I don't think there where U87 (even early one's) with that kind of a plug. It is a typical plug for tube mics. The 87 from my understanding had XLR, or maybe Tuchel on very early one's but not that big plugs. So I guess it is not a 87 and also not an U77... Daniel |

Hey Niko, which studio is that? I thought that was some guy's private studio in the US... Just heard his recordings and loved the sound. Nice to hear that thing is in Switzerland - around the corner here. thumbsup |

The rest of the drum micing is funny/weird, too. Sennheiser MD21 (omni) as snare-side "underhead" and another on a gooseneck by the floortom. And what's that 50ies-Sci-Fi thingy between the bass drum and floortom? I've seen it before, but can't remember the make. Anyhoo, would be cool to hear that recording.

Definitely U67. You can tell by the body shape, which would tell you it's either a U67 or U87, but the plug on the bottom shows you that it has it's own power source making it the U67.

Here´s the website of the studio: Stratozoo Vintage Recording Studio Much cool stuff there, including a tube mixer and many U67s, no U87s... The Sci-Fi-Thing is an Electro-Voice Microphone, seems to be a close brother of that commen "Elvis"-model... I don´t know the definite number.

Sorry, didn't zoom in on the pic. Didn't even see the mic. Looks like some old astatic or shure?

Niko, tried to contact them but their e-mail doesn't work. Do you know of any other recordings made there that are available? Would love to hear more of that sound  |

I'm sure these are U67s, because their website says they have them, but from the looks it could also be U87. The connector format was the same on U67s and U87s for the first few years after the model change, except on tube mics you naturally have a couple more pins working. BTW, I find the guessing about the micing technique and the position of the mics on this particular photo very very funny. , thx for making me laugh. Has anybody asked themselves if this wild array of mics is maybe made up for the photo, and not necessarily for recording? Starting with the OHs pointing into the room rather than at the kit, maybe?

While you're at it, what's this fancy mic this guy is singing into? Looks expensive! This is "High End" so maybe you guys'll know. YouTube - Bitter bitter weeks Revenge (An engineer's joke)

What is that? Random mic placement? "Hey, make sure you get the 67's in the shot"??? If there's some plan there, I'd like to know it.
