Key Features
The Neumann TLM 103 Studio Set Microphone, Black is a professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for recording studios, broadcast environments, voice-over work, and home production setups. Built around a cardioid capsule derived from Neumann's legendary microphone designs, it delivers a clear, natural sound with excellent detail and a gentle presence boost that helps vocals and instruments stand out in a mix.
Its transformerless circuitry ensures outstanding signal integrity with excellent rejection of interference, while the exceptionally low self-noise makes it ideal for capturing everything from delicate acoustic performances to powerful vocal takes. With the ability to handle sound pressure levels up to 138 dB, the TLM 103 is equally at home in front of singers, guitar amplifiers, percussion, strings, and drum kits. This Studio Set version includes an elastic shock mount to minimise vibration and maintain clean, professional recordings.

The TLM 103 Studio Set delivers the detailed, natural sound quality that has made Neumann microphones a studio standard around the world. Its large-diaphragm cardioid capsule is based on technology developed for the company's legendary microphone designs, providing accurate sound reproduction with excellent clarity and balance. Whether recording vocals, speech, acoustic instruments, or amplified sources, the TLM 103 captures performances with impressive realism and detail.
The capsule offers a linear frequency response up to approximately 5 kHz, followed by a broad 4 dB presence boost in the upper frequencies. This carefully tuned response helps vocals cut through a mix while maintaining a natural character. Instruments benefit from added definition and articulation, making the microphone a versatile choice for a wide range of recording applications.
The TLM 103 features Neumann's transformerless output design, replacing a traditional output transformer with an advanced electronic circuit. This design maintains excellent common mode rejection and helps suppress interference on balanced audio lines. The result is a clean, transparent signal path that preserves the character of your source without unwanted colouration.
Combining an exceptionally low self-noise level of just 7 dB-A with a maximum SPL of 138 dB, the TLM 103 is capable of capturing everything from quiet, nuanced performances to loud sound sources without distortion. This wide operating range makes it suitable for voice-over work, podcasting, singing, guitar amplifiers, percussion, strings, brass instruments, and drum overhead recording.
To help achieve the cleanest possible recordings, this Studio Set includes an elastic shock mount that reduces the transmission of mechanical vibrations from microphone stands and mounting hardware. Combined with the microphone's elastically suspended capsule design, this helps minimise unwanted handling noise and maintain the microphone's excellent transient response.
