Descripción
«A high-end microphone for top-quality recordings, particularly in the classical realm. Excellent transmission down to the lowest frequencies. Omnidirectional characteristic, with special capsule mounting.
The TLM 50 is a studio microphone with an unusual omnidirectional characteristic. The same way as in the legendary M 50, the capsule is mounted flush into the surface of a sphere.
This unique design gives the microphone a smooth rise in frequency response and an increased directivity in the upper frequency range. There the directional characteristic is almost comparable to a pressure gradient microphone. In the lower audio spectrum it performs more as a pressure transducer with a linear response down to the lowest frequencies.
In 1991 the TLM 50 received the MIX MAGAZINE TEC-Award. It is supplied with a swivel mount cable and an auditorium hanger.
Applications
The design of the TLM 50 is based on the legendary M 50 and has very unique acoustic features. It provides a tool for capturing both direct sound from the instruments and a balanced image of the reverberant environment and is therefore especially suited for stereo recordings with two main microphones. Acoustic features
The diaphragm of the pressure capsule is 12 mm in diameter and is only 5 µm thick. As a result it has a remarkably fast transient response. The diaphragm is made out of titanium, manufactured by Neumann in a proprietary electroplating process.
The headgrille is acoustically very transparent. Even extreme sound pressure levels do not at all affect the transducer‘s response. Of course, the headgrille also protects the microphone capsule from mechanical shock and serves as wind and pop screen. »
