BeesNeez builds condenser microphones in Australia, part-for-part reproductions of classic Neumann, AKG and Telefunken designs — the U47, U67, M269, C12, ELA M251, KM84, U87 — alongside its own FET models built on the same capsules. Capsules and heads are interchangeable across most of the range.
Who it is for
- Classic U47/U67/C12/251 tone without a vintage price tag — each family of models reproduces a specific, historical circuit and capsule.
- One microphone, several voicings — the B67-269 switches between the 67 and 269 modes, each in an Old and New version, plus a broadcast filter.
- A versatile FET mic for vocals, voiceover and instruments — the Isobel (K67 capsule, U87/C414-style) and the B87ic (K87 capsule, U87-style).
The line
- U47-style — BU47 M7 and BU47 K7 (different M7/K7 capsules), each also available in an RP (Remote Pattern) version.
- U67/269-style — B67-269, four voicings in one body.
- C12-style — the BC12 series: BC12a FET (fixed pattern), BC12a Tube (9 patterns), BC12 Multi (long body).
- 251-style — BN251, CK12 capsule, 12AT7 tube.
- Versatile FET — Isobel, Arabella, Phelicity, Oliver / Oliver FET, B87i / B87ic.
- Small-diaphragm — Lulu FET (single and pair), Lulu Tube (single and pair), Elly Studio.
- Tribute — Tribute 1 and Tribute 2.
