Neumann TLM 49 Condenser Microphone for Vocals

The Neumann TLM 49 is a large-diaphragm studio microphone designed with a cardioid directional pattern to deliver a warm and smooth sound. Optimized specifically for vocal performance, this microphone is known for its exceptional clarity and detailed sound reproduction, making it an ideal choice for high-quality vocal recordings. It comes as a set with an elastic suspension to ensure stable positioning and reduced handling noise.

Inspired by the iconic M 49 and M 50 microphones from the 1950s, the TLM 49 boasts a fine matte nickel finish that gives it a classic, timeless appearance. The microphone’s sound design is also reminiscent of the renowned M 49 and the U 47, ensuring a vintage vibe while incorporating modern Neumann transformerless circuit technology. This technology provides low self-noise and accommodates high gain levels effectively.

At the heart of the TLM 49 is the famous K 47 capsule, which is also found in the M 49 and the U 47 models. This capsule offers a linear frequency response up to the upper mid-range, where there is a gentle presence boost of up to 3 dB above 2 kHz, enhancing the microphone’s overall clarity and output.
