The Neumann TLM 103 quickly became one of the biggest successes in Neumann's history. Its crisp, clear sound is a modern update of the classic U87. The TLM 103 is a transformerless cardioid condenser microphone with a smooth presence boost for incredibly direct sound with breathtaking definition and ultra-low noise. Introduced in 1997 as an affordable alternative to the venerable U 87, the TLM 103 has since become a modern classic in its own right. Today, the TLM 103 sets the standard by which contemporary studio microphones are measured. Its classic conical head grille design gives the TLM 103 a distinct Neumann look.
The TLM 103 is a cardioid microphone with a large diaphragm condenser capsule derived from the classic K67/87 capsule of the legendary Neumann U 87. However, the TLM 103 has a slightly more modern sound with wide presence boost for higher frequencies at 5 kHz. Its very direct yet refined sound is perfect for vocals and solo instruments that pop out of the mix effortlessly. Of course, the TLM 103 also has the famous authoritative midrange that has become the hallmark of Neumann microphones and made them the number one choice in studios around the world. A unique feature of the TLM 103 is its incredibly deep yet controlled bass, perfect for sonorous vocals and powerful bass instruments.
The TLM 103 was primarily designed for project studio and broadcast use, but due to its exceptional performance it was quickly adopted by renowned studios as a more modern sounding alternative to, for example, the U87. for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amps and piano. The TLM 103 is also often used as a microphone in classical recordings, for example for cello and double bass.
