The Neumann TLM102 Studio Nickel features a large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144dB that allows the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the Neumann TLM102.

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 colouration and a clearly defined bass range. The capsule has an elastic suspension for the suppression of structure-borne noise.

The Neumann TLM 102 Nickel is ideal for home recording and studio use, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority.  A pop screen integrated into the grille serves to suppress plosives in vocal and speech recording. Each of these microphones comes with a matching Neumann EA4 Shockmount so you can get started straight away.
