Used Neumann Used Neumann TLM103 Condenser Microphone

The Neumann 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 attains extremely 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 TLM 103 Features Large diaphragm cardioid microphone Pressure-gradient transducer with one-diaphragm capsule Transformerless circuitry Extremely low noise: 7 dB-A v Available in satin nickel Includes swivel mount Straightforward handling for homerecording and professional studios High-quality professional equipment for limited budgets Neumann TLM 103 Applications Due to the universal cardioid pattern, straightforward handling, extremely low self-noise level, and finally, the price, the TLM 103 is predestined for all demanding applications from home recording to professional broadcasting and commercial recording studios. 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. Neumann recommends additional experimentation to gain maximum use from this microphone. Polar pattern The TLM 103 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.
