Neumann TLM 102 – Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Nickel)

Compact Studio Power with Iconic Neumann Clarity

The Neumann TLM 102 is a compact large diaphragm condenser microphone that brings legendary Neumann sound to project studios, home setups, and professional recording environments. With its high SPL handling, silky highs, and detailed transient response, the TLM 102 is a versatile tool for vocals, voice-overs, acoustic instruments, drums, and more—all while offering the unmistakable precision that defines Neumann.

Tailored for Vocals and Beyond

The TLM 102’s capsule delivers a slight boost in the presence range above 6 kHz, giving vocals a polished and upfront character that sits perfectly in the mix without sounding harsh. Its maximum SPL of 144 dB allows it to handle loud sources like drum kits, electric guitar amps, or brass instruments without distortion.

Despite its small form factor, the TLM 102 offers genuine large-diaphragm sound, making it ideal for lead vocals, spoken word, and instrument recording.

Clean Output with Transformerless Technology

Like other mics in Neumann’s TLM (transformerless microphone) series, the TLM 102 features a transformerless output stage for ultra-low self-noise (12 dB-A) and a clean, transparent signal path. This ensures accurate low-end response and minimizes coloration, even when recording complex sources.

Built for Every Studio Environment

The microphone’s compact design makes it easy to position in tight spaces, such as inside a drum kit or near a speaker cabinet, while its solid metal housing ensures long-term durability. Whether you’re recording in a home studio or outfitting a professional booth, the TLM 102 offers high-end performance in a space-efficient package.
