Multi-faceted versatility, no-compromise sound and innovative operation:
With five directional characteristics and a novel operating concept,
the TLM 107 provides sound without any coloration.
Featuring equally impressive level handling and low self-noise,
it captures everything from the softest whisper to thundering drums.
The Modern Studio Workhorse
The TLM 107 is a reference class microphone for vocals and instruments with
breathtaking realism. Five polar patterns plus variable pad and low cut settings
make the TLM 107 exceptionally flexible. And with a dynamic range of 131 dB
the TLM 107 captures anything from a slight whisper to massive drums without unwanted noise or distortion.
21st Century Microphone
The TLM 107 offers true high definition sound quality at an affordable price.
Neumann developed this microphone for project and home studio users who prefer
to capture an uncolored sound image, true to the original source, in order to
retain all options for post processing and mixing. The TLM 107, in turn, offers
all the flexibility required to make a high quality recording of any source in any situation.
Neumann decided to give the TLM 107 a modern look, although the large tapered
headgrille does echo the iconic design of such Neumann classics as the M 49 tube microphone.
The stylish navigation toggle on the back of the microphone is a joy to use as it controls
all settings in one place: pad (0/–6 /–12 dB), low cut (lin/40 Hz/100 Hz)
and polar patterns (omni/wide cardioid/-cardioid/¬hyper¬cardioid/¬figure-8).
The newly developed dual diaphragm condenser capsule is specially designed for the TLM 107
to offer outstanding transient response and an extended, carefully balanced frequency response
for all polar patterns. This means, you can adjust the directional pattern according to the
recording situation without affecting the overall sound balance. Which is quite extraordinary
for a large diaphragm microphone! And, needless to say, the TLM 107 offers true Neumann quality in any setting.
Neumann Engineering
As a member of our TLM series, the TLM 107 operates with a transformerless circuit ensuring an open,
transparent sound and a full, unrestricted bass transmission, even at highest levels.
Two low cut settings are available to reduce rumble and compensate for the proximity effect
in close miking situations. Even without engaging the two pad settings, the TLM 107 can handle
enormous sound pressure levels of up to 141 dB without clipping (up to 153 dB with preattenuation).
The TLM 107 has a self-noise of only 10 dB-A, which is much lower than the ambient noise in a very
quiet recording studio. In other words, the TLM 107 will add neither noise nor unwanted distortion to your recordings.
The TLM 107 is primarily designed for small studios but due to its no-compromise sound quality
can also be used for high-end professional applications including broadcast and classical recordings.
Not only is the TLM 107 an extremely versatile workhorse microphone for a wide range of instruments,
such as acoustic and electric guitar, piano, upright bass, drums and percussion; it is also an outstanding vocal microphone.
