Aesthetic Brilliance Meets Function With a nod to the late 90s industrial titanium design, the 25 Years Special Edition Neumann TLM 103 Mono Set showcases a stunning galvanic nickel coat. Enhanced by ultrafine rills, this mic exudes a stylish roughness, further distinguished by individual serial numbers and complemented by a pair of black gloves. Achieving Classic Neumann Sound on a Budget Catering to project studios, producers, and vocalists, the TLM 103 emerges as a budget-conscious alternative to the iconic U 87 microphone. Merging the classic Neumann vibe with an enhanced presence, it promises a sound that's crisp, clear, and full-bodied. At its core, this large-diaphragm condenser mic leverages a U 87-based capsule and pristine transformerless circuitry. This ensures it's capable of handling powerful sound levels up to 138 dB sans distortion while keeping self-noise impressively low at 7 dBA. Precision Engineered for Clarity in Mix Designed for impeccable clarity, the TLM 103 is your go-to when you need a sound source to dominate the mix. Its compact size is a boon, allowing you to place it in tight spots, be it over a drum or before a guitar amp. Moreover, its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces any unwanted ambient noise, ensuring your primary sound source remains undistorted. Unwavering Technical Proficiency The TLM 103 boasts a phenomenal self-noise level of merely 7 dBA, making it one of the quietest mics out there. Paired with a high sensitivity of -32.5 dBV, you're guaranteed ultra-low noise across all equipment types. From capturing a gentle whisper to a roaring bass drum, its expansive dynamic range of 131 dB ensures flawless recording without any added noise or distortion. Unparalleled Authenticity with Transformerless Output Being part of the esteemed Neumann's TLM series, the TLM 103 prides itself on its transformerless output stage. This design choice aids in minimizing any transmission losses, ensuring that the sound you capture remains true to its source, with a powerful bass even at peak signal levels. Versatile Applications for Studio and Beyond Originally conceptualized for project studios and broadcasting, the TLM 103 quickly garnered attention from top studios. Its modern sound profile made it a preferred alternative to the U 87, especially for voiceovers, vocals, drums, guitars, and pianos. For those in the classical realm, it has also proven to be an adept spot mic for instruments like the cello and double bass.
