Our take on the Neumann TLM 103
The Neumann TLM 103 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic with an XLR output, suited to streamers who want a studio voice mic. It has held a tracked $1,295 across 11 points between August 9 and October 19, 2026, so no sale has appeared.
It uses transformerless circuitry and a capsule the listing links to the U 87. Its self-noise is very low, which helps with quiet speech. It arrives in a wooden box, and the cardioid pattern limits bleed. XLR means you need an interface or mixer to use it. Retailer ratings average 4.6 across 89.
- Very low self-noise per the listing
- Cardioid pattern limits room bleed
