Description: Neumann TLM 103 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Nickel Large-diaphragm Cardioid Microphone in Wooden Jeweler's Box with 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Range $ WE WILL BEAT ANY PRICE $ Authorized Dealer Full 10 Year Manufacture Warranty Make pristine recordings with this low-noise mic! The Neumann TLM 103 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic boasts a capsule drawn from the U 87 and transformerless circuitry — not to mention classic Neumann sound! The TLM 103 is a great mic for any pro or project studio use and, due to its minimal self-noise, it's been used for classical recordings with a wide dynamic range, sampling (especially for very low amplitude sources), and Foley work. This mic is also robust enough for the live stage, as Jack White has employed the TLM 103 to mic amps in live situations. Cardioid pattern to limit bleedThe cardioid TLM 103 utilizes a tried-and-true transformerless circuit found in high-end Neumann microphones to achieve its otherwise unattainable low self-noise and the highest sound pressure level transmission possible. 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. This also leads to a high feedback suppression when the microphone is used in live situations or where loudspeaker playback is a factor. And at this price, there's no reason not to have a pair!Classic design for transparent soundThe TLM 103 is addressed from the front, marked with the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The K 103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87, well known from the U 67 / U 87 microphones.The capsule has a flat frequency response up to about 5kHz, and above that, a wide flat 4dB presence boost. The large wire mesh headgrille protects the capsule from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noises. These characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the TLM 103 maintains an excellent impulse response and reproduces the details of music and speech without coloration. With the incredibly low self-noise level of the TLM 103 even the smallest signals are reproduced basically noise-free. As it is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 138dB without distortion, the TLM 103 provides a dynamic range of 131dB (A-weighted).Neumann's "TLM" technologyThe letters TLM stand for "transformerless microphone". With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal.Neumann TLM 103 Features:Nickel finishLarge-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphonePressure gradient transducer with one-diaphragm capsuleTransformerless circuitryExtremely low noiseIncludes swivel mountMinimal self-noiseFrequency range: 20Hz-20kHzRated impedance: 50 ohmsRated load impedance: 1 kohmsMaximum SPL for 0.5% THD: 138dBWooden box and stand mount includedRequires +48V phantom powerTech SpecsMicrophone Type:CondenserPolar Pattern:CardioidFrequency Range:20Hz-20kHzMax SPL:138dB SPLOutput Impedance:50 ohmsSignal to Noise Ratio:87dB (A weighted)Self Noise:7dB (A weighted)Color:NickelConnector:XLRPower Source:48V phantom powerDimensions:5.2" x 2.36"Weight:1 lb.Included Accessories:Swivel Mount, Wooden CasePLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING Ground Shipping in the Contiguous USA is Free If you are not in the Continuous USA - Wait for our invoice!
