General

This microphone is the ideal solution for all professionals and semi-professionals that want to achieve optimal audio quality. Its capsule is based on that on the U87 and features a cardioid pickup pattern. The acoustics are well balanced and offer excellent attenuation of ambient noise coming from the rear of the mic. It's suitable for all manner of demanding applications - from home recording to professional broadcasting and commercial studio recording.

Acoustic properties of the TLM 103

The capsule has a flat frequency response up to 5 kHz, above which a wide flat 4dB boost is employed. It also has a large head grille to suppress handling noise, while an integrated pop shield attenuates popping and wind noises during vocal and speech recordings.

Electric large-diaphragm studio microphone properties

A newly developed large diaphragm has been installed into the microphone, allowing for an SPL of up to 138 dB without distortion - perfect for loud sound sources! Instruments that aren't loud also benefit form the very fast, noiseless response.

The microphone is mounted on an elastic shock mount, and as the frequency range is below 20 Hz, you can record low bass signals without altering the colour of the sound.

Zo blij met deze aanschaf! Ik heb gekozen voor de zwarte variant, omdat ik die toch nog iets meer vind hebben dan de aluminium versie. De mic wordt geleverd in een stevige kartonnen doos met bijgeleverd een EA1-houder, zodat je mic 'vrij' kan hangen.
Ik heb m'n research gedaan voordat ik over ben gegaan tot aanschaf en de mic valt zeker niet tegen. M'n vocals worden erg helder opgenomen en in een mix komt m'n stem uit zichzelf wat sterker naar voren. Top aankoop!

Abormaal ! Ik had eerst de Neumann tlm 102 aangesloten op een RME Babyface, ben uiteindelijk overgestapt naar de TLM 103 en WAUW wat een verschil ! Stemmen komen veel gecontroleerder over, helderder en warmer ! Geen seconde spijt van, echt een aanrader !
