It’s a great mic but note to beginners. Recording environment + recording technique are way more important than the mic. Tlm103 is worth buying but you should invest into sound treatment first.
You could throw this mic in a closet surrounded by clothes, or drape a moving blanket over your head and get amazing results, without "tuning your room"... There's also reflection filters, mattresses, broadband absorption you could put around the mic, so many easy moves with any budget.
Honestly, there's no need for an analog compressor, in my opinion... I would just pick up one a UAD apollo and run it through a preamp model (I like the Neve stuff), and then follow it with 1176 model in the console. $$
I’ve had this mic for over 10 years, I’ve cut all my vocals on it even when I had much more expensive mics around. For me it’s a fucking game changer. You don’t like how I talk about the mic? I don’t care.
Harsh, thin and sibilant are words that come to mind for this mic. I have nothing against cheap microphones they have their place, but please don't pretend this is a "game changer"... price aside, there is a very long list of microphones that sound better than this.
This mic is no joke. Got it last year for $700 on reverb. Sounds incredible on anything you put in front of it
That's such a good deal for a mic like this...
Wow $700 what a steal. & for some reason, the older the mic gets, the better it sounds (to me personally)
@@Kay_Locc Yea, Neumann just makes quality stuff!
My mic is the Lewitt LCT-640TS! It’s a beast!
Nice, never used one.
I was looking at this or the 107 . I’m leaning more towards this tho
The 107 is pretty much a podcasting/ radio mic.
I'm buying this mic in a couple of days
Great investment.

Yeah i have a whole treated room, preamp. You could hear a pin drop in the room with this mic its so sensitive. Closet can be good tho
Basically almost every new microphone doesn't have a transformer these days. This won't work well in an untreated room.
a transformer has nothing to do with a microphone working well in an untreated room or not...
What do you think if this mic vs a c4i4xls?
This mic is much more versatile... It has a model of the C414 that is insanely good
What’s a good analog compressor to go with it for hip hop and r &b

@@RadiumRecordsHollywoodThat’s Good Because I Have A UAD Interface 👀
Game Changer? Sorry that is just clickbait. Nonsense.
There are far better mics than the 103, this is the budget version of Neumann

@@ignacedhont9816for the price, I would disagree with you 100%
@@ignacedhont9816 don’t be jealous because you can’t afford it. It’s an amazing mic
