Neumann TLM 102 Studio Set

Bang for fuck, excellent quality, almost always end up using it for everything that the main feature in a song in the studio

Perfect mic for home studio

This is very nice sounding mic. Ideal for home recording vocals in well treated room. Very satisfied

Great microphone

The sound is natural without any color. It's more like microscope for sound. Combined with a AKG headphone.

Excellent microphone

I have small home studio, and i was looking for professional mic which i could use for vocal and instrument recording. I was surprised with natural voice that it is producing.

Great mic, i would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Excellent value for money

I replaced my rode nt1 with this neumann tlm 102 to increase the quality of my voice and yes it is the best choice i could make.

The quality is really good for the price it has, it doesn't have many low end it's not harsh, if you are looking for a professional microphone and maybe you have a home studio like mine I really recommend you to think about it!

Superb bit of kit

Lovely rich and full sound. Used solely for voiceover work. Given 5 stars on features but be aware, it doesn't have any bells and whistles. Excellent mic and excellent service.

Great Entry into Neumann Microphones

A very noticeable upgrade in sound compared to my previous condenser mic, and the raw sound blends easily into the mix due to its ‘flatter’ sound. It has a slight Neumann coloration to the sound despite being the most affordable TLM model as of this review. It is quite warm in the low mids, and you definitely want a low cut filter if you want to be close to the mic. The lack of high boost compared to the TLM 103 means you can further saturate the sound, which still creates a smooth and musical sound that is not harsh and still tickles my ears in a nice way.

I do not recommend modding the mic by taking out the foam filter from the head, as the sound characteristics do not noticeably change and the 2-layers mesh isn’t that fine either, which may introduce dust on the capsule overtime.

The cardioid pattern does change the sound characteristic of the source noticeably when slightly off axis, so care is needed to ensure singer or instrument do not sway too much.

amazing quality

most affordable mic in the Neumann range

really capture the voice

Superb sound, quality and build

I'm not a techno about microphone recording qualities but I can tell the difference and this mic is just superb. It will pick-up a breath at 3m. Incredible!

TLM 102

Well what can I say?

This small mic WILL BLOW YOU MIND.

Have end up using it for vocals, brass instruments, guitars and bass cabs.... pretty much I use this mike all the time. Yes you can get a more versatile mic at this price range, but if you want the neumann sound and build quality you will not be disappointed. 5 stars!!

I like it so much I did a video review of the 102 with some audio samples.
