I have experienced overload on my TLM 103 while recording vocals. I'm going to an Apogee Mini-Me with a soft limit curve on. However it seems the only solution is having the singer move a few steps back. I believe this is due to capsule overload, even though its overload capability is somewhere near 138 dB SPL. What should I do to prevent this? I know this model has no pad switch.
Has anyone purchased a Neumann TLM127 mic yet? How does it compare to it's bigger siblings ie: the M149 tube mic, & U 87 mics? Does it have any noticable coloration to it? What's it's personality like? Is this a decent mic worth purchasing?
I just upgraded to a Neumann TLM 103 mic and now I want to get a better preamp to go with it. I have an ART Tube MP preamp, which sounds better than my Mackie pre’s. The most important thing for us is to get a good sound for female lead vocals, as my wife is the songwriter and generally sings the lead.
If you could only have one for Vocals, which one would you choose?
Hi
Can you guys point me toward a good store that has some good prices (the lowest :D ) for these two mics?
I'm going to have one (or both depending on the price) carried overseas by a friend who's going to be on vacation in the US, so I'll ship them to some of my relatives's US adrress and he'll pick the package up for me.
Thanx
L.G.
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought Neumann TLM-103 mic but I am wondering what is your opinion of it and more importantly how it compares to RODE NTK mike. I initially wanted to buy NTK but they didn't have one in stock so I got the Neumann. Should I return it and get NTK (they still don't have it in stock yet!)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
tnx,
chris
hello, i need an advice, i need to buy a preamp for vocals my mic is Neumann tlm 103, voicemaster pro is nice ? my budget is $800
thanks
Would it be wise to purchase a U87 as the main LD condenser 'workhorse'... or have the flexibility of utilizing the TLM 103 AND the AT4033? (I know I could get 2 of each for the price of the U87!)This is an important decision for me; my business partner and I will be opening up our 24 track digital studio (Mackie D8B/HDR) by the end of September, and this is the only gray area...
Hi.
I am thinking of buying a Neumann TLM 103 condenser,I am very happy with my RøDE NT 1 for vocals but I need something better to get my nylon acoustic guitar (solos,classical stuff,brazillian music etc...) .
I have a cheapo mic preamp(Behringer Ultragainer) but it works fine for my bedroom studio:
733 G4
Tascam US-428
anyone have a particular preference, esp. on male vocals?
thanks
