Presentation
Equipped with a large-diaphragm capsule derived from the legendary U 87, this condenser microphone offers an optimized cardioid polar pattern, capturing every nuance of sound with precision while minimizing 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 equally capable for delicate sources like vocals or stringed instruments as it is for more powerful instruments like percussion or guitar amplifiers.
This microphone also stands out for its transformerless design, ensuring a pure and transparent signal output, perfect for recordings requiring optimal fidelity. Its slight emphasis on high frequencies (above 5 kHz) brings additional clarity and presence to your recordings.
The Studio Set includes an elastic suspension specially designed to effectively reduce unwanted vibrations, making your recordings even more precise.
Whether recording vocals, acoustic instruments or making podcasts, the TLM 103 is an essential reference for sound professionals.
