Large Diaphragm Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone

The Neumann TLM 170 R Microphone is a large diaphragm, multi-pattern condenser microphone intended for vocal, general instrument recording and broadcast applications. The microphone features a very smooth, flat frequency response resulting in transparent sound reproduction without any coloration to the signal on output. 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. Uses the EA170 shockmount (not included).
