Neumann TLM 103 MT

Neumann TLM 103 mt is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional and semi-professional recording applications. It is an ideal choice where high sound quality is essential, yet budget limitations exist. The TLM 103 delivers Neumann’s renowned precision and warmth in a simplified, affordable package.

Built with true transformerless circuitry, the TLM 103 achieves an exceptionally low self-noise level and a wide dynamic range. Its cardioid capsule, acoustically balanced and highly effective at suppressing off-axis signals, ensures clean and focused recordings in any environment. The microphone maintains clarity and depth even under high sound pressure levels up to 138 dB SPL.

The TLM 103 mt is available in two finish options — nickel-plated or matte black. Thanks to its simplicity, low self-noise, and neutral sound character, it’s a go-to choice for a wide range of applications — from home studios and podcasting to broadcast, commercial production, and professional recording.
