Neumann 399005 TLM 102 W Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Shockmount (White)
Bundled with a vibration-reducing shockmount and a compact stand mount, the white Neumann TLM 102 W large-diaphragm condenser microphone brings renowned Neumann sound quality to a price point that’s inclusive to home producers, working musicians, and independent singer-songwriters. The capsule’s high SPL rating of 144 dB permits the recording of percussion, drums, amplifiers, and other loud sound sources clearly and without distortion. With its 8 to 12 kHz treble boost, the TLM 102 imparts a silky vocal presence while avoiding pronounced sibilance.
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.
