@BROTAST1C The video guy that wrote that is no longer with us :(

@IBMua Unfortunately, I think that must be on your end- no one else has complained or experienced that in over a year and 34,000 views. First think you can try is switching to headphones, and lowering the output volume on your sound card. Also, youtube has a good bit of distortion in its algorithm, we are always happy to send the high resolution files to you, just shoot us a request and we will fire them right out! Hope this helps resolve your issue.

@MrMutron It is definitely one of them for sure. We sell a nice array of world-class sounding microphones in this price range, and would love to discuss specifially the kind of work that you are doing, your existing mic/preamp line-up, and help assist you in selecting the absolute best choice for your particular needs and budget. You can reach our team of experts that focus on recording chains specficially, by e-mail at mics@soundpure(dot)com

@soundpurestudios Would you say this is one of the best all around mics (overheads, Drums, Guitars, Volcals ect.) for under $1500 or so?

@rootvalue We won't block you- but you should give us a call, our prices on NEW tlm102's are sometimes even lower than what we see online for used ones. Give us a try, hit the "quoteback." Plus, you get the security of doing business with an extremely reliable company, and a full Neumann USA warrranty as the original purchaser, which is worth a lot.

@notyourrevolution Hey man, I would love to buy your TLM 102 off of you. Sound Pure, please don't block me, this isn't intended to be spam. If it's still available, please let me know!

[soundpurestudios]

@notyourrevolution If you are looking for smooth, accurate, neutral, they are a good choice. If you like brighter/hyped top end, you might much prefer the Neumann TLM103. It has the smoothness of a Nuemann, but the hype of the MXL that you probably like. Neither is right or wrong, but most of the mics being built today (cheap and fine mics) are building in a tremendous amount of brightness to them. This TLM102, is much more natural sounding- it sounds great with great sources (and rooms)

I own a TLM 102 and am actually about to sell it. It's a fantastic mic, but every time I've used it over the past several months it keeps getting replaced (usually by an MXL), and everybody involved in the sessions tends to prefer the MXL.

If I've got phenomenal sources (players), give me a bag of SM57s and I'll be happy!

@RayParker Thanks for the comment, we will try to get some of that out at some point in the not too distant future- stay tuned. We have tested this microphone extensively across a variety of sax, and it does consistently well- captures the full range of the instrument in a very smooth and musical way.
