Essentially, the Neumann TLM 102 is a compact, large-diaphragm condenser mic with plenty of versatility. It’s been designed to withstand high levels of sound pressure – i.e. volume – meaning it will work well with guitar amp cabinets or acoustic drums, but it’s perhaps best suited to recording vocals.

That’s because of the proximity effect.
