    The 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.
    The TLM 49 is inspired by the legendary M49 and M50 microphones, and the sound design of the TLM 49 will inevitably be compared to the M4 and U47 classic microphones. By combining its retro look with proven Neumann transformerless circuit technology, this microphone ensures low self-noise and the use of high gain levels. It is supplied as a set, with an elastic suspension, the EA 3.

    Neumann TLM49 Features

    • Sound profile optimized for vocal performance
    • Pressure gradient transducer with the large-diaphragm capsule of the legendary U 47
    • Cardiod characteristic
    • Retro design
    • Transformerless output circuitry
    • Acoustically very open wire mesh headgrille
    • Complete set with elastic suspension
    TLM49 Applications
    During 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.

    Polar Patterns
    The large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM 49 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. The 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.

    Acoustic Features
    The 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. The capsule is enclosed by a large microphone headgrille, which is acoustically very open and is hence neutral with regard to the sound.

    Electrical Features
    The letters TLM stand for transformerless microphone. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal.

    Noise 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).

    Operational Reliability
    The entire interior structure is mounted elastically, to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise. In addition, the capsule is mounted with a rubber shock mount. Due to the wide frequency response, the TLM 49 can also transmit extremely low-frequency signals without coloration.

    Of course this means that the microphone is also sensitive to noise signals such as vibration noise and wind noise in this frequency range. The TLM 49 is therefore supplied with the elastic suspension EA 3, which effectively protects the microphone from structure-borne noise. If the microphone is addressed at extremely close range, pop screen PS 15 or PS 20 a can be used in front of the microphone to provide protection against plosive sounds.

    TLM49 Application Hints
    • Vocal microphone: Lends richness, power and brilliance to the voice, while remaining balanced and transparent
    • Announcer’s microphone for broadcasting, dubbing and voiceovers
    • Spot microphone and for recording e.g. strings, piano and guitar
      These are just some of the most common applications. Neumann recommends additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone.
