by admin on June 30, 2010

Introduction.

The TLM large-diaphragm studio-condenser microphone was released at the AES (Audio Engineering Society) show in October, 2009. TLM 102’s design objectives were to provide large-diaphragm, high-SPL, neutrally-voiced transducer in a compact physical package. It measures approximately 52mm x 116mm.

The TLM 102 microphone is developed at Neumann, Germany. It has an edge over TLM 103 in that it is more convenient and suitable to be used at a live event. The microphone has a metal ring mount and comes in nickel or black finishes.

The microphone is available in simple, foam-lined cardboard box to complement a swivel standmount. The red Neumann logo and a silver ring band just below the basket make it visually appealing. The absence of pad and filter switches makes it an attractive, no-frills design

Benefits:

The reduced overall size of the microphone makes it appear compact and ultra-stylish. The TLM 102 has an impressive sound quality. The interior of the microphone is a newly developed large diaphragm capsule and has an impressive sound pressure level of 144 dB. This makes it perfect for the recording of amps, drums, percussions and other loud sound sources. The most fascinating applications of the TLM 102 are in the area of vocals and speech.

Its slight boost of above 6 kHz offers outstanding impact of the voice in the overall mix. Up to 6 kHz, the frequency is very linear and ensures a clearly defined bass range. To suppress the structure-borne noise, TLM 102 has an elastic suspension. A pop screen incorporated into the grille suppresses the plosives in speech recording and vocal. Neumann’s TLM 102 makes the music instruments sound meatier than the source when working it close; however, at a distance, it’s very quiet and clean with a very smooth top end. Its compact size makes it less visible and more positionable for drum miking. In certain countries, the design of the TLM 102 is a registered design of the Georg Neumann GmbH.

With so many attractive features, trendy design and an affordable price, this is indeed the microphone you have been waiting for.

This is what people who bought Shure PGX24 wireless had to say about it:

  • “I bought the PGX24 wireless microphone system and used it for a month. The sound quality is magnificent through the SM58 microphone. I am using this wireless system for Karaoke and all members in my family love it.”
  • “The system only takes 5 minutes to unpack, connect to power, plug into the system and configure the transmitter and receiver. The system is very simple and anyone can configure it. I recommend it for home and stage use.”
