Highly recommended! ----- The TLM 103 is one of the most successful products in Neumann's history. Its pure, clear sound is a modern version of the classic U 87. The TLM 103 is a transformerless cardioid condenser microphone with a gentle presence boost, delivering an extremely direct sound with breathtaking clarity and extremely low noise. The TLM 103 is the benchmark by which modern studio microphones are judged. The TLM 103's classic tapered headgrille design gives it an instantly recognizable Neumann look. The TLM 103 shares the same capsule as the Neumann U 87, the K 67/87, but offers a wide presence boost above 5 kHz, giving it a slightly more modern voicing than the U 87. Its extremely direct yet refined sound makes it ideal for vocals and solo instruments, helping them stand out in the mix effortlessly. The TLM 103 also sets new standards in technical performance. With an astonishingly low self-noise of 7 dB (A), it is one of the quietest microphones available today. And its sensitivity of 23 mV/Pa ensures ultra-low noise even when used with inexpensive preamps, audio interfaces, and vintage tubes. At the same time, the TLM 103 can handle extremely high sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB without pre-attenuation. Its vast dynamic range of 131 dB captures everything from a whisper to a thunderous bass drum without noise or distortion, making it an extremely user-friendly studio microphone. Like the rest of the Neumann TLM series, the TLM 103 operates with a transformerless circuit, which minimizes transmission losses and guarantees an extremely direct, uncolored and pristine sound as well as a clear and powerful bass response, even at the highest signal levels. The TLM 103 is a microphone designed primarily for project studios and broadcasting, but its incredible performance also makes it suitable for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amplifiers, piano, etc. The TLM 103 is also often used as a spot microphone in classical recordings, often for cello and double bass. ■Product Specifications Directional pattern: Cardioid Frequency range 20 Hz...20 kHz 1 kohm, Sensitivity at 1 kHz 21 mV/Pa Rated impedance: 50 ohm Rated load impedance: 1000 ohm Equivalent SPL CCIR 468-317.5 dB Equivalent SPL DIN/IEC 6517 dB-A S/N ratio CCIR 468-376.5 dB S/N ratio DIN/IEC 65187 dB Maximum SPL THD 0.5%138 dB Maximum output voltage: 13 dBu Microphone amplifier dynamic range: DIN/IEC 651131 dB Supply voltage 48 V ± 4 V Current consumption: 3 mA Matching connector: XLR 3F Weight: approx. 500 g Diameter: 60mm Length: 132 mm Show more
