The TLM 103 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from Neumann is a cardioid,
directional microphone that features low self-noise and high sound pressure level transmission.
The capsule, derived from that used in the Neumann U 87, has a cardioid pattern, is acoustically well-balanced, and provides great attenuation of signals from the rear.
The TLM 103 is equipped with a large-diaphragm capsule with a cardioid pattern. By focusing on this pattern, the attenuation of unwanted rear soundhas been optimized.
This also leads to a high feedback suppression when the microphone is used in live situations or where loudspeaker playback is a factor.
and has a flat frequency response up to about 5 kHz, and above that, a wide flat 4 dB presence boost.
The large, wire mesh head-grille protects the capsule from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noises.
These characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects.
The microphone maintains a great impulse response and reproduces details of music and speech without coloration.

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.
The TLM 103 is addressed from the front. The K 103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87,
