TLM 102 : Tiny but very, very mighty.

I've been using this microphone daily for many months now, upgraded from a rode NT2, and although I found it hard to justify the price given the lack of accessories and features, once I heard the sound it output I was very pleasantly surprised, the deep smooth low-end without any muddiness, as well as non-piercing top-end made it very easy to listen to and EQ. the self-noise is fine at 12db, too. My only complaint is that this microphone is horrible with shock rejection! Thankfully there are good quality shockmounts for about 30-40$, though I feel Neumann should be including one especially considering the price. Overall, highly recommended! Do not underestimate this little fella.
