In the early 1970s, dick clark productions was moving to new offices. American Bandstand’s Producer approached Roy Rising, the show’s sound mixer, with an offer. “In a closet there’s an old microphone that Dick used for voice recording. It’s no longer needed, do you want it?” Rising said to bring it to the next videotape session so he could decide.
The mic turned out to be a very nice Neumann U 67 made in 1962. It was complete with shock mount/cable assembly and power supply with AC cord. All that was missing was the original gray box for the mic. Since then, this gem has seen very little use. It has been tested and continues to deliver the excellent sound for which it is famous. The same K 67 capsule type is used in the modern U 87Ai.
This system has been recently tested and is working just fine.
