he TLM 103 is the ideal large diaphragm microphone
for all professional and semi-professional applications
requiring the utmost in sound quality on a limited budget.
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 pres-
sure level transmission. The capsule, derived from that used
in the U87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-
balanced and provides extraordinary attenuation of signals
from the rear.
The TLM103 is available in satin nickel and matte black.
Delivery includes an SG 1 metal swivel mount and a wooden
jeweler’s box.
Applications
Due to the universal cardioid pattern, straightforward han-
dling, extremely low self-noise level, and finally, the price,
the TLM103 is predestined for all demanding applications
from home recording to professional broadcasting and
commercial recording studios.
Polar pattern
The TLM103 is equipped with a large diaphragm capsule
with cardioid pattern. By focusing on this pattern – used in
most recording situations – the attenuation of unwanted rear
sound has been optimized.
Off-axis sounds are rendered naturally while isolation is
increased. This also leads to a high feedback suppression
when the microphone is used in live situations or where loud-
speaker playback is a factor.
Acoustic features
The TLM 103 is addressed from the front, marked with the
red Neumann logo on the microphone body.
The K103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87,
well known from the U 67 / U 87 microphones.
Application Hints
•A universal cardioid mic
•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 overhead
These are just some of the most common applications. We
recommend additional experimentation to gain maximum use
from this microphone.
