Neumann TLM 103 Condenser Microphone (Black) with Suuntok Mic Shockmount Bundle

The nickel TLM 103 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a cardioid, directional microphone that features low self-noise and high sound pressure level transmission. The capsule, derived from that used in the U 87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-balanced, and provides great 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 a 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, and these characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. The microphone maintains a great impulse response and reproduces 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. It is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion. The TLM 103 Condenser Microphone (Black) comes with a Mic Shockmount.
