Universal Audio Bock 167 – Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone
The Universal Audio Bock 167 is a premium large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed by renowned microphone engineer David Bock and handcrafted at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California. It delivers the smooth, rich tone associated with classic vintage studio microphones while offering modern flexibility for contemporary recording workflows.
Inspired by legendary tube microphones such as the U67-style design, the Bock 167 expands the concept with advanced tone-shaping features and continuously variable polar patterns.
Sound Character
The Bock 167 provides a warm, detailed tube sound with a lively midrange and smooth high-frequency response. Its combination of dual-symmetrical K67 capsule, NOS EF732 tube, and Lundahl output transformer delivers rich harmonic content and excellent headroom.
The microphone features a continuously variable polar pattern, allowing seamless transition between omni, cardioid and figure-8 pickup patterns for precise control over the recording environment.
