Over an enormous dynamic range of 130 dB it offers a remarkably linear frequency response, both on- and off-axis, in each of its five polar patterns, so it captures the natural sound of any source, including its room ambience, without imparting a sonic imprint of its own. It is available in nickel (TLM 170 R) and matte black (TLM 170 R mt).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003ePolar patterns plus remote position\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e5 + R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eVery low self‑noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e14 dB‑A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMaximum SPL (154 dB with -10 dB pad)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e144 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eDynamic range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e130 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive directional patterns\u003c\/strong\u003e: omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid and figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote control option\u003c\/strong\u003e: the R position lets the optional N 248 switch the pattern over the standard microphone cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eK 89 dual-diaphragm capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e with smooth frequency response, fast transients and frequency independent patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eUncoloured diffuse-field response for all polar patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eVery low self-noise of 14 dB-A and an enormous dynamic range of 130 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e-10 dB pre-attenuation for up to 154 dB SPL; switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTransformerless fet 100 circuitry for transparency and powerful bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eElastically mounted, swivelling side bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eBalanced XLR 3 output, 48 V phantom powering (P48, 3 mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTwo finishes: nickel and matte black (mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eA milestone in modern recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe TLM 170 R was conceived with high resolution in mind. As early as 1983 it achieved an enormous dynamic range of 130 dB, and it was the first microphone to use Neumann's fet 100 technology with a transformerless output stage, ensuring sonic transparency and powerful bass transmission even at the highest signal levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eK 89 capsule and diffuse-field response\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe K 89 dual-diaphragm capsule offers high linearity in every sense: smooth frequency response, fast transient response and frequency independent polar patterns. The response is flat up to 10 kHz for sound incidence angles up to ± 100°, so even the diffuse-field response remains uncoloured for all polar patterns: crucial in reverberant environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eRemote pattern control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eIn the sixth position of the rotary switch, marked R, the pattern may be remote controlled from the optional N 248 power supply. No special cables are required: Neumann's voltage sensing scheme varies the phantom voltage within the permissible ± 4 V range of the P48 standard. The TLM 170 R sets its pattern according to the absolute voltage, while other microphones remain unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003ePad, low cut and bracket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe -10 dB switch lets the TLM 170 R handle extremely loud sources of 154 dB SPL; a second switch moves the high-pass filter from 30 Hz (LIN) to 100 Hz to suppress low-frequency interference or compensate the proximity effect. The microphone sits elastically on a tilting side bracket with a 5\/8\"-27 thread (adapter for 1\/2\" and 3\/8\"), which already protects it efficiently from structure-borne noise; for exceptionally demanding situations Neumann offers the EA 170 elastic suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe TLM 170 R is an excellent microphone for orchestral recordings, as a main microphone and as a spot microphone. At the same time it is a superb microphone for vocals and speech, capturing the human voice in its natural beauty. The wide angle cardioid suits wide sources such as large instrumental sections or choirs; the hypercardioid rejects sound from the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTLM 170 R microphone (or TLM 170 R mt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eDust cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eWooden box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eOperating manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eAvailable versions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTLM 170 R\u003c\/strong\u003e: nickel, Cat.
