The directivity quality and attention to detail make the MMC4011 cardioid microphone capsule a solution that makes everything sound like the original. The first-order cardioid polar pattern ensures excellent separation of sound sources. It is just as suitable for close-up recordings of acoustic guitar, piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for symphonic support miking. It is designed for incredibly high sound pressure levels.A linear on-axis frequency response and excellent phase response ensure faithful reproduction of the original sound. The off-axis frequency response is similarly homogeneous and interferences are reproduced accurately and attenuated in accordance with the first-order cardioid characteristic.

The reduced overall size results in an extremely compact appearance that combines all the typical design components of a Neumann microphone. The harmonious proportions and the high-gloss basket ring ensure that the TLM 102 is instantly appealing. When it comes to sound, the TLM 102 is really big: inside it is a newly developed large diaphragm capsule (cardioid) which, with a maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB, also allows drums, percussion, amps and other very loud sound sources to be recorded, for example. Even instruments that are not extremely loud benefit from the very fast transient response of the TLM 102, but the most important area of application is in vocals and speech, where a slight boost above 6 kHz ensures an excellent presence of the voice in the overall mix. Up to this point, the frequency response is extremely linear, which guarantees maximum freedom from colouration and a very clearly defined bass range. The capsule is elastically mounted for structure-borne noise suppression and a pop protection integrated in the basket ensures the suppression of explosive sounds during vocal or speech recordings. The TLM 102 is predestined for the home recording and project studio sector, but also for the broadcast sector, especially if particular value is placed on a clear line of sight to the speaker positions.

Our unique d:dicate dual-diaphragm omnidirectional capsule is at the heart of these fantastic microphones. This capsule gives the microphone its distinctive, well-balanced sound and bridges the gap between the exceptional sound quality of the d:dicate recording microphone series and our well-known d:screet miniature microphone series.Two miniature capsules facing each other are used in this microphone. Arranged as a double diaphragm, they form a capsule unit. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise of a larger diaphragm surface. These capsules offer a fast impulse response and a wide frequency bandwidth. The capsules are combined with the preamplifiers of the outstanding d:dicate microphone series, which gives the sound more airiness and precision.

Warm Audio presents the WA-84, a classic small diaphragm condenser microphone with a cardioid characteristic. The vintage-style microphone has a class A signal path and features CineMag transformers, Fairchild transistors and Wima capacitors. As a classic small diaphragm microphone, it is suitable for a wide range of applications, including acoustic and electric guitars and basses, drums, piano, strings and wind instruments.Compact dimensions, big sound:Despite its small dimensions, the WA-84 small diaphragm condenser microphone delivers a voluminous and warm sound. To achieve this, Warm Audio uses a CineMag transformer with a nickel core in the WA-84.Small diaphragm condenser microphones have generally moved to a transformerless design in recent years, making development easier and the manufacturing process less costly. When developing the WA-84, Warm Audio decided to go one step further and chose this exclusive design that delivers a crystal clear yet smooth and big sound. This unusual approach to the design of the WA-84 allows Warm Audio to recreate the legendary sound of the 60's and 70's with today's technology.Warm Audio is proud to offer something special to the market by utilising large-core transformer technology (CineMag USA) in a small diaphragm condenser microphone. The result is a circuit that sounds absolutely stunning in terms of signal integrity and smoothness.The capsule of the WA-84:The WA-84 utilises a vintage-style capsule custom-built for Warm Audio that emulates classic components and design techniques. The WA-84's capsule is carefully crafted by an Australian capsule manufacturer and accurately replicates the legendary specifications. This high-quality capsule is one of the most important components for the sound of the WA-84.The CineMag transformer:The WA-84 uses a US-made CineMag transformer with a nickel core, which contributes significantly to the creamy, warm sound of the small diaphragm condenser microphone.The circuit design and the capacitors:The full Class A circuit design has a major influence on the outstanding sound quality of the WA-84, as do the Fairchild FET and the Wima, polystyrene and tantalum feed-through capacitors used throughout the circuit. With the WA-84, Warm Audio has once again succeeded in bringing a legendary classic into the modern age.All microphones are supplied as a set with spider, pop protection and microphone holder in a robust transport case.

The Mangabey microphone from Monkey Banana was developed for vocal, speech and instrument recordings in the recording studio. 9 different characteristics can be controlled via the power supply unit.Especially for vocal recordings and acoustic guitars, the hand-selected 12AX7 tube installed in the Mangabey ensures a warm, natural sound.In addition to the microphone, the scope of delivery includes the power supply unit, a microphone spider, a 7-pin connection cable and a protective bag.

Neumann engineering:The newly developed transducer, which has been specially tuned for this microphone, impresses with its fantastic impulse fidelity. Unusual for a large diaphragm capsule is also the high consistency of the five patterns, omnidirectional, cardioid, figure of eight, with the intermediate stages wide cardioid and hypercardioid. The TLM 107 not only delivers optimum sound results in the cardioid position, but also maximum precision across the entire frequency range for all other polar patterns. The sound image always remains balanced with an almost linear reproduction up to 8 kHz and a soft boost of the highest frequencies, which gives voices presence and freshness. Particular emphasis was placed on the natural reproduction of speech sounds, especially the critical S-sounds. The speaker basket has been acoustically optimised to reduce susceptibility to pops. In addition, the transducer is edge-contacted, with both diaphragms at ground level. In concrete terms, this means significantly less susceptibility to dust and moisture.Uncompromising sound design:The transformerless circuit offers high linearity and great dynamics. The self-noise of just 10 dB-A is practically inaudible, while the TLM 107 is also very level-resistant. The maximum sound pressure level is 141 dB SPL and can be increased up to 153 dB SPL by means of pre-attenuation (pad). This means that the TLM 107 transmits even the loudest instruments without distortion. The bass roll-off with linear, 40 Hz and 100 Hz settings is precisely tuned to recording practice. The 40 Hz setting cuts the noise below the fundamental range (the open E string of the double bass is at 41 Hz) without any side effects, while the 100 Hz setting has been optimised for speech/vocals (100 Hz corresponds to the lowest notes of a baritone).Innovative operating concept:For the first time in a microphone, all switching functions are intuitively controlled by a navigation switch. The illuminated pattern display in the chrome ring is a visual highlight, while the switching states of the pad and low cut are indicated by LEDs to the left and right of the switch. The switch and display have been positioned at the rear so as not to irritate singers. The displays switch off automatically after 15 seconds.
