NeumannTLM 103 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Matte Black)

Neumann TLM 103

The TLM 103 was introduced by Neumann in 1997 as a budget alternative to their legendary U 87, however this microphone exceeded all expectations and paved its own way to the hall of fame. With an affordable price, excellent built quality, and stellar sound quality the TLM-103 was equally welcomed by both small project studios and large professional recording facilities. The uniform cardioid pickup pattern, extremely low self-noise, a frequency response that covers the range of human hearing in its entirety, and a transformerless output designed to handle high-volume sonic assaults without distorting are staple features of this microphone, that can be safely called a modern classic. If you are searching for a high-quality microphone that is as well-suited for recording drums, as it is for cello or vocals—look no further than TLM 103.
