Neumann TLM 102 Mic Recording Condenser Cardioid

The Neumann TLM 102 is a versatile large diaphragm condenser mic that packs the classic Neumann sound into a compact, affordable package. Equipped with a custom-designed cardioid capsule and built-in pop filtering and shock mounting, the TLM 102 is the perfect microphone for home studios.

A NEW GENERATION OF STUDIO MICROPHONES

Neumann has a long-standing legacy of creating iconic studio microphones that are revered around the world for their superior sonic character. For decades, these mics have been locked up in professional recording studios. Now, with the TLM 102, even DIY musicians with the most modest of budgets can afford to experience the Neumann sound for themselves.

SIZE MATTERS

The TLM 102 is a highly portable condenser mic that fits in the palm of your hand. Perfect for rehearsals or mobile recording, the TLM 102 features a cardioid pickup pattern that helps eliminate ambient noise.

The TLM 102 uses all of the same design components of more expensive Neumann microphone, as well as a custom made-capsule. Designed with transformerless circuitry, the TLM 102 delivers a crisp, clear sound unlike any mic in its price range.

CLASSIC NEUMANN SOUND IN A COMPACT PACKAGE

The TLM 102 features built in pop filtering and shock mounting to help prevent plosives and unwanted interference while recording vocals. Featuring a slight presence boost above 6 kHz and ultra-fast transient response, the TLM 102 captures every detail of your performance.

Capable of withstanding signals up to 144 dB SPL, the TLM 102 is perfect for recording guitar cabs and loud drum kits. This highly flexible mic is perfect for recording intimate acoustic performances as well. And with a slick nickel finish and gleaming grille ring, the TLM 102 looks just as good as it sounds.

TLM LEGACY

The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology, the standard output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, this ensures superior common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the signal.

FEATURES:

• Large diaphragm microphone with cardioid directional characteristic (pressure gradient transducer)
• Compact, characteristic but smaller-scale Neumann design
• Very high maximum sound pressure level
• Slight presence boost above 6 kHz
• Transformerless circuitry
