Neumann TLM 102 bk
The Neumann TLM 102 bk is a compact large-diaphragm condenser microphone that delivers the world-renowned Neumann sound in a modern, versatile, and affordable design. With its smooth frequency response, impressive dynamic range, and outstanding clarity, the TLM 102 is ideal for vocals, instruments, and broadcast applications — both in professional studios and home recording setups.
Featuring a cardioid polar pattern and a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule, the TLM 102 captures sound with exceptional precision while effectively reducing unwanted room reflections and background noise. Its gentle presence boost around 6 kHz adds clarity and detail to vocals, making them stand out naturally in the mix without harshness or sibilance.
The microphone’s transformerless circuit design ensures clean, low-noise performance with high SPL handling of up to 144 dB, allowing it to record loud sources such as drums and guitar amplifiers with pristine fidelity. The stylish black finish (bk) and compact body make the TLM 102 both elegant and durable — perfect for modern studios where space and design matter.
