A studio microphone with a retro look, warm sound, and is optimized for vocal recordings with the capsule of the legendary M 49 and U 47.
The Neumann TLM 49 condenser microphone is a professional-grade studio mic optimized for vocal and instrument recording. Inspired by Neumann's iconic vintage M49 and M50 mics, the TLM 49 combines a retro design with innovative transformerless technology for pristine audio quality, high-gain and low self-noise. Its large-diaphragm capsule and cardioid polar pattern are tailored to capture the warmth and detail of any sound source with stunning realism.
Pristine Audio Quality for Any Studio Application
Whether recording intimate vocals, acoustic instruments, drums or amps, the TLM 49 delivers audio with a level of depth and clarity that brings out the full character of any sound. Its wide, flat-frequency response captures the nuances in a performance while a gentle high-frequency boost adds detail and presence. With a sensitivity of 12mV/Pa, this mic handles high sound-pressure levels with ease and a dynamic range of 114dB ensures crystal-clear audio even at high-gain settings.
Versatile Polar Pattern for Flexibility
The TLM 49's cardioid polar pattern provides focused sensitivity in front of the mic with excellent off-axis rejection. Its tendency toward supercardioid at higher frequencies helps capture subtle details while minimizing bleed from nearby sources. This versatile yet directional pattern makes the TLM 49 an ideal choice for any close-mic application in a studio environment.
Built to Last With Vintage-Inspired Style
Housed in a durable nickel-plated brass casing, the TLM 49 combines a rugged build with an elegant retro design inspired by Neumann's most coveted vintage mics. Its elastically mounted internal components provide effective isolation from mechanical noise and vibration. A swivel mount allows flexible positioning and the included shockmount and pop filter provide additional protection and versatility. With premium components and solid construction, the TLM 49 delivers professional performance and reliability for years to come.
