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.

The original box came without security tapes, but well packaged and very well cared for. However, this is the most important purchase I have ever made. I have worked in radio and professional VO for many years. I have used Newman microphones on a few occasions in different studios and media, but I never owned my own. Today, I have professional microphones like Shure, AKJ, MK, etc. But when I did the comparison using A. Audition and my own presets, I was absolutely amazed by the clarity and quality of this microphone. Maybe there may be some differences between Newman models, but today I can say that I listened to my recording with disbelief and a big wow! and that I will exploit my voice 100%. ... show more

    • Sweet and warm tone for classical guitar and ukulele
During a weak moment I clicked on Amazon'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! ... show more

This mic is amazing! The raw rap and r&b vocals that come out of this mic are phenomenal! I was a little hesitant at first because, I mean come on, who has an extra $700 laying around. Plus, I'm only working with a Focusrite 2i2 interface plugged directly in my Mac so I wasn't sure if was going to allow this mic to put out it's full potential. Once I got it connected and did my first recording I was amazed, you truly get what you pay for. Even without proper soundproofing this mic put out great vocals. It does, like most reviews say, give your voice a little bass and just the right amount of presence so expect to do a little compression and equalizing. However, I found that on some songs I've recorded the slight bass boost on your vocal fits just right. The size of it is small but this thing does pack a punch and gives you a near industry standard sound. If you have the money, I say go for it because you won't be disappointed with your investment! By the way, I'm not a known youtuber but I will be uploading a video soon that will provide sound examples. Check it out if your still unsure about getting it, give me a couple weeks to build the video and upload. ... show more

    • Excellent Microphone with a Bright Sound Signature
The Neumann TLM 102 is an excellent microphone and a great entry point into Neumann’s lineup. The build quality is outstanding, and the microphone captures a tremendous amount of detail. Vocals sound clear, professional, and polished right out of the box. One thing to be aware of is that this microphone is very sensitive. It picks up a lot of detail from both your voice and the room around you, so I would highly recommend using a shock mount/cradle and some form of acoustic treatment or isolation shield if you’re recording in a home studio environment. The sound signature is also quite bright. This can work very well for certain voices, helping them cut through a mix, but it may require some EQ depending on your recording chain and vocal tone. While I personally think the TLM 103 is the better overall microphone if your budget allows, the TLM 102 is still an outstanding performer and offers the quality you’d expect from Neumann at a more accessible price point. ... show more

I was going to return it but I heard the clear difference between this one and my other mic. I love it!

    • A fairly linear upgrade from the SM7B, for a steal.
This is my second "big boy" microphone. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the SM7B's inherent Radio/Podcaster sound with my already much deeper/raspier voice, so decided on something that would be more natural sounding. Plus it was only $512 at the time of purchase. That's a much more hobbyist-friendly price. ... show more

    • By far best mic I own
Vocals sound fantastic! I’ve bought a bunch microphones from $100 to $300 range and this is by far the best but had to go to $500. I used to not be able to stand listening to my voice. I use EZ mix 3 to finish off the track and the result is most professional I’ve been able to achieve. Just sounds accurate, pleasing and easy to use. ... show more
