The Neumann TLM 102 interior is a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule (cardioid) with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, which permits the recording of percussion, drums, amps and other very loud sound sources. Instruments that are not especially loud also benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM 102. With a competitive price and flexible field of application, the TLM 102 is ideal for the home recording and project studio sector, as well as for the broadcasting area, especially when clear lines of sight to the speakers are a priority.

It sounds amazing. I upgraded from the AT2020 due to really bad sibilance and a harsh sound. The TLM sounds warm, smooth with much less sibilance. I dont even need to EQ or de-ess.
