The mic-switch \"Cardioid\" mode disconnects the rear diaphragm of the K67 capsule, reducing the mic's voltage requirement and allowing compatibility with a PSU intended for Neumann's \"miniature\" microphones. This Cardioid mode exhibits a 4dB higher sensitivity than the remote-selected Cardioid mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(38, 38, 38);font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:revert;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\"\u003eThe K67 capsule, introduced specifically for the U-67 just two years prior, marked a milestone as Neumann's first dual backplate capsule. Unlike its predecessor, the K47 capsule, which employed a single shared backplate, the dual backplates of the K67 facilitated independent tuning of the two diaphragms before their integration into a unified capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(38, 38, 38);font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:revert;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\"\u003eFeaturing a special circuit within the amplifier, the M 269c uniquely attenuates all frequencies below 30Hz, while faithfully reproducing frequencies above 40Hz linearly. For those seeking an extended low-frequency response, the microphone amplifier's capabilities can be expanded to below 20Hz by adjusting the jumper \"S-2\" within the amplifier itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(38, 38, 38);font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;margin:revert;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;\"\u003eManufactured from 1962 to 1973, the Neumann M 269 remains an enduring testament to precision engineering and technological innovation in the realm of professional audio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451171991655,"sku":"457448","price":12995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/neumann-m269c-5595-vintage_457448_1.jpg?v=1787096127","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/neumann-m269c-5595-vintage","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
