Received notification of BU67 arrival.  Will try it out before bed/after work, to get a preliminary sense of the 67/269 settings. Planning to update this post after that too. Chris That’s awesome! I look forward to your thoughts on it. Here is the info Ben gave me about the switches: “ Switches; Top left near head grille; hi pass. To the right of the hi pass id Broadcast filter Below these two is the Pad And at the bottom next to the transformer Cathode by-pass: down is like a u67, up is like a 269.” Thanks! Honestly I couldn't see any of that right away, without that guidance. Geico Caveman here. I made sure it was switched to 115 Volts on the PSU. Chris |

Actually dinner last night was california rolls and salmon rolls. I love Japanese food. If I have a yen for it. P.S. But not sushi. Too undercooked. |

Yep. The BU67 sounds great.
I'm tempted to post the domestic kitchen vocal I did. Which amply illustrates...
1) Its smooth and lush quality ala U67.
2) Chris using his soft after 10PM/don't bug the neighbors voice. Good alternative to Sominex, if you're out of it.zzzzzzz
3) How bad my untreated kitchen sounds,
despite my best efforts adding reverb
camouflage.
Chris
P.S. I'll attempt to record something more worthy of the mic, this weekend at work after hours.

It was fun singing this "one take" Little Richard song. ("Rip It Up" Intro). BU67 in Figure 8. Chris |

Great samples here. They really show the differences with the settings. This is an unbelievable value.

Posted on the BeesNeez site. Worth sharing here. Wonderful capture of a beautiful perfomance.
Listen to this sample of “Jolene”, recorded with a BeesNeez BU67!

Those performances are helping to inspire me to do some more vocal training. As yours do too! Chris |

I tried the BU67 with an upright piano the other day and really enjoyed it. The best description I can think of is focused and natural sounding. I haven't had a singer around to use it with yet.
I didn't even think to open it up to try the other settings, but the S2 mod Josh's video shows off fills out the low end in a nice way! Each of the settings sounded great. I wish the low cut and some of these others were options without needing to open it up. Too expensive to implement?
I have no experience with an actual U67 to know how authentic it sounds.
I had always been hesitant to buy BeezNeez because I thought if it needed servicing, sending back to Australia could be a hassle (and potential disaster if you are waiting forever or it's lost). But I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this.

Great samples here. They really show the differences with the settings. This is an unbelievable value. $1503 U.S. (today, and I suppose some shipping expense). That is an amazing value! And Beesneez will even tell you what the tube is! (hint to other manufacturers!) |

And Beesneez will even tell you what the tube is! (hint to other manufacturers!) I paid $1,457.33 + $57 flat rate shipping. It does not come in any sort of pelican or suitcase style container. So, if you like to store your mics in something that holds the whole amount of gear (shock mount, cable, etc.), you'll need to plan for that. |
