History of the Mic with Steven Paul
"I met Steven Paul at Leonard Kovner's studio Davlen in Studio City/Lankershim Blvd when I brought in and worked on Stop Making Sense and assisted on two Chicago sessions (to help Len out), Steven was the tech and working on his mics on the side. He talked about the tech aspects and his search for the perfect sounding mic/diaphragm. We stayed friends and when he was working out of his apartment in Reseda I took the U67 over to him to check it out. He asked if he could do a smaller micron gold diaphragm update to it and how excited he was to have the opportunity. I knew his mics, had used them before and agreed. He serviced the mic for a number of years out of love and after his death his team serviced the mic regularly and always commented on what a perfect specimen it was and a testament to Stevens genius.
