Neumann TLM 103 is the ideal large diaphragm microphone for all professional and semi-professional applications requiring maximum sound quality on a limited budget. Using a proven transformerless circuit used in many Neumann microphones TLM 103 provides extremely low self-noise and transmission of the highest sound pressure levels. Capsule based on that used in the U 87 has a cardioid polar pattern Acoustically well balanced and provides extreme attenuation of rear signals. Neumann TLM 103 Features Large diaphragm cardioid microphone Pressure gradient transducer with single diaphragm capsule Transformerless design Extremely low noise: 7 dB-A v Available in satin nickel Includes swivel mount Easy controls for home recording and professional studios High-quality professional equipment for tight budgets Applications Neumann TLM 103 Featuring a versatile cardioid polar pattern , ease of operation, extremely low noise level and, finally, price, TLM 103 is designed for all demanding applications from home recording to professional broadcast and commercial recording studios. Application Tips Versatile Cardioid Microphone Vocalist Recording Voice-Over Microphone for Broadcast/Voice-Over Minimal self-noise: On-air microphone for radio/broadcast very low amplitude signals Radio play sampling Foley/sound effects Home recording studios and project studios Spot microphone for: Brass instruments , strings, percussion, guitar amplifiers drum overhead. These are just some of the most common uses. Neumann recommends further experimentation to get the most out of this microphone. Polar Pattern The TLM 103 features a large aperture capsule with a cardioid polar pattern. Focusing on this diagram notation used in most situations The attenuation of unwanted rear sound has been optimized. Off-axis sounds are reproduced naturally and isolation increases. This also results in strong feedback suppression when the microphone is used live or when playback through a loudspeaker is an important factor. Acoustic characteristics The TLM 103 is viewed from the front and is marked with the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The K 103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87 microphone well known for the U 67/U 87 microphones. The capsule has a flat frequency response up to approximately 5kHz and above this there is a wide flat increase in presence at 4 dB. The large wire mesh grille protects the primer from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noise. These characteristics are achieved without the use of corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the microphone maintains excellent impulse response and reproduces the finest details of music and speech without coloration. Electrical characteristics Self-noise level TLM 103 is only 7 dB-A / 17 , 5 dB CCIR is so reduced that even the weakest signals are reproduced with virtually no interference. Because the TLM 103 is capable of withstanding sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion it provides a dynamic range of 131 d
B in accordance with DIN/IEC 651 standard. The letters TLM stand for "transformerless microphone". Thanks to TLM technology, the conventional output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. Same as traditional transformers it provides good common mode rejection and prevents RF interference which may affect the balanced audio signal. Operational safety The entire internal structure is elastically fastened to reduce any structural noise which may interfere with the operation of the TLM 103. In this case, the capsule is installed on an elastic mount. Frequency range is less than 20Hz therefore even very low bass frequencies are reproduced without coloration.
