Neumann TLM 170
Another trademark Neumann microphone with a distinctive sound. I used it as a highlight in orchestras. It is also the mic that sits atop Jay Leno’s desk.
According to Neumann’s website:
The TLM 170 R was the first microphone to use the successful fet 100 technology. Along with a balanced, transformerless output stage it features extremely low self-noise and an impressive dynamic range. 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 248 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.
