We developed the TLM 102 as a universal talent for vocal and instrumental recordings. Its finely defined sound signature particularly emphasizes the 8 to 12 kilohertz area, which is crucial for human voices. The recordings achieve a silky elegance typical of large diaphragm microphones; the voice obtains a noble presence in the general mix. Suddenly there is a natural and organic separation between your voice and your acoustic guitar, for example. Nevertheless, the TLM 102 remains easy to handle and masterfully handles critical or whistling changes: it has a built-in pop shield.
High volume? No problem
The TLM 102 also handles extreme volume and dynamic jumps without distortion. This makes it a great choice for capturing powerful amps and drums. Our “baby” reproduces sound pressure levels up to 144 dB (eg very loud trumpet at a distance of 10 cm) with great clarity: open, detailed, with powerful bass and refined highs.
Let's talk about the price
The TLM 102 is synonymous with its legendary sound at an incredible price. We redesigned the production and omitted rarely used functions (such as the pattern, pad, and low-cut switches). When you hear the TLM 102, you'll immediately notice what we haven't overlooked: the Neumann sound, which stays true to its larger models.
TLM: clear sound, powerful bass
Our TLM series works with a transformerless output stage. This means: a clear and direct sound, very "close" to the acoustic source, and a transmission of powerful bass down to the lowest frequencies. Its transformerless output stage also makes the microphone resistant to electromagnetic fields and minimizes transmission losses.
