## Description

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 capsule (cardioid) clocks a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, permiting the recording 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 capsule 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 recording. Due to its price and flexible field of application, the TLM 102 is ideal for home recording and project studio, as well the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority. The TLM 102 is available in black and nickel; a stand mount is included.

Review: Recommended - Excellent microphone, studio quality, sound perfect and original to the sound source
Review: Entry level Neumann - What can I say, it’s a Neumann. desertcart had a flash sale on it so I pulled the trigger. It’s a small mic with a big sound. If your recording space is quiet enough, this mic will hold it’s own with more expensive mics

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sounding microphone
*by D***H on August 21, 2019*

I've been a performance/recording musician for over 40 yrs. and recorded on really expensive studio mics, but never in my home studio...musicians can't afford those things. The best sounding vocal/all around mic I've owned up to this point is a Sennheiser MD 421. It always puts everything else under $700 to shame, especially for vocals and snare...dynamic or condenser...so that's what I compared the Neumann 102 to yesterday when it arrived. I kinda expected it to sound a lot like the 421, maybe more airy and bright because it's a condenser mic (especially after reading the snippety comment about not being any better than a $200 mic; although I do agree about Sam Ash being horrible to deal with)...anyway, I was not expecting such a huge difference in sound quality. I think I've finally found the open/airy/pin-drop-yet ballsy/reasonably priced mic I've been looking for all these years. I tested both mics with vocals and acoustic guitar and according to my ears, the Nueman just blew the Sennheiser out of the water on both accounts. I don't really expect it to outdo the 421 on snare drum, but I bet the 102 would be great along with it for double miking. I'm sure some may disagree and say I shouldn't have used the Sennheiser for comparison...but then again lots of people still think they can get away with a Shure 58 for vocals and 57 for snare...or that a Porsche is the best car. Please don't even think about using a Shure under $2,000 or Rode (at any price) for comparison....maybe one of AKG's $1,500+ mics. Just based on quick ear tests, which is what matters to me, the Neumann 102 is by far the best microphone I've ever used under $1,000. Just make sure it's sold and fulfilled by Amazon so you can return it if it shows up pre-opened/used/box beat to hell; which has become so common with all online music stores
