## Overview

The Neumann TLM 102 is a compact large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone delivering professional-grade clarity and presence. With a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, it excels at capturing loud sources like drums and amps without distortion. Its slight presence boost above 6 kHz enhances vocal brightness, while the elastic suspension and integrated pop filter minimize noise and plosives. Ideal for home studios, project setups, and broadcast, the TLM 102 combines Neumann’s iconic design with exceptional performance at an accessible price point.

## 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: Excellent sounding microphone - 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 desertcart 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
Review: Sweet and warm tone for classical guitar and ukulele - During a weak moment I clicked on desertcart's magic button and a week later found a Neumann TLM 102 MT on my doorstep. After an initial test recording, I knew I had hit on something good. Since then I’ve recorded classical guitar and ukulele with the 102 for months in my home studio and found it accurate, responsive, tonally balanced but significantly warmer than my KM184. Neumann specs indicate a slight presence peak at 6KHz but, to my ears, is significantly less pronounced than the KM184 presence boost. Although 102 mids are warm and sweet, higher pitches like artificial and natural harmonics still have plenty of sparkle and air. In fact, for natural classical guitar and ukulele tone, the 102 sounds perfect flat, i.e., no EQ or other post processing required. A touch of reverb and I'm done. Signal output is strong enough for soft instruments, so no need to crank gain. While the before mentioned may not seem like a big deal to most musicians, finger-picked instruments like the classical guitar are relatively soft and many mics fall short, requiring the gain sliders to be buried just to twitch the meters! Plus, the ultra low noise of the 102 allow delicate tones like harmonics to shine in the track without a hint of background noise. Finally, in a pinch, the 102 makes a great stage mic for acoustic and classical guitar. Unlike many recording mics, the 102 is small (5"/116mm length), robust and has plenty of output. Bring your own clip as the 102 won't fit most stage mic clips. I'm extremely pleased with my of Neumann MTL 102 MT: impeccable fit and finish, sweet, natural and balanced sound and clean output. For recording classical guitar and ukulele, the 102 is my new favorite. Now I need to buy another one so I can record stereo!

**Q: Will this sound good with my Audient Id14 or will I need a more expensive preamp?**
A: Audient makes some great converters and preamps. I would not buy a more expensive preamp to use the Neumann TLM 102. I have used the TLM 102 with several preamps and the differences you get are very subtle. My favorite uses for this mic was vocals and electric guitar.
