The TLM 193 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic from Neumann excels at many applications including overhead and close-miking drums, acoustic performances, and recording vocals.

The TLM 193 by Neumann is a large-diaphragm, double membrane cardioid condenser studio mic designed for critical recording, broadcast and live sound applications. The capsule of the TLM 193 is the same legendary large diaphragm capsule used in the U 89i/TLM 170 family. This unit is mated to the proven FET 100 circuitry of the KM 100 series. Offering state-of-the-art specifications and performance in a value-conscious package, the TLM 193 is without peer: Ultra-low self noise (10dB-A), high sound-pressure capability (140dB before overload), dynamic range (130dB), wide frequency response (20Hz - 20kHz) and the quality, durability, longevity, and glorious sound which has earned Neumann its reputation. The TLM 193 is the perfect microphone for both budget-conscious project studios and larger facilities who want Neumann performance without paying for the additional features of our flagship models. It excels at many applications including overhead and close-miking drums, capturing the nuances of acoustic performances, and recording critical vocals in the Neumann tradition. The TLM 193 package includes the microphone, a swivel-mount stand adapter, and a foam-lined wooden jeweler's case.
