Neumann TLM 103 Condenser Microphone Black

TLM 103 Condenser Microphone Black description:

The Neumann TLM103 is an affordable large diaphragm, cardioid condenser microphone derived from the famous U87. Its well-balanced performance and extremely low self-noise make it the microphone of choice for virtually all recording, broadcast and production applications. By utilizing the tried and true transformerless circuit found in numerous Neumann microphones, the TLM 103 features yet unattained low self-noise and the highest sound pressure level transmission. The capsule, derived from that used in the U 87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-balanced and provides extraordinary attenuation of signals from the rear.

Neumann TLM103 Features:

• Large diaphragm cardioid microphone
• Pressure gradient transducer with with one-diaphragm capsule
• Transformerless circuitry
• Extremely low noise: 7 dB-A
• Suitable for: Vocalist recording, Announcer's mic for broadcasting/voice over, Due to minimal self-noise: on-air mic for radio/broadcast, very low amplitude signals, radio drama, sampling, foley/sound effects, Home recording and project studios, Spot mic for: wind instruments, strings, percussion, guitar amps, drum overheads
