he TLM 170 R was the first microphone
to use the successful fet100 technology.
Along with a balanced, transformerless out-
put stage it features extremely low self-noise
and an impressive dynamic range.
Five directional characteristics are selectable
by means of a rotary switch. In the sixth po-
sition, marked “R”, the direc-
tional patterns can be con-
trolled remotely with the
N 248 power supply. There is
no special cable necessary for
this purpose.
The microphone has at its rear
a 10 dB attenuation switch for
extremely high sound pres-
sure levels, and a high-pass fil-
ter to suppress structure born
noise.
Applications
The TLM170 R condenser microphone is a
large diaphragm microphone with multiple po-
lar patterns. Its sound has a very transparent
characteristic, in contrast to some of our other
microphones that have a distinct personality.
Therefore, this microphone is used for many
diverse applications in professional recording
studios, in broadcasting, film and television, and
for semiprofessional productions. The polar
patterns can be selected either at the micro-
phone itself, or controlled remotely through
the special N 48 R-2 power supply.
