Neumann TLM 49 Vocal Condenser Microphone

It’s a great mic, but really brings out sibilance on my vocals

Product Rating Product Review Vocal mics are so personal so your results may vary, but for me no matter how I place it, it’s a sibilance monster! Otherwise though it sounds great, really nice mid range tone, I really like it on acoustic guitars and amps as well. Have a feeling I’ll be using it more for instruments than vocals. On the right singer I’m sure it’s magic though, all the tone is there.

Product Review I have several different microphones but this one here is different. I have used it on vocals, percussion and as an overhead microphone and I must say that it is just something about the clarity of the Neumann TLM Microphone. I am using an Art voice channel preamp with it and I am not disappointed. Thanks to American Musical Supply for the ease of acquiring great equipment with the monthly payment plans !!!

Product Review The TLM 49 is massive in size and sound. I have owned several microphones and this is at the top without question. My vocals cut through, are crystal clear and have depth. My acoustic guitars’ tone shows up, the character of the sound is fully present with this microphone. I highly recommend it for an all-around microphone and specifically for male vocals.

Product Review I have recorded through many different styles of microphones in my career. I finally had the opportunity to purchase the Neumann TLM 49 Condenser Microphone and will never go back! I've had it about just over 6 months and my vocals have never sounded clearer and distinct. I pair it with a UA 610 tube pre-amp and the duo are incomparable. Would highly recommend for top notch sound!

Product Review Using it in a home studio with a portable sound booth. It’s clean, warm and full on vocals. We are also using it to mic up the electric guitar. So far we are very pleased with the sound quality worth every penny.

Silk On Male And Female Vocals

Product Review Partnered this baby with a Shelford Channel and a Apollo Twin X Quadcore and the result was silk. The dynamics of this mic allowed for airy highs and rich low mids. The mic is worth every penny. Bought my daughter the U87 and was worried about spending another 3600 and was not disappointed in the least when I ordered this from AMS. Their rep actively listened to my needs and love of Neumann products and selected the mic best suited. I am very pleased. Thanks AMS

Excellent Vocal Mic

Product Review I'm recording my own music in my home studio, so making a mic purchase at this price point is a serious consideration. There is a lot of other gear you could purchase for the money, but I have quality outboard preamps and compressors, a couple excellent audio interfaces (Apogee and Antelope Audio) along with a decent mic locker. I still wanted to have higher end vocal mic and after a TON of research I decided on the TLM 49. First off, when using a large diaphragm condenser microphone of this caliber, you have to treat your space properly; I had to amend my acoustic treatment because my first recordings were picking up far too much of my room and were anything but flattering. Once straightened out and after experimenting with mic placement a bit, I was able to attain the type vocal recording I had hoped to, which was full, clear and with a pronounced and very pleasing upper midrange/high end. I struggle with sibilance on my vocal recordings and was really pleased that the high end sounds so clear and crisp without harshness on the S sounds in particular. There is a certain tonality to all the Neumann mics I've heard that is so complimentary to the human voice, and one thing I noticed is very little EQing is necessary in the final mix, I cut a little low end out and that's it. As always, props to American Musical! Their payment plan makes these type of purchases possible in some situations, easier to justify in others, and ultimately offers flexibility for the buyer that really sets them apart from so many other major music store retailers. They've got a customer for life with me!

Having the name Neumenn in my studio gives me an advantage.

Product Review I have already "seen with my own ears" the difference having the right mic can make. Even in laying a scratch vocal. What the artist hears gives them an "excitement" response and gets the juices flowing for a great rhythm track. That's so important!

Product Review I have had this mic for a little over a week now and i must say it leaves all my other mics in the dust. i have recorded male and female with this mic and it is nothing short of amazing. it cuts the lows very well and all my recording are clean with no EQ...i do eq a little for my taste. hehe Trust me i have recored with tons of mics expensive and cheap under 200$ and i must say for this price you are getting a high quality mic that sounds more expensive than it really is. i would def recommend this mic to anybody who is looking for that clean vintage sound in there recordings. Happy recording all :)

Product Review It may sound crazy, but I am just starting out learning to sing, and so I therefore wanted to buy a great microphone to record with. I am actually a keyboardist, but I need to sing too and I have experimented with the Neumann TLM 102 before. I wanted something even more clean and satisfying. So I bought this microphone and for the past week have been making music both with and without processing. What I am hearing is a very smooth sound to my voice, and I think there is something special about this product that I could not get with other microphones. A microphone like this would probably be a good choice for just about any singer who, in her or his own studio, needs a well-built smooth sounding microphone that will capture many nuances of the voice of the singer (or speaker). Microphones like this are very interesting because a microphone should deliver a great and direct sound regardless of the kind of music one uses it for. The Neumann TLM 49 was a great choice for my studio.

The mic is extremely well built. You can tell just by holding it, it is not a toy. It is warm and crisp but not overly so. I have no complaints about it and would not change a thing, especially at the price point. Hook it up and record. Its just that simple. I use it for vocals mainly and record flat with no eq or compression in the chain. In conjunction with my tube preamp I get such a rich full sound. Your general opinion of this product. The price is very reasonable and the performance is amazing. What else do you need to know? For the money you'd be hard pressed to find something better.

Best in class

The frame and actual mic is extremely well made. The shock mount included is probably the best I have ever seen. Well its pretty featureless. Its a large mic with a 3 point xlr interface. It is nice that it came with the shock mount as those are around $200 stand alone. The mic stand connection fits both large and small size stands. Plug and go. Not need to do anything else. The best I have used other than the U87 for V/O. Your general opinion of this product. Really if you are in the market for a new mic in the V/O world then this is the one without having to jump up to the u87. People will argue that there are mics that sound almost the exact same. But your not going to get the same build quality and no you will not have the same rich warm sound that this mic gives.

Everything about this is amazing, the sound ,quality and the look is just unreal Plug and play, pretty simple!!!! I use a mic pre amp with mine so I had to tweak the pre amp to get the sound I was looking for. For those who don't use a pre amp, it's just plug and play. UREAL!!! This thing make you sound like the best.
