Neumann TLM 102 Microphone - Studio Set - Black - Vocal & Instrument

Neumann TLM 102 Microphone - Studio Set - Black - Vocal & Instrument arrives as a compact, professional studio microphone that brings Neumann sound quality to vocal and instrument recording.

This studio microphone covers a frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz, making it suitable for capturing the full spectrum of voice and instruments with clarity. Its cardioid directionality focuses on the sound source while reducing unwanted room noise, which helps deliver clean takes in untreated spaces.

Designed for wired connectivity via an XLR-3 interface, the TLM 102 runs on the standard 48 V phantom power and consumes only 3.5 mA. The microphone’s 50 Ω input impedance and recommended load impedance of 1000 Ω ensure reliable transfer and compatibility with professional preamps and consoles.

With a sensitivity of 11 mV/Pa at 1 kHz and an equivalent noise level of 21 dB, this microphone achieves a microphone signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 82 dB, offering a good balance of detail and low self-noise for many recording applications. The robust metal body in black complements studio rigs and stage setups alike.

Measuring 116 mm in height, with a diameter of 5.2 cm and weighing 210 g, the TLM 102 is compact and easy to position on stands or booms. The package includes a shock mount to minimize handling noise and vibrations, improving take quality for vocals and instruments.

Typical use cases include close-miking vocals, acoustic guitar, brass, woodwinds, and overheads for small drum kits. Its compact size and cardioid pattern make it especially handy for project studios, podcasting, voiceover work, and live sound reinforcement when a reliable, professional sound is required.

The Neumann TLM 102 stands out for its combination of premium audio performance, easy integration via XLR, and a professional accessory (shock mount) included in the studio set. For anyone seeking a high-quality black studio microphone for both vocal and instrument applications, this model offers a compelling mix of sonic clarity, low noise, and practical ergonomics.
