The Neumann TLM 102 features 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. 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.

The TLM 102 is available in black and nickel; a stand mount is included.

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
