Neumann TLM 103 Stereo Set Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphones, Stereo Pair

Having quickly become one of the biggest successes in Neumann's history, the TLM 103 delivers pristine, clear sound; a modern update on the classic U87. It's a transformerless cardioid condenser microphone with a gentle presence boost for a stunningly direct sound with stunning definition and ultra-low noise. This particular package, the TLM 103 Stereo Set, consists of a matched pair of TLM 103 mics in a Nickel finish, with included EA 1 microphone stand shock mount, and shipped with a stylish and durable aluminum carry case.
