Neumann TLM 170 R Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone (Nickel)

Introducing the Neumann TLM 170 R Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone
The Neumann TLM 170 R is a versatile, high-performance large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professionals in recording, broadcasting, and film. Known for its impeccable audio quality, this multipattern microphone features FET 100 technology and a transformerless output stage, ensuring a balanced and clear signal. Whether you're capturing vocals, instruments, or ambient sound, the TLM 170 R delivers outstanding performance with low self-noise and an impressive dynamic range.

Versatile Polar Pattern Selection for Every Need
With five selectable directional characteristics, the TLM 170 R adapts to a variety of recording situations. The polar patterns include omnidirectional, wide-angle cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-8, allowing users to choose the most suitable option for their application. The remote control feature, accessible via the included N 248 power supply, provides added flexibility by enabling you to adjust the polar patterns on-the-fly. This is particularly useful for dynamic recording environments where you may need to quickly switch between patterns without interrupting the flow of a session.

Exceptional Sound Quality and Impulse Response
At the heart of the TLM 170 R is a large-diaphragm capsule that boasts a smooth frequency response across all polar patterns. This capsule captures sound with precision, maintaining tonal quality even in reverberant settings where reflections can impact recording quality. The microphone’s excellent impulse response ensures that transient sounds, such as drum hits and vocal nuances, are reproduced accurately and without coloration, making it ideal for capturing everything from delicate vocals to powerful musical performances.

Advanced Features for Professional Use
The TLM 170 R is equipped with a 10 dB pre-attenuation switch that allows it to handle extremely high sound-pressure levels without distortion, making it suitable for loud sources like brass instruments and drums. Additionally, the built-in high-pass filter effectively reduces structure-borne noise, ensuring that your recordings remain clean and focused. These thoughtful design features provide audio engineers with the tools they need to achieve professional-quality recordings in various settings.

Durable Design with Easy Mounting Options
Constructed to endure the rigors of professional use, the TLM 170 R features a tilting side bracket that can be easily attached to booms or stands. This bracket includes rubber elements that protect the microphone from mechanical shocks, enhancing its longevity. The design allows for versatile positioning to capture sound from various angles, ensuring you get the best possible audio quality from every session. The ability to mount the bracket on either side of the microphone further adds to its adaptability in different setups.

Engineered for Reliability and Performance
Neumann has integrated advanced technologies into the TLM 170 R, making it resistant to electrical interference and atmospheric contamination. With all exposed surfaces of the capsule grounded, you can trust this microphone to deliver clean, uninterrupted sound even in challenging environments. Additionally, the TLM 170 R’s compatibility with standard 3-pin microphone cables and its operational efficiency over long distances up to 1000 feet means it fits seamlessly into any professional audio setup.
