      (FAQ)
      Does the Neumann TLM 103 require phantom power?
      As a truly professional microphone, the TLM 103 is a condenser microphone and requires a standard +48V phantom power supply from your audio interface, preamp, or mixing console to operate. 
      How does the TLM 103 compare to the classic U 87?
      The TLM 103 uses a large-diaphragm capsule directly from the legendary U 87. It provides an amazing modern, pristine sound with a gentler presence boost and significantly lower self-noise, at a fraction of the cost.
      Is this microphone genuine and covered by a warranty?
      Absolutely. Carlingford Music Centre is an authorised Australian Neumann dealer. Your purchase is 100% genuine and comes with the full official manufacturer's warranty.
      Do you ship the Neumann TLM 103 outside of Australia?
      Yes. We offer reliable, trackable worldwide shipping. International shipping rates and delivery timeframes will be calculated automatically at checkout based on your delivery address.

      The TLM 103 has set new standards for technical performance, too. With an incredibly low self-noise of only 7 dB-A , it is among the quietest microphones available. Its high sensitivity of 23 mV/Pa, ensures ultra-low noise even with budget preamps and audio interfaces or vintage tube equipment. At the same time, the TLM 103 can handle sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without preattenuation. Its vast dynamic range of 131 dB makes the TLM 103 a very easy-to-use studio microphone as it will capture anything from a soft whisper to a thunderous bass drum without adding noise or distortion.

      As a member of Neumann’s TLM series, the TLM 103 works with a transformerless output stage, which minimises transmission losses and ensures a very immediate, uncoloured sound, true to the original, as well as a clear, powerful bass response, even at the highest signal levels.

      Applications
      The TLM 103 was primarily designed for project studios and broadcast use, but due to its outstanding performance was soon embraced by renowned studios as a more modern sounding alternative to the U87 e.g. for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amps, and piano. The TLM 103 is also often used as a spot mic in classical recordings e.g. for cello and double bass.
