing microphone, they have introduced an Old and New switch. This new switch allows for Old and New voicing for both 67 and 269 modes. In the Old mode, the voicing will sound like the version 1 of the B67 (like the original U67 or M269).  When the New mode is switched and the microphone is set to 67, more air will be introduced as well as a gentle rise in the high mids.  When the New mode is switched and mic is set to 269, more air and a boost in the lower mids are introduced. This new mode means that the B67\/269 now has 4 voices and will make its way to being perhaps the most versatile tool in your mic locker.

This tube is well-known for its low noise and pleasant amplification at audio frequencies. In fact, it was one of the very few tubes that was designed specifically for audio frequencies rather than the more generic wider frequency ranged medium and sharp cut off pentodes and general use triodes that have been made by the millions and many of which are used by microphone manufacturers today. The BeesNeez team has spent decades searching for and researching tubes for microphones. The benefits of this can be heard across the entire range. For this particular model, they really have made an exciting find.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHE TRANSFORMER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDue to the enormous success of the B87i C microphone – largely stemming from its huge toroidal transformer, BeesNeez decided to use this form factor also in the B67-269. The benefits of this transformer type are numerous ensuring excellent impedance conversion and perfect common mode rejection in signal balancing. The original U67 used a BV12 UI30 core transformer. This original transformer had a third winding that was used in a negative feedback filter network to assist in the overall sound sculpting. Most clone manufacturers omit this tertiary winding (due to its complexity) and opt for a simple circuit. To make a truly accurate clone microphone, they use this tertiary winding in the same way it was initially used. This winding is a huge part of the overall sound of the Neumann U67.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eTHE CIRCUIT\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn many microphones, the circuit represents merely a few percentage points. This, to some extent, is also true in the U67. However, this circuit, unlike many others, does direct the audio flow into various feedback and filter componentry and, even though the sonic footprint of the circuit is negligible, the overall implementation is critical to the finished sonics of the U67. The circuit is true to form, and all filters\/feedback are in place. For the more critical user, the circuit also has the following switching: Broadcast filter, High pass filter and Pad. The B67-269 is also a multipattern microphone with 9 available patterns from Omni through to Cardioid and Figure 8.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCompared to other models, there are relatively few U67 clone microphones available today. It has been said that this is due to similar microphones still being currently produced. However, it is more likely due to the complexity of the circuit and sound of the venerable U67. It should be noted that if any part of the original circuit is omitted, then the overall result cannot be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBeesNeez are so pleased to be able to offer this great microphone to the market and look forward to the many fine recordings that will be made.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eWHAT’S INCLUDED:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez B67-269 Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Producer Series Shock Mount\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeesNeez Producer Series Power Supply\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BeesNeez Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451072409703,"sku":"287956","price":1509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/beesneez-b67-269-v2-large-diaphragm-tube-condenser-microphone-24_211364_1_48ff3818-b80f-457f-bc07-edde1bae30a5.jpg?v=1787095724"},{"product_id":"beesneez-bn251-multipattern-tube-condenser-microphone","title":"BeesNeez BN251 Multipattern Tube Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBeesNeez BN251\u003c\/strong\u003e is a part-for-part mechanical twin of the \"original\" Telefunken (AKG manufactured) ELA M251 microphone.

The M49 was the first microphone to utilize the slant grille technique, allowing the artist to further rely on their level of skill and reduces the sometimes unwanted proximity effect that is exhibited by microphones without the slant grille.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCIRCUIT DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe transformer is the BeesNeez BV-11 Transformer. The BV-11 audio transformer is handmade by BeesNeez to the original specifications, in Australia. The BV11 was made famous by its use in the M49\/M50 Microphone. They have chosen a PCB-style pin bobbin that fits into a PCB or can be leaded, like the original. These are not mass-produced, but rather are wound by hand by BeesNeez staff on their premises with care and attention to each transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe capsule in the Tribute 4 is the BeesNeez M7 microphone capsule which is handmade in their Australian factory from the original gun barrel material that Neumann used more than 65 years ago.

The M7 was made famous in microphones, such as the Neumann M49, U47, the Gefell CMV563, and many others since. The main reason for the popularity of this capsule is its realistic analogy of the source material, its great mathematic proximity, and its sultry overtones.

It’s a microphone that is over sixty years old and yet it is still the “go-to” condenser microphone for many high budget, large-scale recording studios. At BeesNeez, they don’t like to make gains from the glory of others, so they decided with their Tribute 1 condenser microphone to make it sonically equal to the U47, but BeesNeez gave it more features, stronger build and lower noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCIRCUIT DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformer in the Tribute 1 is the BeesNeez BV-08, made to the original factory specifications of the Neumann BV-08.

It had the ability to bring out the special source nuance of everything it captured. No single component in the U47 was anything super special or previously unused, however the magical combination, or the sum of all of its parts, truly made it an amazing tool of the trade. The T1 feels like a hot knife through butter, effortlessly bringing out the best of any captured source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eBUILD QUALITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhereas most manufacturers cannot control all aspects of their manufacture, BeesNeez can. They manufacture the head grilles, bodies, bases, capsules, diaphragms, transformers, etc. The Tribute 1 body tube is turned from a food grade bore brass casing. BeesNeez chose this particular type of brass due to its superior machine ability and durability. After machining the body, it is sent to a local powder coater for completion. The head grille is cut from bronze cast and machined to a mirror finish. The mesh windows are then removed during the same process before the head grille is sent off for medical-grade nickel plating. The base is made from 380 grade brass. It’s a solid brass round that they cut and form in BeesNeez' very own 8-axis turning center. The BeesNeez proprietary swivel mount connector features a gold-pinned Bakelite socket. BeesNeez pins are turned rather than pressed. The advantage here is a lifetime of connection without degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BeesNeez Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451144466535,"sku":"461767","price":3565.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/beesneez-tribute-1-24_16490_1.jpg?v=1787096013"},{"product_id":"beesneez-bn251-multipattern-tube-condenser-microphone-demo-deal","title":"BeesNeez BN251 Multipattern Tube Condenser Microphone (Demo Deal)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBeesNeez BN251\u003c\/strong\u003e is a part-for-part mechanical twin of the \"original\" Telefunken (AKG manufactured) ELA M251 microphone. The Telefunken ELA M251 was a microphone first designed in the 1950s by the Austrian microphone manufacturer AKG and it came to prominence in the 1960s. It was a joint effort between AKG manufacturing and Telefunken branding as well as marketing for this microphone.

The pattern switching was contained within the microphone. One unique element to the ELA M251 design was that the internals were contained in two cartridges (the head unit containing the capsule and the Impedance converter which is more commonly known as the amplifier cartridge) that were field swappable, giving Telefunken a very useful and very practical product that was easily serviceable with low downtimes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BeesNeez Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451146793063,"sku":"463335","price":3889.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/beesneez-bn251_455551_1_e3849425-95e3-4c95-877e-b91a01496715.jpg?v=1787096019"},{"product_id":"beesneez-bc12a-tube-condenser-microphone","title":"Beesneez BC12A Tube Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBeesNeez BC12A Tube Condenser Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e capture a best of both worlds design.
