Neumann celebrates its 80th anniversary with the launch of the TLM 67
In the world of studio microphones, the numbers "47", "67" and "87" have
associations that inspire enthusiasm among professionals. It is no coincidence that
the name of the new TLM 67 contains the number "67". In many respects, the TLM 67 is
based on the "workhorse" of the 1960s, the legendary U 67. Like the U 67, the TLM 67
incorporates the K 67 capsule. In addition, the special new circuit design closely
reproduces the sound characteristics of the classic U 67, without the use of tubes.
Similar Neumann circuit technology has already proved very successful in the TLM 49.
The 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.
The TLM 67 introduces a novel Neumann dual-color design. The pearl-gray of the
microphone body combined with the classic Neumann nickel lends the microphone a
touch of distinctive individuality. 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 TLM 67.
