Neumann TLM67

This "TransformerLess Microphone" incorporates Neumann's K 67 capsule into a new circuit design that emulates the U 67, without using tubes. Features 3 switchable polar patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8), selectable 10dB attenuation, and a hi-pass filter. The electronic circuit that replaces the transformer in the mic suppresses interference signals and ensures good common mode rejection. Intended for vocal performance, but suitable for orchestral and individual instrument recordings as well.
