The Cable company of which I recently ordered a cable from said; that they use Acoustic guitar (along with Voice) as their prime listening references when evaluating their own cables. Claiming that they had over 7 terabytes of acoustic music in which to use. |

I'm definitely hearing a little "buzz" way up top. What are you listening on? I wanted to double check so I listened on Dynaudio LYD48s (3-way), JBL 4315s (4-way), and the little JBL LSRs we have at the studio (I should know the model, but I don't, but they are 2-ways with a sub & they have the self-calibration DSP). That little buzz was there in all of those systems.

In the old days some engineers liked the "keys test". I never subscribed to that, but I do understand the logic of testing the transient response & detail in the high end. That was definitely more of a concern in the days of tape, where you lost some of that, in varying amounts, based on tape formula, tape speed & inherent mechanical EQ fingerprint of the tape machine itself.

And this is the important thing, right?
It's almost detrimental to even start off by comparing this to a classic like the u67. You immediately introduce expectations that may not be the builder's original intent. I almost wish these mic manufacturers would just avoid the comparison altogether and tell us what they're after, like: smooth & honest with tube character. Instead of "u67 clone".

And actually I ONLY trust my ears, the graphs were for those you use them. That's why I don't trust any online gear demo. Online video/audio compression, bad mic placement, you name it, I can't live with it. If I'm interested in a mic, I ask about the return policy, or I just rent what I want to buy. My experience with Beeznees mics is that they are good sounding mics, but rarely sound like the originals. And what I hear in the postings in this thread is lightness in the lowend and a slightly different top-end. That said, I would still like to give the BU67 a try. If it brings the U67 tone for that kind of money that's a bargain. I would like to see if the online stuff samples are representative of the actual sound. I actually have a Violet Flamingo that has a great U67 vibe (EF86, 67 voiced capsule) but it's only single pattern. Last edited by rockabilly69; 07-17-2022 at 07:39 PM. |

My main vocal mic is still going to be my Flea 47 but there are some songs I've written where I think the 67 flavor may work better. But the bottom line for me is this... past 67 clones have been, imo, universally either terrible sounding or missed the sonic mark completely (the latter applies to the Neumann reissue). Every time one comes out, I am excited to hear it and then I'm disappointed. This mic is the closest I've ever heard a clone come to a 67. And that's not coming from a Beesneez fanboi. I own no other mics from them and in the 87 shootout I posted, I preferred the Serrano over the Beesneez. I just really like how this mic sounds. I'm going to hold off buying it until November and see if it goes on sale. But I'm pretty sure this is my next mic purchase. Quote:
I don't mind the mic makers using the vintage designations but your point is well taken.

BTW - I think I mentioned this as "coming soon". Production Experts call out our favorite workhorse mic.

We bought all the parts, sent them to Shannon, who built it & tuned it. It was his idea to tune the top end to be more 47/251-ish. I’m glad we let him do that.

Hi all.
I have been reading through the comments here and just thought I’d jump in and say a few words. The BU67 is within a 1/4 dB at all frequencies to the Original untouched Neumann we used to engineer the Sonics. We have hand wound the toroidal transformer to extend to 5hz so the lows can be dialed in to suit. There are a few mentions of a harshness in the preceding posts; even though I didn’t hear them, I analyzed the clip just in case and I didn’t see anything that was out of the ordinary. In usage, the BU67 is actually smoother than the original we have which is mainly due to the transformer. Here is another clip for you all to listen to. Piano is BM49’s, vocals is BU67 https://soundcloud.com/stefan-nowak The file is Jol-1807 Let me know what you think. Cheers. Ben sneesby |
