Neumann TLM 170 R MT-STEREO Multi-Pattern Large Diaphram Condenser Microphone Set

Neumann TLM 170 R mt Stereo

The Neumann TLM 170 R mt Stereo is the first Neumann mic with transformerless technology, featuring 5 directional characteristics, selectable at the mic or remotely, in addition to pre-attenuation and low-cut filter switches. The excellent sound pressure handling capability makes this mic ideal for recording wind instruments, for example.

The Neumann TLM 170 R mt Stereo was the first microphone to use the successful fet 100 technology. Along with a balanced, transformerless output stage it features extremely low self-noise and an impressive dynamic range.

Five directional characteristics are selectable by means of a rotary switch. In the sixth position, marked “R”, the directional patterns can be controlled remotely with the N 48 R-2 power supply. There is no special cable necessary for this purpose.

The microphone has at its rear a 10 dB attenuation switch for extremely high sound pressure levels, and a high-pass filter to suppress structure born noise.

Features:

• Matched Pair: The TLM 170 R’s are matched in sensitivity and frequency response, providing optimum results when capturing in stereo.
• FET Design: FET 100 technology along with a balanced, transformerless output stage result in high gain and low noise audio output.
• 5 Polar Patterns: Omni-directional, wide angled cardioid, hyper-cardioid and figure eight are all available.
• Transparent Output Signal: The TLM 170R features a flat frequency response curve, resulting in clean, transparent audio reproduction without signal coloration.
