Definition of "k67":

K67 is the designation of one of Neumann’s best-known condenser microphone capsules. The K67 capsule, sometimes incorrectly referred to as “KK67*,” was developed as a simpler, multipattern-capable alternative to Neumann’s K47 capsule.

The K47 had a single backplate and dual diaphragms. Tuning the two diaphragms equally was difficult, due to interference from the second diaphragm, but any discrepancy between front and back would result in uneven figure-of-8 and omnidirectional patterns. Therefore Neumann’s engineers reasoned that manufacturing a capsule with two backplates that could be joined together later (after single diaphragms had been installed) would simplify manufacturing processes and reduce costs, while delivering more-consistent performance from the microphones.

The K67 capsule was designed to use polyester-film diaphragms rather than the PVC of the original M7 and K47 capsules.

Microphone manufacturers in China have copied several classic condenser capsule designs, including the AKG CK-12, K47, and K67. Chinese K67 copies are considered by many US importers to be the most successful of these copies. Most China-made condenser mics found in the US employ K67-type capsules, as evidenced by the microphone list on this page.

K67-type capsules can be easily identified by the pattern of holes drilled in the backplate. The outer circumference of holes forms straight lines that run at a tangent to the gold-sputtered area of the diaphragm. Pictured is a K870, one of Neumann’s variants of the K67 capsule.

*The KK nomenclature, such as in KK67, was shorthand for Kapselkopf, or “capsule head,” and included the entire modular head assembly — of which the K67 capsule was only one component.
