Neumann TLM 102 Studio Set - Nickel

Med TLM 102 definerer den Berlin-baserte mikrofonfabrikanten Neumann en ny generasjon studiomikrofoner. Dette gjelder ikke bare mikrofonens design, men også prisen.
Den reduserte størrelsen bidrar til et særlig kompakt utseende. Her forenes alle de typiske designelementene i en Neumann-mikrofon. De harmoniske proporsjonene og den skinnende ringen på mikrofongrillen gjør at TLM 102 umiddelbart tiltrekker seg oppmerksomhet.

TLM 102 imponerer når det gjelder lyd: Inne i mikrofonen sitter det en nyutviklet stormembrankapsel (kardioide), som tåler maksimalt lydtrykksnivå på 144 dB. Dette gjør at mikrofonen egner seg til opptak av for eksempel perkusjonsinstrumenter, trommer, forsterkere og andre kraftige lydkilder. De viktigste bruksområdene er likevel innenfor vokal og tale. En forsiktig boost over 6 kHz sørger for en utmerket presence-virkning på stemmer, i totalmiksen.

Utvidet info (engelsk):

The 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 is impressive in terms of sound: In the interior is a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, which permits the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources, for example. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM 102. However its most important applications are in the realm of vocals and speech; a slight boost above 6 kHz provides for excellent presence of the voice in the overall mix. Up to 6 kHz the frequency response is extremely linear, ensuring minimal coloration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule has an elastic suspension for the suppression of 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 the home recording and project studio sector, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority.
