Neumann TLM 103 – Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone with Legendary SoundThe Neumann TLM 103 Studio Set is a package that redefines standards in the world of studio microphones. Combining the heritage of the legendary U 87 model with modern transformerless technology, this large-diaphragm condenser microphone offers unmatched sound quality that has been embraced by professional audio engineers worldwide.

The microphone capsule is derived from the classic K67/87 design, known from the U 87 model, but with subtle modifications that give it a slightly more modern character. The result is a microphone that retains the famous authoritative midrange sound while offering a significant boost in presence for frequencies above 5 kHz. This feature ensures incredible definition and clarity of sound, setting recordings apart from the competition.

Product FeaturesThe Neumann TLM 103 stands out with a series of advanced technical solutions:K 103 capsule based on the proven K 87 design from the legendary U 67 and U 87Consistent cardioid polar pattern providing excellent separation from ambient sound sourcesTransformerless output stage (TLM) eliminating high-frequency interferenceExtremely low self-noise – just 7 dB-A allowing recording of even the quietest sound sourcesHigh sensitivity of 23 mV/Pa ensuring a strong and clean output signalSPL handling up to 138 dB without the need for pad attenuationFlexible internal suspension system eliminating mechanical noisePrecision Engineering for Absolute Sound PurityTransformerless Microphone (TLM) technology in the Neumann TLM 103 represents a breakthrough in condenser microphone design. The traditional output transformer has been replaced with an advanced electronic circuit, preventing high-frequency interference and other distortions that could affect signal quality.

The entire internal structure of the microphone is flexibly mounted, effectively eliminating mechanical noise generated during use. The frequency range starts below 20 Hz, meaning even the lowest bass tones are recorded without coloring the sound.

Impressively deep yet controlled bass, combined with the famous authoritative midrange, creates a sound character that is ideal for a wide spectrum of applications – from warm vocals to precise recordings of acoustic instruments.
