Its exceptionally low self-noise makes it ideal for professional and project studios, excelling in classical recordings with wide dynamic range, sampling of very low-level sources, and Foley work. Robust enough for live use, the TLM 103 has even been trusted on stage by artists such as Jack White for miking guitar amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCardioid Pattern to Limit Bleed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cardioid TLM 103 employs a proven transformerless circuit found in high-end Neumann microphones to achieve ultra-low self-noise and extremely high SPL handling. By focusing on the cardioid pattern used in most recording situations, unwanted rear sound is effectively attenuated while off-axis sources are reproduced naturally. This results in improved isolation and excellent feedback suppression, making the TLM 103 suitable for both studio and live applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eClassic Design for Transparent Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddressed from the front and marked by the iconic red Neumann logo, the TLM 103 uses the K 103 large-diaphragm capsule based on the renowned K 87 from the U 67 and U 87 microphones. The capsule delivers a flat frequency response up to approximately 5kHz, followed by a broad 4dB presence boost. Its wire mesh headgrille protects against plosives without relying on corrective resonance, preserving excellent impulse response and natural, uncolored reproduction of music and speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNeumann’s Transformerless (TLM) Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTLM stands for “transformerless microphone,” where the traditional output transformer is replaced by an advanced electronic circuit. This design maintains effective common-mode rejection and protects against RF interference while preserving a balanced audio signal. The result is exceptionally clean, detailed audio performance with a wide dynamic range, allowing the TLM 103 to capture everything from the quietest nuances to sound pressure levels up to 138dB without distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Neumann says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Modern Studio Standard\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapsule design derived from the legendary Neumann U 87 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent cardioid pickup pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBroad presence boost for enhanced clarity and definition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtremely low self-noise for pristine recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eA Modern Classic\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransformerless cardioid condenser microphone with modern U 87-inspired voicing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide presence boost above 5 kHz for direct, detailed sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthoritative Neumann midrange with deep, controlled low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistinctive Neumann tapered headgrille design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Excellence\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUltra-low self-noise of just 7 dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh sensitivity (23 mV\/Pa) for clean results with any preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandles sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without preattenuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide dynamic range of 131 dB for effortless capture of quiet and loud sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTransformerless Neumann TLM Technology\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransformerless output stage for minimal signal loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImmediate, uncolored sound true to the source\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClear, powerful bass response even at high signal levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eApplications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for vocals, speech, and solo instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExcellent choice for drums, guitar amplifiers, and piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequently used as a spot microphone in classical recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for project studios, broadcast, and professional facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-diaphragm capsule derived from the classic U 87\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBalanced sound with enhanced presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCardioid pickup pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransformerless circuitry with high SPL handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtremely low self-noise: 7 dB-A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[tabs] [tab title=\"FEATURES\"]\n\u003carticle class=\"webtext\" id=\"desc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext__column webtext--text\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"webtext\" id=\"desc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeumann TLM 103 Features:\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePressure gradient transducer with single-diaphragm capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransformerless circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtremely low noise performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes swivel mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimal self-noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 20Hz–20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated impedance: 50 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated load impedance: 1 kohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL (0.5% THD): 138dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWooden box and stand mount included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRequires +48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-extra-media\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/tab] [tab title=\"SPECIFICATIONS\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth style=\"white-space:nowrap;
