## Overview

The Neumann TLM 103 is a professional large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone featuring a capsule inspired by the iconic U 87, ultra-low self-noise of 7 dB, and a wide 20Hz-20kHz frequency response. Housed in a sleek nickel finish with a wooden jeweler’s box, it delivers studio-quality clarity and dynamic range, making it a top choice for voiceovers, acoustic instruments, classical recordings, and live performances.

## Description

The Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic boasts a capsule drawn from the U 87 and transformerless circuitry — not to mention classic Neumann sound! The TLM 103 is a great mic for any pro or project studio use and, due to its minimal self-noise, it's been used for classical recordings with a wide dynamic range, sampling (especially for very low amplitude sources), and Foley work. This mic is also robust enough for the live stage, as Jack White has employed the TLM 103 to mic amps in live situations. Cardioid pattern to limit bleed The cardioid TLM 103 utilizes a tried-and-true transformerless circuit found in high-end Neumann microphones to achieve its otherwise unattainable low self-noise and the highest sound pressure level transmission possible. By focusing on this pattern — used in most recording situations — the attenuation of unwanted rear sound has been optimized. Off-axis sounds are rendered

Review: Beautiful - Sounds so beautiful. Really really picks up everything, so make sure your room is treated or quiet.
Review: This is a top of the line microphone - I use it for voice overs and recording acoustic (Martin) guitars. This microphone has a good reputation and it is well earned. Is it worth more than the MXL? Maybe. I'm not professional enough to tell the difference. But this is a warm mic that has good dynamic range. I really like it.
