Overview

Extremely low self-noise and high SPL transmission.

The Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm condenser microphone provides studio-quality sound for any recording application. Featuring a capsule derived from the legendary Neumann U87, the TLM 103 captures vocals and instruments with stunning accuracy and depth. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces unwanted noise and feedback, making it ideal for live performances and production environments. With an advanced transformerless circuitry for ultralow self-noise, the TLM 103 handles high sound pressure levels up to 138dB without distortion. The TLM 103 delivers the Neumann standard of excellence at an affordable price.

Pristine Sound Quality

The TLM 103 produces recordings with an open, natural tone and minimal coloration. Its flat frequency response extends to 5kHz, where a gentle presence boost adds airiness and clarity. The TLM 103's large-diaphragm capsule, based on the renowned U87, provides a balanced tonal characteristic ideal for any application. An excellent transient response captures the most subtle sonic details with precision.

Rugged and Roadworthy

Despite its premium components, the TLM 103 is a rugged microphone ready for professional use. A sturdy wire mesh grille protects the capsule from damage while shielding against plosives. With a metal housing and robust internal construction, the TLM 103 handles the wear and tear of daily use. Its low profile and balanced weight make it easy to position, while multiple mounting options provide flexibility in any recording space.

Minimal Noise and Maximal Dynamic Range

With an incredibly low self-noise of just 7dB-A, the TLM 103 produces a virtually noise-free signal even for the quietest sound sources. A maximum SPL of 138dB allows the TLM 103 to capture the loudest signals without distortion. This formidable dynamic range of 131dB ensures pristine recordings of any input level. The TLM 103's transformerless circuitry prevents unwanted RF interference for a pure signal.

Legendary Quality, Accessible Price

While Neumann microphones are renowned for their quality, the TLM 103 makes this prestigious brand attainable for home studios and project studios. With a cardioid polar pattern optimized for a variety of common recording applications, the versatile TLM 103 is an endlessly useful tool for capturing any sound source. Experience the Neumann standard of excellence with the TLM 103 large-diaphragm condenser microphone.
