Oh boy....I know I'm going to get some backlash for this comparison. Today we take a look at the Neumann TLM 102 and put it up against our tried and tested Rode NT1. I'm not going to spoil anything though....let's just say the TLM 102 could definitely use some improvements in one key, pivotal area. Enjoy the Microphone Review my friends!
