Application Hints
Vocal microphone: Lends richness, power and brilliance to the
voice, while remaining balanced and transparent
Announcer’s microphone for broadcasting, dubbing and voice-
overs
Spot microphone and for recording e.g. strings, piano and guitar
These are just some of the most common applications. We
recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use
from this microphone.
Noise signals which affect the balanced modulation line are
therefore effectively suppressed. The microphone can oper-
ate at sound pressure levels of up to 140 dB, and provides a
dynamic range of 117 dB (A-weighted).
Operational reliability
The entire interior structure is mounted elastically, to pre-
vent the transmission of structure-borne noise. In addition,
the capsule is mounted with a rubber shock mount.
Due to the wide frequency response, the TLM 49 can also
transmit extremely low-frequency signals without coloration.
Of course this means that the microphone is also sensitive
to noise signals such as vibration noise and wind noise in this
frequency range. The TLM 49 is therefore supplied with the
elastic suspension EA 3, which effectively protects the mi-
crophone from structure-borne noise. If the microphone is
addressed at extremely close range, pop screen PS 15 or
PS 20 a can be used in front of the microphone to provide
protection against plosive sounds.
