The Neumann TLM 170 R MT Stereo Set is a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone system that combines technical excellence with the smoothness and flexibility of a large diaphragm capsule. Here are the key features:
Universal Microphone: The TLM 170 R captures the natural sound of any source, including room ambience, without imparting its own sonic imprint.
Remote Control Option: The microphone’s directionality can be remote controlled via the optional N248 PSU.
High Resolution: Achieves an enormous dynamic range of 130 dB and uses Neumann’s fet 100 technology with a transformerless output stage for sonic transparency.
Five Polar Patterns: Select from omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8 patterns.
Low Self-Noise: Ideal for delicate sounds without unwanted hiss.
Handles Loud Sources: Can handle extremely loud sources of 154 dB SPL using the -10 dB preattenuation switch.
The Neumann TLM 170 R MT Stereo Set is a studio workhorse suitable for vocals, instruments, and orchestral recordings.
