The TLM 103 features a large diaphragm cardioid capsule based on the K 87, with transformerless circuitry for ultra-low self-noise and high sound pressure level capability. It offers a flat frequency response up to 5 kHz, with a 4 dB presence boost above, and provides excellent rear sound attenuation and high feedback suppression. The wire mesh headgrille protects against plosive and pop noise, making it ideal for live and studio settings.
