Don't let its size fool you! Inside the TLM 102 sits a large-diaphragm, cardioid capsule that Neumann developed specifically for their next generation of microphones intended for a broad range of applications. Like the rest of the TLM series, the TLM 102 is built around low-noise circuitry and captures sound sources without adding extensive color. It particularly excels with vocals, and the ability to handle extreme SPLs makes the TLM 102 a truly versatile microphone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeumann TLM 102 Transformerless Cardioid Condenser Microphone at a Glance:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great way to naturally sweeten vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiny condenser with massive versatility\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003eTLM technology means low noise and high clarity\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA great way to naturally sweeten vocals\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 6kHz the frequency response of the TLM 102 extremely linear. But just after 6kHz, Neumann built in a slight boost to bolster the presence of the voice. This characteristic adds a quality often called \"sweetness\" to vocals that makes them jump out in the mix. The extra smoothness tends to enhance vocals by smoothing out a highly audible frequency range and adds some extra dimension to spoken recordings. The small stature of the TLM 102 is also a major asset in applications where maintaining a clear line of sight between the vocalist and the control room or or band is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTiny condenser with massive versatility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TLM 102 has an extremely flexible field of application and is affordable enough to find a place in professional and project studios alike, as well as in broadcast and live sound. Its largely linear frequency response extends across the audible spectrum from 20Hz to 20kHz. Since it doesn't take up as much space as a typical large-diaphragm condenser, it is easy to position the TLM 102 in front of guitar cabinets or use it as a drum mic. And there's no need to worry about high SPLs — the TLM 102 can easily handle up to 144dB, so loud sound sources are not off limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTLM technology means low noise and high clarity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe letters TLM stand for \"transformerless microphone.\" With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. TLM technology ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal. The capsule's built-in elastic suspension mechanism and pop screen in the TLM 102 also further diminish the noise of handling and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Neumann says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall size – big sound: Neumann’s most affordable large diaphragm microphone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Neumann quality at a very affordable price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery low self-noise\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003eHandles extreme SPLs without distortion\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated pop shield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmall, Smart \u0026amp; Powerful\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TLM 102 brings Neumann quality to even the smallest studio. Like its more expensive siblings, the TLM 102 combines technical excellence with a beautifully balanced sound for silky vocals, crisp guitars and powerful drums. With its cardioid pattern and an integrated pop screen the TLM 102 is a joy to use, even for novices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Perfect Introduction to the Neumann Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TLM 102 is Neumann’s most affordable large diaphragm condenser microphone. And, of course, it is a true Neumann, designed and manufactured in Germany with great attention to every detail. Compared to more expensive Neumann microphones, the TLM 102 is reduced in size and features, but Neumann would never compromise on sound quality. Despite its affordable price, the TLM 102 has a very attractive look with a gleaming chrome ring between a classic tapered headgrille and the famous Neumann diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSmart Looks – Smart Engineering\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TLM 102 sounds as smart as it looks! Its newly developed large diaphragm condenser capsule has all the qualities that made Neumann microphones the first choice in recording studios all over the world: a clear and focused sound with superb definition. Due to its remarkably linear response across the entire midrange, the TLM 102 is able to capture the authentic character of any voice or instrument, enhanced by a slight lift around 10 kHz for silky highs. The TLM 102 has gorgeous bottom end, too, enriched by the well-controlled proximity effect of a large diaphragm cardioid capsule. A joy for every singer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TLM 102’s technical performance is impressive, too. Its self-noise of only 12 dB-A is much lower than the ambient noise in even a very quiet room. At the same time, the TLM 102 is capable of handling extreme sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB free from distortion. As a member of the TLM range, the TLM 102 is equipped with a transformerless output stage, which means: powerful bass, even at highest signal levels, and a very direct sound without transmission losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBig Sound for Small Studios\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its enormous dynamic range of 132 dB and a remarkably uniform cardioid pickup pattern, the TLM 102 is a very easy to use microphone for home and project studios, and also for demanding live applications. Its uncolored sound and fast transient response make the TLM 102 an excellent choice for male and female vocals as well as a wide range of instruments, such as acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and double bass, drums, percussion, brass, saxophone. The TLM 102 is a true workhorse for any small studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact microphone with genuine Neumann large diaphragm
