We developed the Neumann TLM 102 as a universal talent for vocal and instrumental recordings. Its finely tuned sound signature especially accents the area of 8 to 12 kilohertz which is crucial for human voices. The recordings get a silky elegance which is typical for large-diaphragm microphones; the voice gets a noble presence in the overall mix. Suddenly, there’s a natural, organic separation between your vocal and your acoustic guitar, for example, an. Nevertheless, the Neumann TLM 102 remains easy to handle and deals masterfully with critical consonants or sibilants: It has an integrated pop shield.
The Neumann TLM 102 also processes extreme volume and jumps in dynamics without distortion. That makes it an excellent choice for miking loud amps and drums. Our “baby” reproduces sound pressure levels of up to 144 dB (e.g. very loud trumpet at a distance of 10 cm) with great clarity: open, detailed, with powerful bass and refined treble. The harmonious proportions and gleaming grille ring ensure that even at first glance, the Neumann TLM 102* attracts attention.
If the Neumann TLM 102 stands for legendary sound at an unheard-of price. The TLM 102 has an integrated pop shield. We remodeled the production and omitted rarely used functions (such as pattern, pad, and low-cut switches). When you hear the Neumann TLM 102, you’ll immediately notice what we did not omit: the Neumann sound, which remains faithful to its big role models.
Our Neumann TLM 102 series works with a transformerless output stage. This means a clean and direct sound, very “close” to the acoustic source, and a powerful bass transmission all the way down to the lowest frequencies. Its transformerless output and stage also make the microphone resistant to electromagnetic fields and minimize transmission losses.

In this era of machinery and technology, Neumann’s microphones quality depends upon handicrafts. As they use original spare parts and are handcrafted they are checked at every process. Even their capsules undergo 50+ numerous tests. Neumann Microphone has stand-out sound quality and reliability. Its microphone is expensive as they are worthy of their cost. There is no doubt that audio studios keep Neumann Microphones at the top of the list.

Conclusion
At last, Neumann Microphones are the best in quality. As many owners of home recording studios are still dreaming of having their own “ real Neumann”. As they are this much good in quality.
