Review on Neumann TLM Condenser Microphone Cardioid by Bhavin Saini ᠌

1. Construction quality and components, respectively. From brand engraving to gold-plated contacts, everything about German quality is immaculate. 2. SOUND. The TLM102 does nothing magical with your vocals, in contrast to the more expensive, earlier models in the line with a price per 100K. However, it turns out that this is not necessary! The vocals only need to be recorded precisely across their whole range, without dips or humps, and the remaining work is done manually during mixing. Similar circumstances apply to camcorders: in a blind test, you might not be able to distinguish between a Sony A7III and an Arri Alexa, but you pay more for more information in the source, giving the editor and colorist more possibilities during post-production. 3. Minimal internal chatter. 4. In contrast to many other microphones, it records much less background noise (clicks, thumps, drilling in walls, etc.). Moving slightly to the side or back caused a considerable loss in signal strength.
