  • Large-diaphragm Cardioid Microphone in Wooden Jeweler's Box with 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Range

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

Beautiful
Sounds so beautiful. Really really picks up everything, so make sure your room is treated or quiet.

Good
Got what was advertised, no problems so far other than a minor scuff in wood box

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.

Just plain worth it!
I do enjoy this mic. It's as indescribable as it is certain. I just dig it, my third one to go with a 107.

Good microphone.
Good mic. Logo fell off when I took it out of the box.

A real workhorse.
First, despite what it says in the description, this is not a "dynamic" mic. It is a condenser mic. I just bought my second one, so now I have a pair for drum overheads or vibraphone, anything where you want to capture a stereo image. This mic sounds excellent on everything I have tried it on, even a guitar amp where I would generally use a dynamic like an SM-57. I think it's a great bang for the buck and I recommend it highly. ... show more

Great idustry standard microphone!
I got this as many people use it as an industry standard. I'm happy with the warmer sound it gives me on my guitar tracks. It's great for vocals as well and look forward to using this microphone for a long while! Lance Allen Fingerstyle guitarist
