Description
Classic Neumann Sound
The Neumann TLM 103 offers a classic Neumann sound with elevated presence, providing a crisp, clean, and full tone similar to the heralded U 87 microphone, making it a budget-friendly option for project studios, producers, and vocalists.
Compact and Versatile Design
With its compact body, the TLM 103 is ideal for tight recording spaces such as over a snare, inside a kick drum, or in front of a small guitar amp. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces ambient noise and instrument bleed, ensuring clear recordings.
Technical Excellence
Featuring transformerless circuitry, the TLM 103 delivers technical excellence with a remarkably low self-noise of only 7 dBA and a high sensitivity of -32.5 dBV, making it suitable for various recording setups and environments. It can handle high SPLs up to 138 dB without distortion, ensuring clarity in recordings.
Wide Range of Applications
Primarily designed for project studios and broadcast use, the TLM 103 has found its place in renowned studios as a modern alternative to the U 87. Its balanced sound with enhanced presence, along with its cardioid pattern and transformerless circuitry, makes it versatile for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amps, piano, and even classical recordings for cello and double bass.
