A Modern Development of the Classic U 67!

The Neumann TLM 67 contains the legendary number "67" in its name for good reason. Indeed, the TLM 67 is Neumann's contemporary development of the studio classic U 67. Closely reproducing all the sound characteristics of the famous 1960s staple, the TLM 67 incorporates the same K 67 capsule as the U 67, with TLM 49 tube circuit. This particular TLM 67 "Set Z" comes with its own professional shockmount. An extremely versatile three-pattern, large-diaphragm condenser microphone, take a piece of Neumann - and recording - history into your studio with the TLM 67.

Today's development of a classic

Along with the numbers "47" and "87," the number "67" resonates within studio professionals the world over. All classics in their own right, The elite Neumann U 47, U 67, and U 87 have attended some of the most legendary recording sessions in music history. Today, Neumann gives us a contemporary development of the classic U 67 in the form of the TLM 67. Using the same K 67 capsule as the U 67, the TLM 67 employs a transformerless design - the same circuitry proved extremely successful with the TLM 49.

A versatile three-pattern condenser

The TLM 67 maintains all the hallmark qualities of the U 67, including its versatility. Switchable between three patterns - omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight - the TLM 67 is a perfect vocal microphone for all types of music and spoken voice. It's also excellent as a main microphone and as a spot mic for individual instruments.

Classic Neumann look with commemorative emblem

The TLM 67 is all-Neumann in its presence, yet features a new and elegant dual-color pearl-gray/nickel exterior. What's more, on the occasion of its 80th anniversary Neumann pays honor to founder, Georg Neumann, with a three-dimensional metal emblem adorning the front of the TLM 67.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Amazing Out of The Box

I got this mic about a month ago and have put a few hours in it with various sources.

I'll just say the day I got it, I threw it up in front of an acoustic, set as a mono overhead for drums, vocals, and guitar amp. I recorded through a UA LA610 MKII and compressed going in.

I just set the levels and added some reverb and the song basically mixed itself. I've never worked with an easier mic where sources just sat in the mix with little to no effort. Even my U47 clone (Golden Age) sometimes needs a little tweaking or more precise mic placement.

The Sound
Super smooth. No harsh transients or bumps. Not as thick in the low end as say a 47 or ribbon. No weird mid frequencies that makes the mic sound like it's going through a wah wah pedal. And doesn't suffer the wet blanket effect where it sounds like the mic is covered with a towel. On the other side, it doesn't have the old imported mic harsh bright top end you'll find on budget mics.

It plays well with other mics too. If you pair with a ribbon or a Shure SM81 on acoustic, it sounds fantastic.

This is now a go to mic for me and it makes recording fun and effortless. I love it.

Love this thing!

I used to work extensively with a pair of vintage U87i microphones, using them on everything from voice over work to pianos and drums. The TLM 67 reminds me of the old U87i. I think it's in the flatter top end. This is my favorite mic for my voice, because it brings out an amazing richness and depth to my baritone, while never sounding brittle or needing de-essing.

Aside from male vocals (I've used it on other artists too), it also excels on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and especially drums. Since I only have one (for now), I've used it as a mono kit mic placed roughly 5 feet in front of the kit at Tom level with excellent results. I've also used it in Figure 8 as a room mic for bongos and cajon.

If I'm being honest, I would have rather had the tube emulation on a circuit switch, where I can control if and when I want it. In most music, I don't notice an issue at all, but in recording voice overs, I do hear the distortion when I'd rather the audio remain clean. I would like to thank another reviewer here, who suggested this emulation circuit is after the -10db pad. In practice, it does indeed seem to "fix" this issue, but ideally I go to other mics for critical clean work.

Great for rap / hip-hop vocals

I bought the TLM 67 for use as my main vocal microphone, and I almost exclusively use it to record rap/hip-hop vocals. With other mics I've had (ex: Shure KSM 32, Telefunken Copperhead, Shure SM7B, Manley Ref C) I used to spend so much time in post-production taming sibilance at the end of the mixing process...but not with this mic! It sounds big, warm, smooth, but still strong and in-your-face. My upfront hardware chain for rap vocals is TLM67 - Neve Shelford Channel Pre - Manley ELOP+ compressor - UAD Apollo Quad line in...from there just some plugins like SSL or API EQ, Tape (like the Empirical slabs FATSO Plugin), with sends for delay/reverb/Aphex Exciter and u are good! Thanks to Sweetwater for your help along the way in discussing my options - this mic is a keeper!

Incredible

I will start with saying I am a pro engineer with a sub par voice, in the past I have used the Blue Blueberry and the AKG C414, which are both solid. Overall, I needed something that would add warmth to my lousy brittle sounding voice, but also make it sit in the mix perfectly. I was convinced I was never going to be able to achieve this, but I figured I would try one more mic incase. I debated either the Manley Reference Mic, or this Neumann TLM 67, since the Neumann was a tad cheaper and had good reviews I figured what the heck, I can send it back if I didn't notice a difference, which was what I was expecting unfortunately.

After tracking drums with this mic (I placed the mic 6 feet from the kit, rack tom level) I was BLOWN away, the punch and crisp out of this mic was just amazingggg, blew away the Blueberry, which was my prior "in front of the kit" room mic.

Now onto vocals, I was again convinced I wouldn't notice much of a difference with this mic from my AKG C414, man was I WRONG. This mic in incredible, it did EXACTLY what I had hoped for, but didn't expect for my crappy sounding voice. This was the first time I was able to hear and distinguish literally every word I've ever sang, and I have been recording and mixing my own songs for 25+ years. The eq of this mic, is just perfect…I did not have to add much eq after the fact, if any… my vocals sounded super fat, round, in your face, and perfectly crisp, and my voice sucksssssss. I am still on cloud 9 thinking about how awesome this mic is and how much BETTER it made my voice sound.

Overall, you get what you pay for….there aren't many "mid range pro mics" out there (mid range = price range $1200-$2000) so its either spend $1000-ish for a solid AKG, Shure, Blue, ect ect…or you have to jump up to the $2500+ range to get better results, which can be harsh for us middle class rockers, to get to the next level. I cant even imagine how awesome this mic is going to sound on acoustic guitars, which I haven't tried yet. If you are looking for a pro sound and have a larger budget than normal, THIS IS THE MIC, this thing is awesomeeeeee and I will forever stand by Neumann now for really making my voice sound better, even though I was told and agreed with, that wasn't possible with any mic. If you are on the fence about the worth of upgrading from the $1000 mic range to the $2000+ range, you will not be disappointed. If you snag the TLM 67, its really that good, even if you wear hearing aids, you will be able to hear the sonic qualities from this mic, its that good!!!!

I hope this review helps you make the right choice for you! Also Delvin Wolf is THE BEST, thanks for the amazing service and recommendations, as always…cheers from NJ!

I went somewhere and checked out the 87 and I prefer the 67 for my deep voice the mic is flat and I add eq to taste for the perfect recordings, very natural sounding would recommend!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Kenny Bergle

Owning a pair of M149s, I thought I was done buying large-diaphragm mics.  Silly me!  The TLM 67 sounds so great, it's now my #1 go-to vocal mic for the high-profile studio client that wants the best in world-class studio sound. Also it's perfect, although slightly counter-intuitive, for the less experienced recordist as it overcomes rookie mistakes by virtue of the amazing sound it transduces. The TLM67 is the best investment possible in vocal recording, besides voice lessons!  (It's also tremendous sounding on guitar cabinets!)
