The Neumann TLM 102 microphone is part of a new generation of Neumann studio microphones. Despite its small size, the TLM 102 incorporates all of Neumann's advanced technology. Its well-proportioned design and stylish protective grille ring make it visually appealing. The TLM 102 delivers impressive sound quality with its new large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid). It can handle a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB and has a quick response time, making it perfect for capturing percussion, drums, guitar amplifiers, and other loud instruments.
However, the TLM 102 truly shines when it comes to recording vocals and speech. It has a subtle midrange boost above 6 kHz, allowing for exceptional voice clarity in a mix. The frequency response below 6 kHz remains accurate, ensuring minimal distortion and a defined bass range. To reduce unwanted noise, the microphone capsule is securely mounted to the housing using elastic suspension. Additionally, the protective grille has an integrated pop filter, effectively preventing explosive consonant sounds.
The TLM 102 is an affordable option that suits various environments such as home studios, small-budget studios, project studios, and broadcasting studios. With its large diaphragm, cardioid polar pattern, compact design, and high maximum sound pressure level, it offers versatility and performance. The slight midrange boost above 6 kHz and transformerless circuit further enhance its capabilities.
