Neumann Tlm 67 Condenser Microphone $2199.95 The Neumann TLM 67 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone in the classic Neumann style. The stylish pearl-gray of the microphone body combined with the classic Neumann nickel lends the TLM 67 microphone a touch of distinctive individuality.The letters TLM stand for transformerless microphone. In the Neumann TLM 67 mic, 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 TLM 67 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.The Neumann TLM 67 is an extremely versatile microphone. Its 3 switchable directional modes (omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8), selectable 10 dB pre-attenuation and high-pass filter permit detailed adjustments, depending on your recording needs.In the world of studio microphones, the numbers 47, 67 and 87 have associations that inspire enthusiasm among professionals. The classic Neumann U 67 was the successor to the famed U 47, which was Sir George Martin's favorite mic for recording the Beatles, and the U 87 has become the most used vocal mic in recording history. It is no coincidence that the name of the new Neumann TLM 67 microphone contains the number 67. In many respects, the Neumann TLM 67 mic is based on the workhorse mic of the 1960s: the legendary Neumann U 67 mic. Like the U 67, the Neumann TLM 67 incorporates Neumann's K 67 capsule. In addition, the special new circuit design closely reproduces the sound characteristics of the classic U 67 mic, without the use of tubes. The legendary and 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 microphone represents a contemporary development of that of the 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 badge on the front of the TLM 67 microphone. The distinctive Neumann attraction is conveyed in every detail of the microphone.ApplicationsDue to its extensive control features, the TLM 67 is suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition to its primary role as a vocal microphone for all types of music and spoken voice, in orchestral recordings the TLM 67 can be used as a main microphone and as a spot microphone for individual instruments.Acoustic featuresThe 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 |

Crown Pcc130sw Boundary Microphone $299 The CROWN PCC-130SW is a surface-mount small supercardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and teleconferencing. With its small size it is less conspicuous on a conference table than comparable mics and because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-130SW minimizes background noise and feedback. The microphone uses the principle of phase coherency achieved by mounting a small-diameter mic capsule very near a boundary. Direct and reflected sound waves arrive at the mic in-phase, and add coherently. This enhances sensitivity, clarity and reach. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line power module. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130SW has a low-impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. This inconspicuous boundary mic also features a silent-operating membrane switch that is normally off. This switch can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The 130SW is intended for multiple-microphone use on a conference table where each person wants control of his or her microphone. The microphone attenuates 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130SW will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications. Included with each PCC-130SW is a 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded microphone able with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output). Supercardioid polar pattern reduces background noise and provides an impressive gain-before-feedback CROWN PCC technologie (phase coherent cardioid) prevents phase interference due to table sound reflections Programmable, silent operating on/off membrane switch Wide and smooth frequency response Exceptional performance and small size Three-position bass-tilt switch Applications: Houses of worship Conferencing Lectern Distance learning Security Courtrooms |

Famous Microphones That Have Become Part Of Vintage Microphones
Microphones have undergone a lot of changes over the years. Some designs stayed and others became a part of vintage microphones. Microphone, popularly known as mike or mic, is one of the primary elements in an audio or music system.
The main job of the mic is to convert sound into an electrical signal. It has a large number of applications as in music production system, telephone, hearing aid, motion picture production, etc.
Earlier, microphones were known as transmitters. In 1978, Thomas Alva Edison made the first commercial microphone. It was a type of carbon microphone. Later, in Bell Laboratories in 1962, a new type of capacitor microphone was invented.
There were a number of microphones which have made their marks over the last few decades. Some of the names went on to create history but now they are a part of the vintage microphones.
-Altec model 647
-American model D76
-RCA KB-1A, MI-11000
-RCA KN-3A, MI-3045
-RCA carbon type 1
-RCA model BK-7, MI-11016
-Amperite model R80L
-Bruno labs RV-3
-General Electric or Westinghouse carbon or condenser microphones
-Remler, Turner, or Jenkins-Adair condenser microphones
-Western Electric carbon transmitter model 369
-Western Electric condenser housing model 9-A
-Turner model 51D
-Western Electric carbon transmitter model 273
The History & Development of Vintage Microphones
The early 1930s saw the movie industry trying out new technology to record musical scores. However, the range of microphones offered was low. In came the MGM Studios, in Culver City, CA, to try out the newly invented cardioid mic made by the Siemens Co, Germany. It was used to make "Naughty Marietta" with the likes of Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy.
Dynamic or condenser microphones were much smaller in size than the Siemens' version of the cardioid mic. There was a constant effort made to reduce the size of the microphones to facilitate its use.
James Cannon of Cannon Electric Co. in Los Angeles, CA, was told to build up a connector for the mic. His creation was a 6 pin connector which later on became the prototype of P-type connector, which turned out to be an instantaneous success. 3 conductor connector for camera cable was made then which put Cannon plug to history from 1929 onwards.
Mason and Marshall of the Bell Laboratories made a blueprint of a tubular microphone in 1939. The design was such that it utilized a single element and acoustical tubes of different sizes. It helped in the pickup of directional music. The tubular design was the forerunner of the modern day mics.
Electret condenser microphone is a part of the vintage microphones as it has a history dating back to 1928. It used polarized wax plates. Bogen offered this type commercially under the name Voltage Velotron. The WWII saw the development of wax electret mikes. The Japanese used it in their field devices. However, they did not become very popular due to their instability.
In 1962-1965 the electret mics got their diaphragm made of a metalized thin foil of mylar or teflon. Sony, in 1968, created the then finest electret condenser microphone. That too has now moved into vintage microphones.
