The Neumann TLM 102 defines a new generation of Neumann studio microphones. This applies not only to the design of the microphone but also to the price.
The reduced overall size contributes to an exceptionally compact appearance, which unites all of the typical design components of a Neumann microphone. The harmonious proportions and gleaming grille ring ensure that even at first glance, the TLM 102 attracts attention.
The TLM 102 is impressive in terms of sound: In the interior is a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, which permits the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources, for example. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM 102. However its most important applications are in the realm of vocals and speech; a slight boost above 6 kHz provides for excellent presence of the voice in the overall mix. Up to 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely linear, ensuring minimal coloration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule has an elastic suspension for the suppression of structure-borne noise. A pop screen integrated into the grille serves to suppress plosives in vocal and speech recording.
Due to its price and flexible field of application, the TLM 102 is ideal for the home recording and project studio sector, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority.

Love the mic. Seems small but it packs a punch! Had my old mic quit on me after 7 years of reliable service and Francois had this delivered to me in no time at all (He even stopped me from accidentally getting the wrong model since I needed the Shock Lire plus
Mount).
Thank-you!

Superbe et naturel
J'ai deux TLM102 que j'adore, ils sont neutres, et class. Pas boostés dans les highs comme un TLM103. Comme overheads ils sont excellents, ils sont bons à beaucoup de choses en fait, et ils sont capables de prendre pas mal de décibels. Ne vous laissez pas berner par leur prix, ce sont les Neumann les moins chers mais ils ne sont pas cheaps dutout. Lire plus
Le son est très équilibré sur toute la plage de fréquence et on y retrouve toujours le raffinement Neumann indémodable. Une grosse coche au dessus de tous les mics prosumers et autres babioles avec des lumières dedans...
