Is it suitable for stringed instruments like sitar.
Asked by: T Radha
This large diaphragm mic would work recording a sitar, or other stringed-instrument, providing a bright and lively sound. But I would strongly consider looking at a small diaphragm microphone for recording a sitar. Consider the Neumann KM 184 MT Microphone (Matte Black), BH #NEKM184MT, which can placed 4 to 8 feet from the instrument and gives a very realistic recreation of the sitar’s droning and twangy sound.

How does this mic handle "popping p's"?
Asked by: Matthew
The Neumann TLM 102 is above average when it comes to handling "popping" when used with a decent external pop filter. I am pretty bad at popping in my VO's. I love this mic because it not only gives my average voice a rich full range sound but it greatly reduces my popping issues.
