Pearl Microphone Laboratory TL 66

Description

The TL 66 is an electret condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern.

Unlike many of Pearl’s products, the TL 66 does not use the company’s trademark rectangular membrane. Rather, the mic uses an traditional round capsule obtained from a third party.

Although some marketing material claims the TL66 is available in either Cardioid or Omni, as of 2010 the omni version is out of production.

The Pearl Microphone Laboratory TL 66 is also known as: TL66.
