Neumann TLM 49 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The TLM 49 brings back the vintage tone of Neumann's post-war classics. The TLM 49 uses the same K 47 capsule and the iconic large headgrille design of Neumann's legendary M 49, but instead of electron tubes the TLM 49 relies on trouble free FET circuitry with a special sound design for smooth vocals and acoustic instruments with timeless elegance.
