NEUMANN TLM 67: Switchable Studio Microphone
The Neumann TLM 67 is extremely 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. In many respects,
the TLM 67 is based on the “workhorse” of the 1960s, the legendary
U 67. Like the Neumann U 67, the Neumann TLM 67 incorporates the Neumann
K 67 capsule. In addition, the special new circuit design closely reproduces
the sound characteristics of the classic Neumann U 67, without the use
of tubes. Similar Neumann circuit technology has already proved very successful
in the Neumann TLM 49.

The Neumann TLM 67 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone in the
classic Neumann style, with a unique dual-color design. The stylish
pearl-gray of the microphone body combined with the classic Neumann
nickel lends the microphone a touch of distinctive individuality.
The legendary, frequently imitated design of the Neumann U 67 was the
first to be developed by Neumann employees in collaboration with the
famous German designer, Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg. The design of the Neumann
TLM 67 represents a contemporary development of that of the Neumann
U 67, transferring its positive impact to the present era. The enhanced
exterior design thus links past and future microphone design trends.
On the occasion of its 80th anniversary, the Neumann company is honoring
its founder, Georg Neumann, with a three-dimensional metal emblem on
the front of the Neumann TLM 67. The distinctive Neumann attraction
is conveyed in every detail of the microphone.

- ACOUSTIC FEATURES: |
|
The Neumann TLM 67 microphone is addressed
from the side on which the Neumann logo is located.
A large wire mesh grille encloses the elastically mounted double diaphragm
capsule. The directional characteristics omnidirectional, cardioid or
figure-8 can be selected via a switch below the grille. The selected setting
is indicated by a symbol shown in a window above the switch. |

67 Microphone - ELECTRICAL FEATURES:
The letters “TLM” stand for “transformerless microphone”.
In the Neumann TLM 67, an electronic circuit is used rather than a conventional
output transformer. Like a transformer, the circuit ensures good common
mode rejection, effectively suppressing interference signals that affect
the balanced modulation line. The microphone can operate at sound pressure
levels of up to 105 dB without distortion, and has a dynamic range of
94 dB (A-weighted), without the use of the pre-attenuation switch.

67 Microphone - FILTER AND PRE-ATTENUATION:
The pre-attenuation switch on the back of the microphone can be used
to reduce transmission levels by approx. 10 dB. It should be used only
when there is a risk of overloading following devices due to very high
sound pressure levels. Use of the switch does not increase the dynamic
range of the microphone, but rather shifts it by 10 dB, to higher sound
pressure levels. The other switch on the back of the microphone can be
used to change the cutoff frequency of the built-in high-pass filter,
so as to suppress the effects of impact sound and wind noise, or to compensate
for the proximity effect.

67 Microphone -OPERATIONAL SAFETY:
Elastic mounting of the capsule supplies protection from the transmission
of structure-borne noise. If required, the Neumann EA 87 elastic suspension
and Neumann WS 87 windscreen are available as accessories, for further
suppression of structure-borne and wind noise. The Neumann PS 15 or Neumann
PS 20 popscreen can be used if the microphone is to be addressed at close
range.
