{"product_id":"universal-audio-mic-ua167","title":"Universal Audio Bock 167 Tube Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Universal Audio Bock 167 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed by David Bock and built by hand at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California. It is David Bock's take on the classic U67, with a dual-diaphragm K67-type capsule, a Lundahl output transformer and a new old stock EF732 tube, plus tone controls the vintage mic never had. It suits singers, acoustic instruments, drums and voiceover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTone Shaping on the Mic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree switches on the body shape the sound before it reaches the preamp. The Mode switch picks Normal, a nominally flat response with a slight lift at the top, or Fat, which boosts the low end between 10 Hz and 400 Hz and drops the high lift. The High Frequency switch has four positions: a 3 dB shelving cut at 10 kHz, a 1.5 dB shelving cut at 5 kHz, flat, and a 2 dB shelving boost at 10 kHz. A 10 dB pad is there for drums, guitar amps and other loud sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePattern Control on the Power Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polar pattern is set with a continuously variable knob on the dedicated UA Bock 167 power supply: fully counterclockwise for omni, straight up for cardioid and fully clockwise for figure-8. Each power supply is adjusted at the factory for the microphone it ships with. The mic connects to it with the included six-pin XLR cable and does not need phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-diaphragm tube condenser, handmade at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-diaphragm K67-type capsule with dual symmetrical backplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLundahl output transformer and new old stock EF732 tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContinuously variable pattern from omni through cardioid to figure-8, set on the power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFat mode adds a low-end boost between 10 Hz and 400 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour-position high frequency switch and -10 dB pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApollo Channel Strip presets available through UA Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large-diaphragm tube condenser, side address\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continuously variable, omni to cardioid to figure-8 (on the power supply)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\" dual-diaphragm K67 type, dual symmetrical backplate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube:\u003c\/strong\u003e New old stock EF732\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Hz to 18 kHz, ±2 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e -29 dB (33 mV) re 1 V at 1 Pa, 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 dBA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118 dB SPL at 1% THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 ohms (recommended load above 2 kohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pad (-10 dB), Mode (Fat, Normal), High Frequency (-3 dB at 10 kHz, -1.5 dB at 5 kHz, flat, +2 dB at 10 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-pin XLR (mic), 3-pin XLR male (power supply output)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e UA Bock 167 PSU, 100, 115 or 230 V AC, factory set for the region\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\" (228 mm) long, 2\" (50 mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.58 lbs (716 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 lbs (5.4 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUA Bock 167 microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUA Bock 167 PSU power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSix-pin XLR cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShock mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560000803065,"sku":"MIC-UA167","price":4299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/ua-bock-167-front.jpg?v=1792173936","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/universal-audio-mic-ua167","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
