Universal Audio Bock 167 Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone
Vintage U67 tube mics are cherished for their full sound and lively midrange. UA Bock 167 improves upon this classic design with three EQ filtering options, a unique "fat" switch for boosting between 10 Hz and 400 Hz, and a continuously variable polar pattern. This translates into recordings with more dynamic range, tonal extension, and flexibility.
Handwired using premium components — including a dual-symmetrical K67 capsule, Lundahl transformer, and NOS tube — each UA Bock 167 is built and tested to David Bock's exacting specifications. With its premium case, professional shock mount, and hand-tuned power supply, this mic will provide years of exceptional recordings.
