A valuable purchase, some advantages!

That this microphone has BASS commands notice right away. Neumann does not place any restrictions on your creative creativity, in contrast to many microphones that merely block off the bottom end to prevent dirt. This is a significant improvement over the RODE NT1 (which I hastily returned to the seller) because the RODE, like many other microphones, lacks this information at first. I can always remove extraneous information with an equalizer or compress. In the field of audio recording, Neumann is the most popular brand. That says everything. PROFIT!

Pros

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.

Cons

1. Miniscule packaging and equipment compared to the identical Rode for half the price. The spider will cost an additional 10 or so. You must comprehend this. 2. He is incredibly small. the width of a typical fist. You feel as though you were given a chopped version of a typical microphone after packaging.
