Neumann TLM 103 Condensor Microphone

Sounds so beautiful. Really really picks up everything, so make sure your room is treated or quiet.

Item took almost one month to arrive. However, when it did arrive, it was all in good condition and represented excellent value for money. I previously gave a one star review….because I was thinking that I would never see the mic…but then it arrived and I have to say: Well done. It even came with the Neumann Shock Mount, which I wasn’t expecting. A great mic, for a great price. Thank you. (I’d give it 5 stars if it hadn’t taken 4 weeks to arrive.)

I use it for voice overs and recording acoustic (Martin) guitars. This microphone has a good reputation and it is well earned. Is it worth more than the MXL? Maybe. I'm not professional enough to tell the difference. But this is a warm mic that has good dynamic range. I really like it.

Got what was advertised, no problems so far other than a minor scuff in wood box

First, despite what it says in the description, this is not a "dynamic" mic. It is a condenser mic. I just bought my second one, so now I have a pair for drum overheads or vibraphone, anything where you want to capture a stereo image. This mic sounds excellent on everything I have tried it on, even a guitar amp where I would generally use a dynamic like an SM-57. I think it's a great bang for the buck and I recommend it highly.
