Neumann TLM-102 Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Studio Set – Black

Description The Neumann TLM 102 Large‑Condenser Microphone in nickel is a professional‑grade studio condenser designed to deliver pristine audio capture for vocals, instruments, and a wide range of sound sources. Built around a genuine Neumann large‑diaphragm capsule with a cardioid pickup pattern and transformerless output stage, it combines low self‑noise, wide dynamic range, and powerful bass response with exceptional clarity and direct sound reproduction. Its pressure‑gradient condenser design offers a linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a high maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, making it suitable for everything from whisper‑quiet vocals to loud cabinets and percussion without distortion. The compact yet rugged nickel‑finished body features an integrated pop screen and elastic capsule suspension that minimizes handling noise, while the standard 3‑pin XLR connector and 48 V phantom power requirement ensure seamless compatibility with professional interfaces and preamps. Ideal for small studios, broadcast applications, project rooms, and demanding recording environments, the TLM 102 delivers the signature Neumann sound in a versatile and reliable package.FeaturesLarge‑diaphragm pressure‑gradient condenser capsule for detailed, natural soundUniform cardioid polar pattern for focused pick‑up and off‑axis rejectionTransformerless output stage for clean signals at high SPLsExtremely low self‑noise (12 dB‑A) for clear recordingsHigh maximum SPL of 144 dB without distortionIntegrated pop screen to reduce plosivesCompact, rugged nickel‑finished body with elastic capsule suspensionStandard 3‑pin XLR output and 48 V phantom power requirementSpecificationsSpecificationDetailsTransducer TypePressure‑gradient condenserPolar PatternCardioidFrequency Response20 Hz – 20 kHzMaximum SPL (0.5% THD)144 dBSensitivity (at 1 kHz)11 mV/PaEquivalent Noise Level12 dB‑A / 21 dB (CCIR)Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio82 dB (A‑weighted) / 73 dB (CCIR)Rated Impedance50 ΩRated Load Impedance1 kΩMaximum Output Voltage13 dBuPhantom Power Requirement48 V ± 4 VCurrent Consumption3.5 mAConnectorXLR 3‑pin maleDimensions (Ø × Length)52 mm × 116 mmWeightApprox. 210 gFinishNickelIncluded AccessoriesStand mount (Neumann)T1S8M4E0/30-TV
