Neumann XLR Professional Dynamic Microphone - TLM 103 MT. Microphone still works pretty good and I've been using it for vocal work for about..2 years? Not bad. Can take offers Comes with the Shock Mount+ Wooden Box --no clip Selling it so I have extra money aside to help me upgrade my set up! It's a great mic and used in studios throughout. Usually people prefer the TLM 103 when they can't get the u87. It works great on low voices although beware if you believe your voice is really sibilant. Also I really recommend that you acoustically treat your room before you get this mic or even just a little bit. Condensers are very sensitive and will pick up all your room tone. Selling as is.

Neumann TLM 103 Professional Microphone
Since many years, I have had an eye on different Neumann microphones, especially old types, where the prices are sometimes beyond reachable levels... Using Schoeps and also some RODE types and also Russian Oktave for special purposes, I do think, that the big membran microphones add somehow a "coloration" to the recording and I would dislike it personally, where I do pay great attention to make clean and uncolored recordings with my analog equipment, having since mid of 1970'ies. The purchase of the new type TLM-103, which is pricewise very attractive and having still all know-how of well known Neumann technologie did try to change my mind, where the sound is really clean with a little presense which can be perhaps needed for some recording sessions of ladies, where the soprans for examplke tends to have a little more sound-energy available on the high frequency side of the spectrum. In short, I will add, that TLM103 is a really nice microphone and I am positively impressed after roughly 30 years of standing against this companies production, where my personal feeling was, that the price (of several thpusand USD's...) is exxagerated, but I see, that the company has now achieved an acceptable level of the price around 1000.-USD, which obvioulsy has pushed me to buy this microphone and test it personally.Read full review

Great Mic for the Price but not a small U87!
The TLM 103 is a great mic if your on a budget. It will definitely deliver a great result specially when recording male vocalists. It is not a U87 on cardioid mode. The U87 is mellower and not as harsh as the 103. As you overdub vocals you will find yourself looking for a de-esser or reaching for EQ, so be careful with that boost on the 3.5k. It makes it nice on a couple tracks, but it will make you unhappy as you stack more tracks along the session. Great mic for project studios specially if paired with a tube preamp. Still not as versatile as the AKG 414... The lack of multi-pattern figure is something you should consider before buying a TLM 103. It is a great mic but I would not depend exclusively on it to work with. My suggestion: If this is your first mic, go with the 414 and save money to get a TLM 103 later on. You will not regret. You will have versatility with the AKG and some extra character with the Neumann. Remember, any major recording studio(and I have worked in some) will have 414s and U87s... I still have not found ONE that uses the TLM 103. Still, a relatively decent deal for $700(used) Ohhh... one more thing, please do not settle for a cheaper copy of the Neumann Shockmount... When planning to buy a TLM 103, have the EA1 Elastic Suspension Shockmount included in your budget. It is worth every penny. LPRead full review

Best sounding microphone I own.
This beats every other copy of a "Neuman" that I've ever come across. Spend a little bit more and have the real deal. If nothing else, get the TLM 102. The TLM 102 isn't as full and warm as the TLM 103, but, it beats all of the Chines copies I've tried.

great mic
sounds great on electric guitar, vocals, drums. high spl, handles a snare. i like to use a little eq n tame around 10k on vocals. its a little sensitive to placement so play with it til you find the sweet spot.
