Review on Neumann TLM 102 Condenser Microphone by Pornthip Pornthip ᠌

1. Build quality and materials, respectively. The purest German die Qualität - from logo engraving to gold-plated contacts. 2. SOUND. Unlike the older models in the line with a price per 100K, the TLM102 does nothing supernatural with your vocals. But it turns out that this is not required! It is enough to shoot the vocals exactly in the entire range, without dips and humps, and the rest is done manually in the process of mixing. It's the same with camcorders: in a blind test, you may not be able to tell the difference between Sony A7III and Arri Alexa, but you pay for more information in the source, which gives the editor and colorist more options on post. 3. Low self-noise level. 4. Captures much less external noise (clicks, thumps, wall drilling, etc.) when recording, unlike many other microphones. Slightly moved sideways or back - the signal level dropped significantly.
