General

The Neumann TLM 103 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that's found in nearly any studio, because it's highly versatile and produces a wonderful sound. Its capsule is based on the U87, has a cardioid pickup pattern, and can handle a sound pressure of up to 138 dB. Every detail is perfectly registered, from whispery soft voice to loud guitars and percussion. This Neumann TLM 103 Studio set contains a high-quality EA1 shockmount, as well as the condenser mic - both of which have a neat nickel finish.

The Neumann TLM 103 microphone

This mic's capsule has a flat frequency response that runs from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Your audio receives a light boost from 5 kHz, so the recordings cut through your mix perfectly, making the vocals clearly intelligible. Trebles are reproduced in a calm, neutral manner, especially compared to how imitation models take care of them. The capsule has a large head grille to suppress handling noise, while an integrated pop shield attenuates popping and wind noises during vocal and speech recordings.

The Neumann EA1 shockmount

The TLM 103 Studio set includes an EA1 shockmount, which ensures that the TLM 103 is suspended freely from the stand. This way handling noise isn't picked up and you'll be able to enjoy a clean recording.

Neumann TLM 103 Studio Set Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Really happy with this mic. I bought it as a mic for life - for an amateur musician it is expensive but the internet is pretty much unanimous that for that money you're not going to find a more dependable, versatile mic. It's stood the test of a couple of decades of use and is still raved about by a wide range of top musicians and producers. I upgraded from the Rode NT1a to this and the sense of clarity is great. It feels good singing into something that sounds like this and if you feel good you'll make your best recordings.

Neumann TLM 103 Studio Set Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

If you want that U87 sound but don't need different polar patterns, pad or LF cut then, in my opinion, this is the mic to get.
It's a Neumann so obviously it sounds great and is built like a tank. If you're a wealthy producer who can afford lots of microphones and can pick and choose depending on the sound of your performer's voice then, fine, there are lots of great mics out there. If, like me, you can only afford one really good mic, this does the job very, very well.

Zou ik nog een sterretje meer kunnen aanduiden?
Geweldige microfoon. Eindelijk opnames die klinken zoals ze moeten klinken.
de opnames klinken zeer natuurgetrouw en warm. Had ik maar eerder deze aankoop gedaan.

Neumann TLM 103 Studio Set Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

j'ai depuis longtemps recherché un micro neutre pour voix féminines et après avoir fait le tour de pas mal de statiques j'ai opté pour ce micro. il a vraiment un plus sur les voyelles et les sssss sur certains mots. on dirait qu'il efface partiellement tout ça... qu'il "soft" les défaut. il a aussi une profondeur incroyable et une superbe définition. donc autant pour les voix masculines que féminines c'est vraiment un très bon choix. c'est une valeur sure. Merci Bax Shop pour une livraison rapide et sans soucis. Frank
