With its classic proportions and fresh, modern design, it perfectly embodies the Neumann philosophy: innovation based on tradition. This model features an elegant black finish,as does the included shockmount.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTransformerless circuitry in the TLM 107 permits a high degree of linearity and a large dynamic range. It allows for high-level handling while simultaneously featuring a self-noise of only 10 dB-A. The low cut linear, 40 Hz, and 100 Hz settings are intended for standard recording situations. The maximum sound pressure level of 141 dB SPL can be increased to 153 dB SPL via pre-attenuation, which enables the TLM 107 to transmit the sound of even the loudest instruments without distortion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"featuresHeading\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultipattern large diaphragm microphone with 5 polar patterns (omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-eight)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNavigation switch with LED illuminated display for polar pattern, PAD and low cut\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSound characteristics: transparent, natural reproduction of human voice, outstanding transient response\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced sound in all 5 polar pattern settings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStand mount included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuspension shockmount included\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35115231248538,"sku":"TLM 107 STUDIOSET BK","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/1291\/7402\/products\/download__77241.png?v=1602001599"},{"product_id":"neumann-u-67-set","title":"Neumann u 67 Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nickel \u003cspan\u003eNeumann U 67 Set\u003c\/span\u003e is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed as a faithful reissue of the legendary vintage U 67 for vocalists, musicians, and recording engineers in home, project, and commercial studios.

It features three directional patterns, including omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8. These are selectable with a switch below the head grille and the window above this switch shows the symbol of the selected characteristic. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion. The low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe U 87 Ai is used as a main microphone for orchestra recordings, as a spot microphone for single instruments, and extensively as a vocal microphone for all types of music and speech.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe U 87 Ai is addressed from the front. The frequency response of the cardioid and figure-8 directional characteristics are very flat for frontal sound incidence, even in the upper frequency range. The microphone can be used very close to a sound source without the sound becoming unnaturally harsh. By means of a high-pass filter, interference through subsonic and low frequencies are reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe circuitry increases operational headroom of the U 87 Ai by supplying the bias voltages for the capsule through a reduced resistance. The result is a higher sensitivity of 10 dB for identical sound pressure levels, and an improved S\/N ratio of 3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA switch located at the rear attenuates the sensitivity by 10 dB.

These are mounted vertically and rotate against each other. The directional polar patterns can be selected separately for each capsule. The capsules operate independently from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe microphone consists of the amplifier section and the capsule head. The amplifier section contains two microphone amplifiers operating independently from each other. They have an extremely low self-noise. Two completely separate microphone capsules are positioned closely above each other within the capsule head. Their diaphragms are made out of gold-sputtered polyester film. The upper capsule rotates against the lower one over a range of 270°. Color markings on the lower capsule system help to identify the angle by which the upper capsule has been rotated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen sound waves reach the microphone capsules from different directions they will generate audio signals with different intensity only, but not with time differences, since the capsules are in close proximity and the sound arrives at both capsules simultaneously. The result is an intensity stereo signal that can be summed together for excellent mono compatibility without causing interference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe USM 69 i has two built-in rotary switches. The five polar patterns of both capsules can be selected at the microphone itself. Therefore, no special AC power-supply units or powering adapters are necessary. The two outputs attach directly to any 48V phantom-powered connectors. In addition to the usual polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8), this microphone has a hypercardioid and a wide-angle cardioid pattern. A built-in DC converter generates the required capsule-polarizing voltages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe amplifiers feature high-output capability and extremely low self-noise. Distant sound sources, as well as very loud sound sources at close range can therefore be recorded without any problem. Each amplifier has an active filter. It effectively suppresses subsonic interference as caused by wind or structure-borne noise. At the same time, the filter prevents the output transformers from overloading through very low-frequency energy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe microphones may also be used as completely independent mono microphones. There are many applications when it is important to have a second mono microphone as a backup, or when the outputs of microphones with different polar-response characteristics must be available simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe outputs of the two microphone channels can be linked (cascaded). In addition to the individual directional patterns, other characteristics are available through the combination of both channels. Both microphone systems operate completely independent from each other. The second amplifier will be unaffected, even in case of a faulty ground of the supply voltage for one of the channels, or a short circuit in one of the outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe microphone is reliable in mono usage, even if only one of the systems is operated and connected. Its simple and redundant circuitry provides a low failure rate. Should the DC converter ever fail, a diode circuit within the microphone ensures that both systems will remain operational. The cardioid pattern is automatically chosen. The sensitivity is reduced by 3 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35115233116314,"sku":"USM 69 i Set","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/1291\/7402\/products\/1516022545_146367__71351.jpg?v=1602001602"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0422\/1291\/7402\/collections\/058fe97a38fbd3a13a6a1a8e483cafa4.jpg?v=1764489179","url":"https:\/\/www.305broadcast.com\/collections\/newmann.oembed","provider":"305broadcast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
