This microphones is equal in a mode of application, but they are different in the technical specification. This microphones uses the classic Pearl capsule with rectangular dual membranes mounted back-to-back in its compact black chrome body. A variety of polar patterns may be obtained by bringing the output of each membrane into separate mixer channels. In effect they provides two discrete cardioid outputs which may be used simultaneously or independently one of the other to obtain cardioid, omni, figure of eight, 180 degrees coincident stereo and virtually any pattern in between by use of the mixing console. The beauty is the versatility which allow it to handle a variety of the tasks at hand. For instance; it may be used as the single stereo microphone for a direct to tape live recording in the afternoon, then be brought back to the studio and used as cardioid mic for an acoustic guitar during a multitrack session in the evening, and then used late a night as a figure-of-eight mic for recording background vocal duet.


 Versatility would mean nothing if they did not capture the nuances and life of the performance. By using the recangular capsule, the achieves a very flat and resonance free frequency response which extends far into the lower frequencies. This makes it an accurate yet flattering microphone for vocals and acoustic instruments, not to mention meeting the challenges of symphonic organ recordings. The sound is further enhanced by use of a transformerless preamplifier circuit which is extremely quiet. The circuit requires 48V phantom power which, when supplied, illuminates a LED. Best of all the microphones is very reasonably priced which makes it perhaps the best value of any microphones, today. Look at the versatility and listen to its sound. The TL 4 as well as the TL 44 will complement your current microphone collection no matter how wonderful it is and we believe it will soon become one of your most frequently used tools. The model TL 4 is, compared to the TL 44, an so-called "High-Level-Microphone" and provide an approximately 20 dB higher output level than conventional condenser microphones. It also means that this microphone request an input impedance of at least 6k ohm.
