Safety instructions
The microphone has the intended purpose of con-
verting acoustic signals into electrical signals.
Connect the microphone only to microphone
inputs and devices which supply 48 V of phan-
tom power in accordance with IEC 61938.
Repairs and servicing are to be carried out only by
experienced, authorized service personnel. Un-
authorized opening or modification of the equip-
ment shall void the warranty.
Use the equipment only under the conditions
specified in the "Technical data" section.
Allow the equipment to adjust to the ambient tem-
perature before switching it on.
Do not operate the equipment if it has been dam-
aged during transport.
Always run cables in such a way that there is no
risk of tripping over them.
Unless required for operation, ensure that liquids
and electrically conductive objects are kept at a

Brief description
The TLM 67 is a condenser studio microphone
with transformerless (TLM) circuit technology the
directional characteristics omnidirectional, car-
dioid and figure-8.
Use of the K 67 capsule and a special circuit de-
sign with characteristics based on the original
EF 86 tube give the TLM 67 a sound quality simi-
lar to that of the U 67.
A switchable high-pass filter increases the lower
cutoff frequency, thus reducing the influence of
the proximity effect and structure-borne sound.
The pre-attenuation switch reduces the micro-
phone sensitivity by 10 dB, thus allowing the pro-
cessing of very high sound pressure levels.

Setup
Mounting the microphone
Attach the microphone to a stable, sturdy stand.
Use an elastic suspension, if necessary, for the
mechanical suppression of structure-borne noise.
For this purpose set the microphone into the inner
cage from above, and secure it to the inner cage
with the threaded nut. If required, use a wind-
screen or popscreen from our range of accesso-
ries in order to suppress wind or pop noise.
Connecting the microphone
Caution: An incorrect supply voltage can dama-
ge the microphone!
Attach the microphone only to a power supply
unit, a microphone preamplifier, a mixing console
or other equipment which has phantom power
with 48 V (P48), in accordance with IEC 61938.
Any P48 power supply equipment can be used
which supplies at least 3.5 mA per channel.
