Neumann u67 Power Supply (NU67u) Vintage

Neumann u67 Power Supply NU67u Vintage

Original Vintage Neumann u67 microphone power supply.

I am looking to sell this PS OR buy your matching vintage u67 body with an original capsule.

Reach out if you have such a rare bird. This one came from a studio that had been ransacked and sadly sat unused for years. I tested it with my own whole vintage U67 and was happy to find it performed identically to my other supply.  

To Quote Neumann Microphone expert Klaus Heyne in his analysis of the newest Neumann U 67 he found the vintage power supply to have a sonic effect on the microphone over the new but solidly functioning reissue. Her are his thoughts.

A link to his analysis is below. He is an amazing and unique resource for mic knowledge.

1. Reissue: NU67V Power Supply

Test: Vintage U67, Telefunken EF86 chrome plate, original cable, but replaced vintage NU67u (1963) power supply with Reissue NU67V (2018) power supply.
DC output @ 120VAC nominal: 207 B+, 6.3VDC Heater.
(These voltages are very close to ideal, considering that there are no adjustment options)

The Sound: against expectations* a small reduction in sound stage width; the formerly robust lower mids are affected and so is the dynamic behavior; everything sounds a bit smaller, slightly distant, a bit listless, with an onset of high-mid smear; a small but noticeable step down in resolution. It’s subtle, but I had no doubt after repeating the test 10 times over several days.

*confirmation bias? I was previously incredulous of the impact a power supply could have on a tube-condenser mic’s sound. I used to discount ‘Golden Ears’ who claimed to “hear the power supply”. No longer.

Tube-Tech ME1B Tube EQ $2950

For sale is a used Tube-Tech-ME1B all-tube equalizer in pristine condition $2950

The TUBE-TECH ME 1B is a passive, all-tube midrange EQ based on the legendary Pultech MEQ5, featuring two boost- and one dip section. The bandwidth of the ME1B sections is designed broader than in the MEQ5
for ultra-smooth and musical equalization, perfect for vocals, instruments, speech and all other midrange sources.

Mid frequencies have always been very important, when EQ’ing instruments and vocals to make a mix come together. TUBE-TECH ME 1B can shape the midrange frequencies in that very pleasant way, only a passive equalizer is capable of. Even extreme midrange boosts still sound open and warm without the slightest trace of harshness.

ME 1B is the perfect partner for the PE1C program eq and works very well as a bus EQ for many different uses.

The famous Motown sound? The ME1B is an important tool tool for adding that nice midrange to your recordings.

The TUBE-TECH ME 1B is a passive tube based midrange equalizer developed tomatch and surpass the demands of even the most discerning studio engineers.

The TUBE-TECH ME 1B Midrange Equalizer contains a low frequency boost section for peaking, a mid frequency attenuation for dipping as well as a high frequency boost section for peaking. The filter section is of the the passive type followed by a tube based push-pull amplifier to restore the gain.

Input and output are balanced as well as fully floating. Input and output transformers come with a static screen between the primary and secondary wirings.

  • Tube based push-pull amplifier
  • Frequency response @ -3 dB: 5 Hz to 40 kHz
  • Low Noise: < -80 dBU @ 0 dB gain
  • CMRR: > 60 dB @ 10 kHz
  • 5 LF peaks: 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1 kHz (0 to +10 dB)
  • 11 MF dips: 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 kHz (0 to -10 dB)
  • 5 HF peaks: 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 kHz (0 to +8 dB)
  • Input impedance: 600Ω
  • No insertion loss
  • Conductive plastic potentiometers
  • In- and output are transformer balanced and fully floating

Ashley Protea System 4.24PS 75 plus shipping if needed.

4-Channel Digital Parametric EQ

The Protea 4.24PS 4-Channel Parametric EQ Sys Processor lets you install multiple-channel parametric equalizers where tamperproof, precise audio equalization is required. Easily control and program the Protea EQ with Ashly's exclusive Protea System Software running on a PC or a MIDI controller. The Protea 4.24PS is housed in an all-steel, 2RU chassis, and has four independent channels of fully programmable 12-band parametric EQ with limiter, high- and low-pass filter, and time delay functions.

Each parametric band allows for 1/25th to 3.3 octave Q, a twenty-four step/octave frequency adjustment from 20Hz to 20KHz, and level control of +10/-20dB in 0.5dB increments. High and low-shelf filters are adjustable from 1.6kHz to 20kHz and 20Hz to 240Hz, respectively. High and low pass filters are 24dB/octave adjustable from 20Hz to 10.6kHz and 33Hz to 20kHz, respectively. The time delay is adjustable up to 1.364 seconds.

Other features include 24-bit A/D-D/A conversion, 24-bit/100MHz digital processing, RS-232, and MIDI interface, linkable channels, +6dB/-infinity master gain, and 128 preset locations. Both units display individual channel numbers using 7-segment displays. Signal present and signal clip levels are indicated by discrete LEDs.

Revox B750 Amplifier

This compact full amplifier transfers even extreme Crescendi from breath to Furioso in impressive purity. In order to be able to build the compact amplifier Revox B750, only musical high points had to be analyzed and over nostalgic tubes strengthened. The quality of a Revox B750 amplifier can be based not simply on its wattage, but to it, how distortion-free it shows the music. In addition, it is nearly unbelievable, which an amplifier must carry out. It processes even high-complex signal forms both with smaller as well as with the largest volume in such a manner purely that remaining distortions can be only proven with most modern measuring methods.
