Audio Hardware : Neumann TLM 67 - macmusicTo celebrate its 80th anniversary, Neumann launches the TLM 67, a new large-diaphragm condenser microphone.

Based upon the legendary U 67, a classic of the 60's, the TLM 67 incorporates the K 67 capsule. On top of that the special new circuit design closely reproduces the sound characteristics of the U 67, without the use of tubes. Similar Neumann circuit technology has already proved very successful in the TLM 49.

Designed to be versatile, its three switchable directional characteristics (omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8), selectable 10 dB pre-attenuation, and high-pass filter permit detailed adjustments to be made depending upon the specific recording situation.
