help Pearlman TM-1 FAQ
Is the Pearlman TM-1 a FET microphone or a tube microphone?
The TM-1 is a tube condenser, not a FET microphone. Its hand-wired circuit uses an EF80-family tube, a large-diaphragm capsule, and a Cinemag output transformer.
Does the Pearlman TM-1 sound like a Neumann U 47?
The TM-1 was designed to evoke the large, warm presentation associated with the Neumann U 47, although it is not a circuit-for-circuit clone. Pearlman uses a 6-micron gold-sputtered capsule and an EF80 tube rather than the U 47's original VF14.
What comes with a new Pearlman TM-1?
Pearlman supplies the microphone with its dedicated power supply, tube microphone cable, shockmount, and aluminum case. The cable uses Neutrik connectors and Mogami cable, so the proprietary accessories needed to operate it are included.
What sources suit the Pearlman TM-1 best?
The TM-1 is primarily associated with lead vocals, where its large-diaphragm tube design produces a full and substantial sound. It is also used on acoustic guitar and other sources that benefit from a detailed but less clinical alternative to small-diaphragm models such as the AKG C451.
