Know before you buy
An omnidirectional pattern captures sound equally from all directions. This is ideal for professional vocal recording because it provides a natural, consistent sound even if the speaker moves their head slightly.
This model features a LEMO connector, which is a specific locking interface. Please verify that your wireless bodypack transmitter is compatible with LEMO connections before purchasing.
While the TL46B is built for professional performance, omnidirectional microphones are sensitive to wind noise. We recommend using a windscreen if you plan to record in outdoor or high-airflow environments.
The TL46B is designed with a low-profile, compact form factor and a matte black finish. It is intended to be easily concealed under clothing or placed unobtrusively on a lapel for professional video and broadcast applications.
Yes, as a condenser microphone, it requires power to operate. It is compatible with both phantom power and plug-in power sources typically provided by wireless bodypack transmitters.
