Neumann - 'TLM 102'
Condenser Microphone
(Nickel)
Small Mic - Huge SoundThe Neumann TLM 102 was designed as a universal talent for vocal and instrumental recordings. With a finely tuned sound signature that especially captures the area of 8 to 12 kilohertz which is vital for human voices. The recordings get a smooth elegance which is standard for large diaphragm microphones; the voice gets a superior presence in the overall mix. For example, The TLM 102 works great for capturing the natural, organic separation between your vocal and your acoustic guitar. The TLM 102 also remains easy to handle and deals masterfully with critical consonants or sibilants thanks to its integrated pop shield.

Renowned Neumann Quality
High Volume? No ProblemThe TLM 102 processes extreme volume and changes in dynamics without distortion, making it an excellent choice for miking loud amps and drums and reproduces sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB (e.g. very loud trumpet at a distance of 10 cm) with great clarity: open, detailed, with powerful bass and detailed treble.
About the PriceThe TLM 102 stands for legendary sound at an impressive price range. With remodeled production and omitted rarely used functions (such as pattern, pad, and low cut switches). When you hear the TLM 102, you’ll immediately notice that the Neumann sound remains faithful to its bigger models.
Clear Sound, Powerful BassThe TLM series works with a transformerless output stage, so a clean and direct sound, very “close” to the acoustic source, and a powerful bass transmission all the way down to the lowest frequencies. Its transformerless output stage also makes the microphone resistant to electromagnetic fields and reduces transmission losses.
