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

Discover the Neumann TLM 170 R: A Studio Essential
The Neumann TLM 170 R Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone in sleek black is a testament to Neumann's commitment to high-fidelity sound. Featuring advanced FET 100 technology and a transformerless output stage, this microphone delivers a balanced output with incredibly low self-noise and a vast dynamic range. Ideal for professional recording settings, broadcasting, film, television, and even high-quality semi-professional applications, the TLM 170 R is engineered to capture every nuance of sound with pristine clarity.

Flexible Polar Patterns for Versatile Recording
Equipped with five selectable polar patterns, the TLM 170 R adapts effortlessly to any recording environment. From omnidirectional to figure-8, this microphone covers a broad spectrum of sonic possibilities. The sixth position on the rotary switch, marked "R," allows remote control of these patterns via the included N 248 power supply, eliminating the need for special cables and simplifying setup.

Designed for Precision and Clarity
The TLM 170 R features a 10 dB attenuation switch to handle extremely high sound pressure levels, making it ideal for capturing loud sources such as drums and amplifiers without distortion. Additionally, a high-pass filter suppresses unwanted low-frequency noise, ensuring recordings are clear and focused. A second switch attenuates frequencies below 100 Hz to further clean up the signal.

Exceptional Sound Quality Across All Angles
The large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM 170 R provides a smooth frequency response across all polar patterns, maintaining a flat response up to 10 kHz within an angle of ±100°. This ensures a consistent diffuse-field response, crucial in reverberant spaces where sound reflections are abundant. The result is a microphone that captures sound with a natural tonality, free from unwanted coloration.

Robust Build and Innovative Features
The microphone's capsule is elastically mounted to prevent any structure-borne noise from affecting the recording. Coupled with Neumann's TLM technology, which replaces the traditional output transformer, the TLM 170 R offers excellent rejection of RF interference and maintains the integrity of the audio signal. The included tilting side bracket allows for flexible mounting on booms or stands, and is designed to shield the microphone from mechanical shocks.
