Pros & Cons
Pros
Neumann 102 is a great mic for recording classical guitar and ukulele. Has a clear, open midrange without the sizzly top end of the tlm 103. Mids are warm and sweet, higher pitches like artificial and natural harmonics still have plenty of sparkle and... Read More
The best sounding vocal/all around mic i've owned up to this point is a sennheiser md 421. It is solidly built, but light enough to easily mount for a podcast mic.
Even without proper soundproofing this mic put out great vocals. It is my favorite mic for voiceover, as it gives a nice smooth tonality to raw voicework.
Highlights
Quality
I'm extremely pleased with my of neumann mtl 102 mt: impeccable fit and finish, sweet, natural and balanced sound and clean output.
Signal output is strong enough for soft instruments, so no need to crank gain.
I tested both mics with vocals and acoustic guitar and according to my ears, the nueman just blew the sennheiser out of the wat... Read More
During a weak moment i clicked on amazon's magic button and a week later found a neumann tlm 102 mt on my doorstep.
Price
I was a little hesitant at first because, i mean come on, who has an extra $700 laying around.
I you are picky about sound, but don't want to spend too much, this mic is a great one to consider.

So thats what i compared the neumann 102 to yesterday when it arrived
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I kinda expected it to sound a lot like the 421 maybe more airy and bright because its a condenser mic especially after reading the snippety comment about not being any better than a 200 mic although i do agree about sam ash being horrible to deal with

I tested both mics with vocals and acoustic guitar and according to my ears the nueman just blew the sennheiser out of the water on both accounts

I dont really expect it to outdo the 421 on snare drum but i bet the 102 would be great along with it for double miking
