UNIVERSAL AUDIO V230523A UA Bock 167 Microphone PSU User Guide

Introduction

The UA Bock 167 microphone continues Universal Audio’s proud tradition of timeless craftsmanship. Lovingly handbuilt at the UA Custom Shop in Santa Cruz, California, your new microphone is designed to deliver uncompromising quality and a lifetime of musical inspiration.

This microphone is a high-quality large-diaphragm condenser with vacuum tube electronics and continuously variable directivity. Featuring a dual membrane K67 capsule and a large core output transformer to dramatically increase low frequency response and headroom, the UA Bock 167 sounds rich and full.

Designed and engineered by David Bock, the UA Bock 167 provides a wider range of controls versus a vintage U67. This makes it a natural choice for singers, acoustic instruments, drums, and voiceovers.

Getting Started

Place the UA Bock 167 microphone in its included shockmount on a stable mic stand. Connect the power supply to AC, then connect the included six-pin XLR cable from power supply to microphone.

Note: The power supply should be powered off before connecting or disconnecting the microphone. After switching on the power supply, allow the tube several minutes to warm up before use.

The Bock 167’s polar response pattern is adjusted by the continuously variable remote control on the power supply. Rotate the control fully counterclockwise for omni response, or fully clockwise for figure-8 response. Set the control to noon (straight up) for cardioid polar response.
