This has a cardioid pattern, a self noise of 10dBA and a max SPL of 140dB. The sound of this is overall very neutral, with a bit of a recession in the presence and treble which helps tame some harsher frequencies without sounding too dull or dead. I found that this worked extremely well on every application I tried it on. </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Buy Neumann TLM193 (Affiliate Links)<br></strong>Amazon: <a href="https://geni.us/tlm193">https://geni.us/tlm193</a><br>Sweetwater: <a href="https://sweetwater.sjv.io/tlm193">https://sweetwater.sjv.io/tlm193</a><br>B&amp;H: <a href="https://bhpho.to/46fujf3">https://bhpho.to/46fujf3</a></p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong><em>NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE)</em></strong><em>: As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
