Neumann TLM 103 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone

The Neumann TLM 103 has quickly become one of the biggest successes in Neumann’s history. It delivers a pristine, clear, and modern sound directly inspired by the legendary U87. The TLM 103 is a transformerless cardioid condenser microphone with a gentle presence boost, resulting in a stunningly direct sound, breathtaking definition, and ultra-low noise.

  • Legendary Neumann Sound: Features a large-diaphragm capsule derived from the classic U 87, delivering a balanced sound with enhanced presence and vocal definition.

  • Extremely Low Self-Noise: With an incredibly low self-noise of only 7 dB-A, the TLM 103 is one of the quietest microphones in existence, ensuring hiss-free recordings.

  • High SPL Handling: Capable of handling enormous sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion, making it a perfect choice for loud sources like guitar amps and drums.

  • Transformerless (TLM) Circuitry: The transformerless output stage minimizes signal loss and delivers an immediate, uncolored sound with a clear and powerful bass response.

  • Impressive Dynamic Range: A vast dynamic range of 131 dB makes the TLM 103 an incredibly easy-to-use microphone that captures everything from a soft whisper to a thunderous kick drum.

 

The New Studio Standard

The TLM 103 has set new standards for technical performance. Its high sensitivity (23 mV/Pa) ensures ultra-low noise performance even when used with budget-friendly preamps and audio interfaces. It’s an easy-to-use studio microphone that will capture any source with exceptional clarity and detail.
