Detail 01
Omni / cardioid / figure-8 switch
Three placement approaches from one body — close-up isolation, full room capture, or two sources facing each other.

NeumannTLM 67 Condenser Microphone
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser in Neumann's TLM line. For a studio wanting three patterns and low noise in one mic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vocals where 11 dB-A self-noise keeps quiet passages clean
- Stereo pairs and room capture using omni or figure-8
- Studios wanting one mic across vocals, acoustic and amps
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Untreated rooms — a condenser this sensitive exposes reflections
- Live stage use where a dynamic handles handling noise better
- Anyone without a phantom-powered preamp in the chain
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Equivalent noise 16/11/17 dB-A
Cardioid is the quietest at 11 dB-A. Whispered vocals and distant sources stay above the mic's own hiss.
Detail 03
P48 phantom power
Requires 48V from your interface or preamp. Plug-in power or a bare mixer input will not run it.
Detail 04
Pressure gradient transducer, 20 Hz–20 kHz
Full-range pickup with proximity effect in cardioid and figure-8 — move closer and the low end swells.
Detail 05
Sensitivity 10/18/9 mV/Pa
Omni is the hottest output. On cardioid and figure-8 you will push the preamp gain a little harder.
Detail 06
50 ohm output into 1 kohm load
Standard low-impedance output. It drives long XLR runs and mates with any normal mic preamp input.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs 48V phantom power — check your interface has it
- 02Stand, shockmount, XLR cable and pop filter are separate
- 03At 2.2 inch diameter and 200 mm long, check your shockmount fits
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between the three patterns?
Cardioid rejects the rear for isolation, omni picks up all around for room sound, figure-8 takes front and back while rejecting the sides.
02Does it need phantom power?
Yes, P48. Any interface, mixer or preamp with a 48V switch will work. Without it, the mic produces no output.
03Is it quiet enough for soft sources?
Self-noise is 11 dB-A in cardioid, 16 in omni and 17 in figure-8. Quiet vocals and fingerpicked acoustic stay above the noise floor.
04What connector does it use?
XLR 3F, so a standard XLR mic cable. Output impedance is 50 ohms into a 1 kohm load, matching normal preamp inputs.
