Today, the TLM 103 sets the standard for modern studio microphones. Its classic tapered head grille design gives the TLM 103 the unmistakable Neumann look.\n\n\n\nThe TLM 103 is a cardioid large diaphragm condenser microphone with a capsule based on the classic K67\/87 capsule of the iconic Neumann U87. However, the TLM 103 has a slightly more modern character, with a wide presence boost for frequencies above 5 kHz. Its very direct yet sophisticated sound is ideal for capturing vocals and solo instruments that stand out of the mix without breaking a sweat. Of course, the TLM 103 also features the famous midrange that has become a staple of Neumann microphones and the first choice in studios worldwide. A unique feature of the TLM 103 is its incredibly deep, yet controlled low frequency response, perfect for low voices and powerful bass instruments.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL EXCELLENCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\n\nFor technical performance, The TLM 103 has set the new standard. With an impressively low self-noise of just 7 dB-A, it's among the quietest microphones on the market. A high sensitivity of 23 mV\/Pa guarantees ultra low noise even with low cost preamps, audio interfaces and vintage tube gear. At the same time, the TLM 103 can handle massive sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without needing to attenuate. A wide dynamic range of 131dB makes the TLM 103 a very easy-to-use studio microphone, capturing anything from soft whispers to chest-thumping bass drums without producing noise or distortion.\n\n\n\nAs a member of Neumann's TLM family, the TLM 103 utilizes a transformerless output stage to minimize transmission losses, resulting in a very direct, pure sound, accurate to the source, as well as clear, powerful bass response even with the hottest signal levels.\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAPPLICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\n\nThe TLM 103 was predominantly designed for project studios and broadcast, but its superior performance quickly made it a popular studio tool as a more contemporary-sounding alternative to the U87 - for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amps and piano. The TLM 103 is also often used as a spot mic for classical recordings, like cello and double bass.\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eLarge diaphragm capsule derived from the classic U 87 microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eBalanced sound with enhanced presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eCardioid pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eTransformerless circuitry with high SPL capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eExtremely low self-noise: only 7 dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's In The Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli class=\"list__item\"\u003e2 x TLM 103 Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli class=\"list__item\"\u003e2 x EA 1 Shock Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli class=\"list__item\"\u003eAluminium Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Pattern: \u003c\/strong\u003eCardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range: \u003c\/strong\u003e20Hz - 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Impedance: \u003c\/strong\u003e50Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated Load Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 mV\/Pa = –32.5 dBV ± 1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Noise Level (A-Weighted): \u003c\/strong\u003e7dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax.
