Uses the capsule of the legendary M 49 and U 47. Cardioid polar pattern. Set includes elastic suspension. \u003cbr\u003eThe Neumann TLM 49 is a large-diaphragm studio microphone with a cardioid directional characteristic and a warm sound which is especially optimized for vocal performance. It is supplied as a set, with an elastic suspension. \u003cbr\u003eThe design is inspired by that of the legendary M 49 and M 50 microphones of the 1950s. Naturally the TLM 49 has the typical Neumann fine matte nickel finish. The \"sound design\" is also oriented toward that of the M 49 and the U 47. \u003cbr\u003eBy combining its retro look with proven Neumann transformerless circuit technology, this microphone ensures low self-noise and the use of high gain levels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the development phase, the sound was adjusted in extensive practical tests, so as to make the TLM 49 ideal particularly for vocal and speech recording. However, in addition, it is also suitable for instrumental applications in professional production studios and demanding home recordings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM49 provides a cardioid directional characteristic with a tendency toward supercardioid, due to the special capsule construction. Following the example of the M 49, high frequencies are more directional. The capsule diameter is 34 mm. \u003cbr\u003eThe front of the microphone is indicated by the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The capsule is oriented so that the microphone is addressed from the front. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe TLM 49 uses the famous K 47 capsule, which was also used in the M 49 and the U 47. The capsule has a linear frequency response up to the upper mid-range. Above 2 kHz there is a gentle presence boost up to 3 dB. \u003cbr\u003eThe capsule is enclosed by a large microphone headgrille, which is acoustically very open and is hence neutral with regard to the sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe letters TLM stand for \"transformerless microphone\". With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. \u003cbr\u003eAs with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal. \u003cbr\u003eNoise signals which affect the balanced modulation line are therefore effectively suppressed. The microphone can operate at sound pressure levels of up to 114 dB without distortion, and provides a dynamic range of 102 dB (A-weighted).","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451071524967,"sku":"217376","price":1079.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/neumann-tlm-49-16700-used_217376_1_dc868205-f5ac-4d89-90b0-c88e64dd411f.jpg?v=1787095720","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/neumann-tlm-49-16700-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
