Description

Neumann TLM 102 is a professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone engineered for studio recording, podcasting, voice-over work, streaming, and music production. Designed to provide detailed audio capture with smooth frequency response, this microphone delivers exceptional vocal clarity and accurate instrument reproduction for professional recording applications.

Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern and transformerless circuitry, the Neumann TLM 102 offers low self-noise, high SPL handling, and transparent sound quality ideal for vocals, acoustic guitars, percussion, amps, and broadcast content.

Its compact design makes it easy to position in studio environments while maintaining the premium sound quality Neumann microphones are known for worldwide. Whether recording vocals, instruments, podcasts, or livestreams, the Neumann TLM 102 provides reliable professional audio performance.

The mic utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to provide directional sound pickup in front of the capsule and strong rejection behavior behind it, yielding less background noise than most other polar responses. The integrated pop shield reduces breath noise and vocal plosives, though external pop filters are available for even more control. The TLM 102's transformerless output stage aids the mic in achieving a clean character with plenty of reach in the bass range, and it delivers resistance to electromagnetic interference.

Silky Tone

Neumann developed the TLM 102 as a universal talent for vocal and instrumental recordings. Its finely tuned sound signature especially accents the area of 8 to 12 kHz which is crucial for human voices. The recordings get a silky elegance typical of large-diaphragm microphones; the voice gets a noble presence in the overall mix. Nevertheless, the TLM 102 remains easy to handle and deals masterfully with critical consonants or sibilants, thanks to the integrated pop shield.

No Problem with High Volume

The TLM 102 also processes extreme volume and jumps in dynamics without distortion. That makes it an excellent choice for miking loud amps and drums. It reproduces sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB (e.g. very loud trumpet at a distance of about 4") with great clarity: open, detailed, with powerful bass and refined treble.

Neumann Sound on a Budget

The TLM 102 stands for legendary sound on a budget. Neumann remodeled the production and omitted non-vital functions such as pattern, pad, and low-cut switches. When you hear the TLM 102, you'll immediately notice what they did not omit: the Neumann sound, which remains faithful to its big role models.

Clear and Powerful

The TLM series works with a transformerless output stage to enable a clean and direct sound, very "close" to the acoustic source, and a powerful bass transmission all the way down to the lowest frequencies. Its transformerless output stage also makes the microphone resistant to electromagnetic fields and minimizes transmission losses.
