Neumann TLM 193 Microphone

The Neumann TLM 193 is a large diaphragm microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. The microphone uses a transformerless circuit, featuring extremely low self noise and large dynamic range.

The polar response is very linear over a wide incidence angle. Thus, even signals coming from the side are reproduced faithfully and without coloration. The exposed surface of the microphone capsule is at ground potential, making it immune to typical interference and contamination. The microphone is supplied with a swivel mount.

Features:

• Large diaphragm cardioid microphone
• Pressure-gradient transducer
• Transformerless circuitry
• Extremely low noise: 10 dB (A)
• Includes swivel mount
• The "plug and play" microphone for professional studios, musicians and homerecording applications
• High-quality professional equipment for mid-size budgets
