There don't seem many videos on this subject, so I thought I'd make one. In other videos, some of the differences between microphones, and even microphones of radically different prices, was actually quite subtle. To be honest, I usually have a goto mic for recording double basses - an AKG 414, so in this video I deliberately looked for alternatives.

Does anyone knows what’s the best mic preamp to match with my tlm 103 "condenser mic"?
I have a Apollo twin duo but not getting
a good vocal recording from It

Jking.

Hello,

I am going to buy a microphone for the voice, just have to choose between Neumann's TLM 102 and TLM 103.
Any suggestion?
Are them suitable also to record brass instruments, or the TLM 107 would be better?

Thank you.

I have a small home studio and I am looking to purchase my first high end mic. It will be running directly into the preamps on my Apogee Duet interface. I will use it mainly for recording my Taylor GS5 and Vocals and will occasionally use it for piano as well. I have about 1000$ to spend and I am looking for the best mic.

So I attached two different recordings.

Both recordings are the same guy, with no mixing added, and are using the same mic/preamp combination.

Wow, I had no idea until I saw this clip. Neumann TLM 103d ... add a starter kit (ad da converter, limiter and compressor) and S/PDIF or AES into your DAW. I didn't hear him talk about a mic preamp? Is this all combined into the mic?
I didn't realize there was a bottleneck that happened with analog/mics that was anything to be concerned about?

Aloha Guys... Finally putting together a professional studio with some quality gear.

Please give me your opinions on the Best All-In-One Preamp/Compressor/Limiter/Gate For TLM 103.

If it makes any difference, I'm running Sonar 8 Producer with an RME Fireface 800 Interface.

I appreciate all responses given. =)

This might sound like a silly question (as i know Neumann mics are legendary microphones), but I am looking to buy a new mic for my studio. I have tried the RODE K2 and I really liked the sound of it on vocals, it sounded a much warmer than my SE electronics mic.

Hi there!

Has any one tested Newmann's TLM 103 D (Solution-D) microphone with the Digi 002. Please let me know how you have tested/ set it up.

Please explain what are the options in connecting the Mic with Digi? and which one is best for quality. It looks like AES 42 receiver is required between the Mic & Mixer/Digi 002.

Compatable with PT HD/LE/MP V7.3 or higher

I just purchased a very lightly used TLM-103 from a friend to replace my wonky MXL V6. The Marshall is fine for it's price but it took a nasty tumble and now has a lovely dent. After about 5 or 10 minutes it will just decrease in volume until eventually it's dead quiet.
