TLM 193
The TLM 193 is a large diaphragm, double membrane cardioid
condenser microphone 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
PRESSURE GRADIENT MICROPHONE
circuitry of the KM 100 series.
The TLM 193 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,
swivel stand adapter and wooden jewelers case.
