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

Explore Precision with Neumann TLM 170 R Stereo Set
Introducing the Neumann TLM 170 R Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone in nickel—a stereo set that represents the pinnacle of Neumann's commitment to audio excellence. This set features two large-diaphragm, multipattern condenser microphones, each equipped with FET 100 technology for a pristine, transformerless output. The balanced stage, low self-noise, and impressive dynamic range make this microphone duo ideal for professional recording, broadcasting, film, television, and high-quality semi-professional projects.

Adaptive Polar Patterns for Dynamic Recording
Flexibility is at the forefront with the TLM 170 R. Five selectable directional characteristics are easily adjusted via a rotary switch. The unique "R" position allows for remote control of these patterns with the included N 248 power supply, streamlining your setup and enabling you to adapt to any recording environment without the need for special cables.

Built for High-Pressure Levels
Each microphone in the TLM 170 R set is designed to withstand extremely high sound pressure levels, thanks to a 10 dB attenuation switch at the rear. Additionally, a high-pass filter helps suppress structure-borne noise, while a second switch attenuates frequencies below 100 Hz to eliminate unwanted low-frequency sounds, ensuring your recordings are clear and focused even in the most demanding situations.

Uniform Response Across All Settings
The TLM 170 R excels in delivering a smooth frequency response for all polar patterns across a broad acceptance angle. This ensures a consistent diffuse-field response, crucial in reverberant environments where multiple sound reflections converge. The result is a microphone that records acoustic information faithfully without altering its tonal quality, free from corrective-resonance effects.

Remote Control for Enhanced Versatility
The innovative design of the TLM 170 R includes the ability to control polar patterns remotely via the N 248 power supply, adjusting phantom voltage within a range of ±3V of the nominal 48V. This feature, combined with the standard 3-pin microphone cable usage, enhances its versatility, making it suitable for a wide array of recording conditions.

Robust Construction and Thoughtful Engineering
Neumann's TLM technology replaces traditional output transformers with an electronic circuit, improving common-mode rejection and preventing RF interference. The included tilting side bracket, equipped with rubber elements, protects the microphone from mechanical shocks and can be mounted on either side of the microphone. All exposed surfaces of the capsule are at ground potential, enhancing immunity to electrical and atmospheric interference, as well as dust contamination.
