Neumann - TLM 103 Studio Set
The Neumann TLM 103 is a large-capsule cardioid microphone offering exceptional clarity and ultra-low noise levels (7 dB-A). Ideal for vocals and instruments in the studio, it comes with EA1 suspension for optimum isolation. Its transformerless circuit guarantees maximum transparency, even on digital recorders.
Presentation
Equipped with a large-diaphragm capsule derived from the legendary U 87, this condenser microphone offers an optimised cardioid pick-up pattern, capturing every nuance of sound with precision while minimising unwanted noise from the sides and rear.
With an exceptionally low self-noise level (7 dB-A) and an impressive dynamic range of 131 dB, the TLM 103 ensures faithful sound reproduction, even in demanding environments.
It is capable of handling sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB, making it just as effective for delicate sources such as vocals or stringed instruments as it is for more powerful instruments such as percussion or guitar amplifiers.
This microphone is also distinguished by its transformerless design, guaranteeing a pure and transparent signal output, perfect for recordings requiring optimum fidelity. Its slight high-frequency boost (above 5 kHz) brings extra clarity and presence to your recordings.
The Studio Set includes a specially designed elastic suspension that effectively reduces unwanted vibrations, making your recordings even more accurate.
Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments or making podcasts, the TLM 103 is a must-have reference for sound professionals.
