Neumann TLM 103 Condenser Microphone (Black) with ErnieBall XLR Cable and ATH-M20X Bundle

The Neumann TLM 103 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a cardioid, directional microphone that boasts low self-noise and high sound pressure level transmission. The capsule, derived from the one used in the U 87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-balanced, and provides excellent attenuation of signals from the rear. The TLM 103 is equipped with a large diaphragm capsule with a cardioid pattern, and by focusing on this pattern, the attenuation of unwanted rear sound has been optimized. Off-axis sounds are rendered naturally, while isolation is increased, leading to high feedback suppression when the microphone is used in live situations or where loudspeaker playback is a factor.

The TLM 103 is addressed from the front, and the K 103 large diaphragm capsule, based on the K 87, has a flat frequency response up to about 5 kHz, and above that, a wide flat 4 dB presence boost. The large wire mesh head-grille protects the capsule from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noises. These characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects, and the microphone maintains a great impulse response, reproducing details of music and speech without coloration.

With just 7 dB-A and 17.5 dB CCIR, the self-noise level of the TLM 103 is so reduced that even the smallest signals are reproduced almost noise-free. The microphone is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion.

Additionally, the package includes an EBall XLR Cable and ATH-M20X headphones, providing a complete audio setup for various recording and monitoring needs.
