Neumann TLM 49 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Award-winning large diaphragm condenser microphone capturing the sound of Neumann’s classic U 47 and M 49 tube condensers in a modern design
MFR# 8550

Product Description

The Neumann TLM 49 is an award-winning large diaphragm condenser mic that captures the sound of the brand’s classic U 47 and M 49 tube condensers in a modern design. Equipped with a transformerless solid state circuit capable of recreating tube sound characteristics with stunning realism, the Neumann TLM 49 is optimized for a classic, silky vocal sound.

A CLASSIC SOUND REINVENTED

Classic tube microphones sound amazing, but ask any engineer working in a professional studio and they’ll tell you vintage mics aren’t without their drawbacks. In addition to astronomical price tags, vintage originals often require maintenance, causing these beloved mics to attract dust on the shelves as collector’s items. Thankfully, the TLM 49 combines the sonic charm of Neumann’s legendary U 47 and M 49 microphones with the convenience and high reliability of FET circuitry. Designed to deliver a smooth sound for vocals and acoustic instruments, the TLM 49 is ideal for both home and professional studios.

INSPIRED BY THE LEGENDARY M 49

Classic tube microphones sound amazing, but ask any engineer working in a professional studio and they’ll tell you vintage mics aren’t without their drawbacks. In addition to astronomical price tags, vintage originals often require maintenance, causing these beloved mics to attract dust on the shelves as collector’s items. 

Thankfully, the TLM 49, like the Neumann TLM 103 or TLM 102, combines the sonic charm of Neumann’s legendary U 47 and M 49 microphones with the convenience and high reliability of FET circuitry. Designed to deliver a smooth sound for vocals and acoustic instruments, the TLM 49 is ideal for voiceovers and vocals during any pro audio recording session.

INSPIRED BY THE LEGENDARY M 49

As suggested by the model number, the TLM 49 is inspired by the legendary Neumann M 49. Known as the vocal mic of choice for Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, and more, the M 49 was used on countless jazz and pop recordings of the 1950s and 60s. The TLM 49 uses the same open headgrill and K 47 capsule design as the original M 49.

However, instead of using clunky electron tubes like the original M 49, the TLM 49’s head amplifier uses reliable transformerless solid state technology. Featuring a special sound design that closely reproduces the sonics of tube circuits, the TLM 49 produces soft saturation at high SPLs to simulate the response of vintage tubes. In addition, the TLM 49 mic is mounted with a rubber shock mount.

APPLICATIONS

Equipped with a fixed cardioid polar pattern and a sensitivity of just 13 mV/Pa, the TLM 49 excels at recording intimate vocal and acoustic performances. However, the TLM 49 studio microphone also features a clear bass, superb midrange, and a gentle presence boost above 2 kHz, allowing it to shine in almost any application.

Features:

  • Same capsule as legendary Neumann U 47 and M 49 microphones
  • Cardioid condenser microphone pattern
  • Classic sound for silky vocals
  • Large, acoustically open headgrille
  • Transformerless solid state circuit with tube sound characteristics
  • Very low self-noise found in all Neumann microphones
  • Includes EA 3 shock mount

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
