Neumann TLM 103 Stereo Set
The Neumann TLM 103 Stereo Set delivers two matched TLM 103 large-diaphragm condenser microphones — world-renowned for their natural tone, ultra-low self-noise, and pristine clarity Designed for professional stereo recording, this set provides perfect imaging and sonic precision for classical, orchestral, and acoustic ensemble recordings, as well as for vocals and broadcast applications
Each TLM 103 is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern and a large-diaphragm capsule derived from the legendary Neumann U 87 The result is an open, detailed sound with a gentle presence boost around 6 kHz, giving vocals and instruments a natural brilliance without harshness With an exceptionally low self-noise of only 7 dB-A and a maximum SPL of 138 dB, the TLM 103 captures everything from the most delicate performances to the most dynamic sound sources with stunning accuracy
Thanks to Neumann’s transformerless circuitry, the TLM 103 offers a transparent signal path and wide dynamic range, making it a trusted choice for critical recording tasks Handcrafted in Germany with Neumann’s legendary precision, the TLM 103 Stereo Set is a reference-grade solution for engineers seeking unmatched performance, consistency, and reliability
