Hi,
Another very special gem from my collection. Here is a very rare Neumann M367 (just serviced, new tube AC701K) : Here is my favorite microphone of all time. If you don't know about it, it was commisionned by French radio from 1966 to 1976 and was produced in only a few hundred /maybe 200 exemplary maximum. It's basically a vintage U67 but with the AC701K instead of the EF86. Very close brother to the M269C (which was the german radio comissionned version ) with only 2 small differences seperating them: 1: Sogie connector instead of Tuchel. 2: Polarity control on the microphone like U67 instead of on the PSU like M269. M367 is more rare as there are less than half the amount produced. Thats it.
To sum it short, the microphone has a legendary brass K67 capsule, translucide acrylic head mount (not cheaper plastic later 70s version of vintage U67)
, BV12 transformer (same as U67) and an AC701K tube.
If you are familiar with vintage U67, you will surely enjoy this one even more. It is similar sounding meaning awesome presence, super versatile and musical. But the difference is noticeable, i feel the sound is larger meaning more bass but also more definition in the highs. The noise ratio is lower than U67 making it a ridiculously quiet microphone. It's hard to explain but the microphone is unequally balanced and rich.
The mids are less congested than vintage U67 which required sometimes EQ but the M367 always make perfect tracks not requiring anything. Also the microphone offers a tiny tad of natural compression/rejection of other sources which makes it in my opinion the best microphone of all time. I wish i had 10 and record every sources with it but i currentely have 3 and the other ones are match pair so cant seperate. Only letting it go to fund renovation of my studio...but will buy more again.
