Low-noise version of a true classic

The Neumann TLM 103 – shown here in its nickel finish – is widely considered to be a modern update of the classic Neumann U87, which is no coincidence: Like the renowned studio legend itself, the "transformerless microphone" TLM 103 is also a large-diaphragm condenser microphone and uses a very similar capsule. In comparison, however, it offers a much lower noise profile and is more resistant to clipping – as well as being less expensive. However, not much has been changed with regard to the high-grade circuit design and the elegant exterior. Thanks to its fixed cardioid polar pattern and a moderate boost in the presence frequency band, the TLM 103 is perfect for singers – in fact, voices of all kinds – who want to make themselves heard in a modern mix. However, many acoustic instruments such as guitars, pianos, wind instruments, or drum kits will also benefit from this mic's precise and well-defined sound reproduction.

From a whisper to a shout

The Neumann TLM 103 will dazzle listeners with its exceptional technical specifications: It has an outstanding self-noise level of only 7dB-A, and its sensitivity is 23mV/Pa. Provided the recording space is acoustically optimised, even the quietest instruments or a gentle whisper can be recorded without audible background noise – if there is any noise in the signal path, it's certainly not the microphone! At the other end of the spectrum, the TLM 103 can handle sound pressure levels of up to 138dB. Without any pre-attenuation, it transmits loud horns, drums, or cranked guitar amps with absolutely zero distortion. The fact that the bass range remains defined and powerful even at these volumes is due in part to the electronically balanced output stage, which replaces the traditional transformer.

Perfect for the studio

The pricing of the Neumann TLM 103 means it is aimed squarely at ambitious amateur musicians and smaller project studios. The microphone genuinely does perform more than respectably even with less expensive pre-amps and audio interfaces; as such, it is very popular with radio and podcast studios, where the deeply sonorous voice recordings created by the proximity effect can really shine. When combined with high-quality outboard gear, the Neumann TLM 103 is a welcome "special guest" in many professional sound studios, used both for vocals and for miking up instruments. With an acoustic response that emphasises the presence band while remaining rounded and fully defined, the Neumann TLM 103 continues to be one of the most popular microphones for actors, voice artists, and advertisers.

About Neumann

Georg Neumann GmbH was founded in Berlin in 1928 - and is certainly one of the most famous brands of microphones in the world. However, this is not the company's only sphere of activity. For many years, the versatile inventor and pioneer Georg Neumann was also involved with vinyl record cutting machines and the development of rechargeable batteries. The technology he developed is still the basis for this now crucial and rapidly expanding market. What is more, for many years the company built highly personalised sound control systems for broadcast studios/theatres and concert halls, and for several years also studio monitors. In 1991, Neumann became part of the Sennheiser group of companies, and in 1999 was the first German company to receive the Technical Grammy for their overall technical achievements.

A great stage presence too

According to the company's own literature, the Neumann TLM 103 is also capable of producing great sound at live concerts – although it might be better to limit its use in live setups to Classical concerts, acoustic gigs, and theatrical performances, so that the precious Neumann doesn't get damaged if things get rowdy! Either way, the Neumann TLM 103 genuinely is an excellent choice for many instruments – be it live or in the studio – because of the way it gently boosts the frequency range between 5 and 15kHz. It works wonderfully as an outrigger for the cello or double bass, and is also suitable for upright and grand pianos and other acoustic instruments. Despite being primarily designed for speaking and singing, the Neumann TLM 103 could also be usefully employed as a drum overhead, or even in front of a guitar or bass amplifier.

In the spotlight

K103

It has been widely reported that the microphone capsule in the Neumann TLM 103 is the same as in the U87. However, this is only a half-truth – quite literally. The capsule of the U87, which is variously referred to as a K67 or K87, consists of two diaphragms, one at the front and one at the back, so that the mic can also be used for other polar patterns (omnidirectional, figure-of-eight). The TLM 103, on the other hand, uses only the front half of the K67/87, making it solely capable of the cardioid pattern. However, since many U87 owners use their microphone as a cardioid in most cases anyway, this isn't too much of a downside. By reducing its inner workings to the bare essentials, the electronic circuitry has also been made simpler and thus cheaper to produce. Of course, this does nothing to detract from the famous Neumann quality.

Neutralität, Bandbreite und Rauscharmut

Jan-Friedrich 04.06.2010

Das trafolose Mikrofon ist die Referenz schlechthin, wenn es um Bandbreite, ungestörten Frequenzgang (bei Ansprache von vorn) und Rausch- und Verzerrungsarmut geht. In einer zu beginnenden Mikrofonsammlung ist es ein gutes "erstes" Mikrofon, wenn man sich nicht auf die spezifischen Klangfarben bestimmter Modelle festlegen, aber doch das Beste vom besten haben will.

Gute Resultate auch im Paar bei XY-Mikrofonierung. Mein erstes TLM 103 muss jetzt zwar nach 10 Jahren erstmals in den Service, aber das ist ja nicht ehrenrührig, wenn der Hersteller eine Service-Werkstatt in berlin betreibt.

Zu den Features: Nun ja, es hat keinen Schalter, und den braucht man auch nicht. Den Hochpass gibt´s ja wohl am Preamp. Wenn allerdings eine Reparatur fällig wird wie bei meinem etwa 12 Jahre alten ersten TLM 103, zahlt man schon mal für Kapseltausch und ein kleines Ausbeulen des Korbs 724,71 Euro.

Geldschneiderei

Daniel071 15.12.2011

Zugegeben, die akustischen Eigenschaften sind gut. Mein TLM, dass ich 2008 gekauft habe, ist aber nun defekt. Ein Elektroniker hat festgestellt, dass die Qualität der elektronischen Bauteile absolut minderwertig ist und das Niveau von Massen-Konsumelektronik hat. Weiterhin ist alles vergossen, so dass eine Reparatur nicht möglich ist, wäre ohnehin nicht einfach bei SMD-Technik und mehrschichtigen Leiterbahnen mit aufgedruckten Widerständen. Und für diesen Schrott, d.h. die Platinen als Ersatzteil, verlang Neumann nun 405 Euro, was schlichtweg unverschämt ist.
Schaltungsunterlagen sind auch nicht zu bekommen. Da ich den unverschämten Preis für die Ersatzteile nicht zu zahlen bereit bin, wird mein Elektroniker nun selbst eine Schaltung entwerfen und herstellen.

Fazit: Abzuraten!!!
