Frequently Asked Questions

It's an admirable recreation, capturing much of the U67's character, but lacks the subtle nuances and age of a vintage original – still a fantastic value for the price.
While it’s capable, the inherent noise floor might require significant processing; it’s better suited for sources with a bit more natural level.
It needs an external power supply (included), standard 48V phantom power won't work due to the unique circuitry.
