Thanks to its detailed, warm, yet transparent sound, Neumann has become the standard for studio microphones over the past few decades. They are found in many professional studios, but the high price makes these microphones less common in home studios. The TLM 102 makes a difference as it is a compact yet relatively affordable microphone that delivers the true Neumann sound. With a linear frequency response and a slight high-shelf starting at 6 kHz, this microphone is excellent for speech or vocals. The TLM 102 is equipped with a specially designed large diaphragm capsule that can handle sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB without distortion, making it ideal for drums and percussion as well. In addition to the TLM 102 microphone, the studio set also includes the appropriate shock mount for stable attachment.
