REFURBISHED UHER 615 N 1960S XLR

The Uher 615 N is a true aiming microphone . This model represents Uher at flagship level: purposeful, overbuilt, and engineered for demanding speech and music applications

OPTICAL CONDITION

Very clean and well preserved. The distinctive square metal mesh and body show only minimal signs of age.

TECHNICAL CONDITION

Fully functional and tested. Output is strong and even. The MS (Music / Speech) filter operates correctly with a clearly defined response change.

BUILD & DESIGN

The UM 615 N is a directional aiming microphone, immediately recognizable by its square metal mesh construction—a design choice that emphasizes rigidity, shielding, and mechanical stability. Everything about this microphone feels intentional and robust, reflecting Uher’s broadcast-grade standards.

Internally, the dynamic capsule is tuned for clarity and body, offering strong low-frequency response without uncontrolled boom. The integrated MS filter provides a deep, deliberate low cut: not a bass-less sound, but a properly voiced roll-off that tightens the response while keeping weight and warmth intact.

This is a microphone built as a quality tool rather than a lightweight accessory.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Type: Dynamic
Polar pattern: Directional

SOUND CHARACTERISTICS

Warm, solid, and confident. With the filter disengaged, the UM 615 N delivers plenty of bass—full and deep for a directional dynamic mic—paired with a smooth, articulate midrange. High frequencies are controlled and natural, avoiding harshness.

Engaging the MS filter introduces a noticeable low-cut, reducing low-frequency energy while retaining body and intelligibility. This makes the mic especially effective for speech, broadcast voice, commentary, and focused instrument capture where clarity and control are essential.
It also performs well on sources like guitar cabinets or close-miked instruments when a tighter low end is preferred.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE

Estimated Frequency Response:
50 Hz – 14,500 Hz

• Strong low-frequency presence with filter disengaged
• Pronounced low-cut when MS filter is engaged
• Smooth, warm midrange
• Controlled high-frequency roll-off
