Product Description
-------------------
The TLM 102 defines a new generation of Neumann studio
microphone. It sets a new performance and value standard for
microphones at this price. It's 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 delivers
impressive sound. It's newly developed large-diaphragm
(cardioid) clocks a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB,
permiting the of percussion, drums, and amps at
extremely high output levels. Acoustic instruments benefit from
the exceptionally fast transient response of the TLM 102. Where
the TLM102 really shines is with vocals and speech. It has a
slight boost above 6 kHz providing excellent vocal presence in an
overall mix. Up to 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely
linear, ensuring minimal coloration and a clearly defined,
extended bass range. The has an elastic suspension system
reducing handling and structure-borne noise. A pop screen
integrated into the grille serves to suppress plosives in vocal
and speech . Due to its price and flexible field of
application, the TLM 102 is ideal for home and project
studio, as well the broadcasting area, especially when clear
lines of to the speakers are a priority. The TLM 102 is
available in black and nickel; a stand is included.
