I got this as many people use it as an industry standard. I'm happy with the warmer sound it gives me on my guitar tracks. It's great for vocals as well and look forward to using this microphone for a long while!

A MODERN CLASSICThe TLM 103 is a cardioid microphone with a large diaphragm condenser capsule derived from the classic K67/87 capsule of the legendary Neumann U 87. However, the TLM 103 has a slightly more modern voicing with a wide presence boost for frequencies above 5 kHz. Its very direct yet refined sound is perfect for vocals, and solo instruments that pop out of the mix without effort. |
TECHNICAL EXCELLENCEIts high sensitivity of 23 mV/Pa, ensures ultra low noise even with budget preamps and audio interfaces or vintage tube equipment. At the same time, the TLM 103 can handle enormous sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB without the need for preattenuation. Its vast dynamic range of 131 dB makes the TLM 103 a very easy to use studio microphone as it will capture anything from a soft whisper to a thunderous bass drum without adding noise or distortion. |
EXTREMELY VERSATILEThe TLM 103 was primarily designed for project studios and broadcast use, but due to its outstanding performance was soon embraced by renowned studios as a more modern-sounding alternative to the U87 e.g. for speech, vocals, drums, guitar amps, and piano. The TLM 103 is also often used as a spot mic in classical recordings e.g. for cello and double bass. |

| power source | Corded Electric | Corded Electric | Corded Electric | +48v Phantom Power Required | The SM7B does NOT require phantom power and is not affected if phantom power is present on its mixer input. Note that some third-party external pre-amps commonly used with the SM7B DO require phantom power to operate, however. At least 60dB of gain is recommended to get that iconic warm and balanced tone most commonly associated with the SM7B. | Corded Electric |

Quality so good it broke my PC
(Note: I purchased this not with Amazon but still want to review it here.)My PC is fine, but on two occasions it was not. After recording with this premium mic and exporting as a WAV file, I tried listening back through headphones. For a couple seconds there was that desired, pristine sound, but then the recording froze and my laptop started making a horrible noise that would not go away without me clicking either Shutdown or Restart.I honestly believe that this happened because of the high quality, but anyway, there can hardly be any arguing against the sound of this mic.I want to give it 4 stars just because something about it seems superfluous, like it doesn't need to be this good. =D In the end, I ask myself not whether the mic was worth the money, but whether my voice is worth the mic! The answer that comes back to me is that something several hundreds of dollars less would probably be good enough for me. Oh well. This is used by celebrities for a reason.

After taking almost a month to arrive, I was getting very worried, but have to say that the mic did eventually arrive and was what was promised and it was an excellent price.
Neumann 103 mic, excellent product.
