The Quintessence of Neumann Sound in a Compact Format
The TLM 102 condenses the sonic DNA of the TLM series into a compact and robust body. True to the "transformerless" approach, it delivers a modern, precise, and source-near sound with high-end elegance on vocals and a stable sound image on acoustic instruments.
For Whom and For What?
Designed for singers, voice-over artists, and demanding creators, the TLM 102 excels on lead takes, premium podcasts, and dubbing. Its dynamic headroom and clarity also make it an excellent choice for acoustic guitar, guitar amp, percussion, light overheads, and brass, while remaining very easy to position in a home studio.
Key Features for Clear and Inspiring Recordings
Capsule and Musical Voicing
Its large diaphragm capsule offers full lows and refined highs. The slight "lift" between 8 and 12 kHz adds air and intelligibility, giving the voice a noble presence without harshness or unwanted sibilance.
Control of Plosives and Levels
The integrated pop shield naturally tames explosive consonants. Combined with high-level tolerance, it allows clean close-miking, useful for spoken voice and modern singing.
Transformerless Electronics
The transformerless output stage ensures solid low-end, fast transient response, and better resistance to interference fields, for clean and detailed recordings.
