Is this a genuine Neumann k67 Capsule?
« on: May 07, 2012, 09:34:47 AM »

Checking in to see if the capsule pictured below is an actual Neumann NOS k67 Capsule.  The seller says he never touched it but the guy he bought it from sent the mic in to Neumann and they went over it and installed a NOS Neumann capsule. 

Klauss - I'm noticing the use of solid-core/mono-filament wire used to connect the capsule.  As per the thread below, is that an indicator that this might not be genuine Neumann?  http://repforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php?topic=30684.0

Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

This capsule looks exactly like what you assumed: A Neumann K67 replacement capsule, made about 12-15 years ago.

The only mono-filament wires that were used on ALL head stocks of U67 and U87, from 1960 until 1986, were the two wires with clear jackets that are soldered to the two yellow diaphragm wires.

I hope the new capsule wasn't fitted by Neumann.

I don't want to believe that anyone there would have soldered the wires together quite so poorly.
