it really has almost nothing to do with an m49 (no AC701, cardioid only, etc) but i think $1500 is the MSRP. meaning it could very well sell for cheaper. meaning they're gonna sell a half a billion of this mic. which is exactly why they made it.

Neumann TLM 49

This is a large diaphragm condenser, K49 capsule, in the body of the M 150 Tube. It's a transformerless design with a tube simulation circuit that creates even order harmonics in the same way that tube microphones do - minus the cost and the accessory needs of a tube microphone. Comments at recently tested studios say it sounds "smooth, full, creamy" and was inevitably compared to the older microphones.

The TLM 49 ships in a carton with the shockmount, the EA 3. The heft and weight of the microphone was commented on specifically, as was the body style. Test customers loved that the mic looked vintage and sounded "vintage". They also revelled in the fact that there is no additional cabling or power supply needed, and that the shockmount came with the microphone!!

MSRP is 1699, most places are selling them for 1499.

I like the vintage look, and I am in the market for a Neumann for voiceover and some vocal, so this is of interest to me. That said, I am very wary of the TLM line of mics, so I will be putting this model through quite a bit of testing when it comes out before I make my decision on whether or not to purchase one.
