Neumann Tlm170 R Woodbrass Italia

the first neumann mic with transformerless technology featuring 5 directional characteristics selectable at the mic or remotely in addition to pre attenuation and low cut filter switches the excellent sound pressure handling capability makes this mic ideal for recording wind instruments for example 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 applicationsthe tlm 170 r condenser microphone is a large diaphragm microphone with multiple polar patterns its sound has a very transparent characteristic in contrast to some of our other microphones that have a distinct personality therefore this microphone is used for many diverse applications in professional recording studios in broadcasting film and television and for semiprofessional productions the polar patterns can be selected either at the microphone itself or controlled remotely through the special n 248 power supply acoustic featuresthe microphone is addressed from the front marked with the neumann logo the large diaphragm capsule inside the headgrille has a very smooth frequency response for all polar patterns over a wide acceptance angle the curves are flat and parallel to the 0 frequency curve up to 10 khz within an angle of 100 as a result the tlm 170 r has a very even diffuse field response for all polar patterns this is important in a reverberant environment as more reflections arrive at the microphone from different directions the acoustic information is not affected in
