Neumann elegant KMS-105-Silver-New
$1,065.00 Add to cartCrystal-clear Onstage Vocals
Neumann is world renowned for their legacy of fantastic studio microphones, but with the elegant KMS-105, they make their uncompromising standards available in an affordable, high-quality handheld mic. The exquisite design includes an elastic shock-mounted super-cardioid capsule with three metal basket layers providing a robust method of getting rid of those frustrating plosives. Not only is it a luxurious-looking mic; but it’s also very lightweight, making it a pleasure to use in live performances. When compared to other handheld vocal mics, the KMS 105 offers superior resolution with extended frequency response and accurate transient detail. Sibilance problems common to other handheld condenser mics are eliminated. No foam is used in the basket, thus eliminating any “clouding” or “muffling” of the sound. If you’re ready to step up the Neumann of handhelds, Sweetwater has your mic: the KMS-105.
Superior parts and design: superior sound
The K 105 capsule used in the Neumann KMS-105 was developed from the K 50, found in the KMS 150, KM 150, and KM 185 microphones. The K 105 features a supercardioid pattern, achieved by specially modifying the response of the K 50 pressure gradient transducer. The frequency response characteristic is developed in the acoustic realm, allowing for an accurate representation of transient details found in music and speech, and thus transmitting a very “open” and detailed capture of the human voice. Due to the tight supercardioid polar pattern and the coloration-free off-axis response, a very high level of gain before feedback is achieved. This polar pattern offers the highest degree of isolation while still allowing for a generous “sweet spot” in front of the microphone.
Neumann KMS-105 Features:
- Condenser microphone for crystal clear highs and deep lows
- Neumann sound on stage
- Excellent transparency for vocals/speech
- Without off-axis coloration
- Transformerless output
- Supercardioid polar pattern with excellent feedback rejection

Neumann TLM 103 Anniversary Edition Stereo Pair – Nickel-.New Guaranteed Authentic with Mogami Gold Cables
$4,165.00 Add to cartThe Neumann TLM 103 Anniversary large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic boasts a capsule drawn from the U 87 and transformerless circuitry – not to mention classic Neumann sound! The TLM 103 Anniversary is a great mic for any pro or project studio use and, due to its minimal self-noise, it’s been used for classical recordings with a wide dynamic range, sampling (especially for very low amplitude sources), and Foley work. This mic is also robust enough for the live stage, as Jack White has employed the TLM 103 to mic amps in live situations.
Cardioid pattern to limit bleed
The cardioid TLM 103 Anniversary utilizes a tried-and-true transformerless circuit found in high-end Neumann microphones to achieve its otherwise unattainable low self-noise and the highest sound pressure level transmission possible. By focusing on this pattern – used in most recording situations – the attenuation of unwanted rear sound has been optimized. Off-axis sounds are rendered naturally while isolation is increased. This also leads to high feedback suppression when the microphone is used in live situations or where loudspeaker playback is a factor. Also available as a single TLM 103 mic with a wooden box and stand mount, in a matte black finish, or as a single TLM 103 Anniversary, complete with an aluminum carrying case and shock mount.Classic design for transparent sound
The TLM 103 Anniversary is addressed from the front, marked with the red Neumann logo on the microphone body. The K 103 large diaphragm capsule is based on the K 87, well-known from the U 67/U 87 microphones. The capsule has a flat frequency response up to about 5 kHz, and above that, a wide flat 4 dB presence boost. The large wire mesh head grille protects the capsule from plosive sounds and effectively prevents pop noises. These characteristics are achieved without resorting to corrective resonance effects. Therefore, the TLM 103 maintains an excellent impulse response and reproduces the details of music and speech without coloration. With the incredibly low self-noise level of the TLM 103, even the smallest signals are reproduced basically noise-free. As it is capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 138dB without distortion, the TLM 103 provides a dynamic range of 131dB (A-weighted).Neumann’s “TLM” technology
The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal.Compare -

Neumann TLM 107 Multipattern Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
- Flat frequency response delivers true-to-life sound
- Five polar patterns for recording in any setup you can imagine
- A simple navigation switch provides access to all essential settings
Flat frequency response delivers true-to-life sound
Neumann knows that the key to capturing sound accurately lies in a frequency response that won’t unnecessarily color your sound. That’s why they developed a special capsule for the TLM 107 based on their D-01 model, which provides you with an impressively flat frequency response all the way up to 8kHz. A slight presence boost thereafter brings out vocal clarity, without either inviting sibilance or brittleness. At the same time, the TLM 107’s large diaphragm smooths over some sonic roughness and adds the silky smoothness Neumann mics are famous for.
Five polar patterns for recording in any setup you can imagine
There are as numerous mic techniques as there are microphone applications, and your Neumann TLM 107 will be ready for any of them. Far from the classic condenser microphones, Neumann is known for, the TLM 107 is thoroughly geared for modern studio work, in which you might need a cardioid pattern to isolate a vocalist one moment and an omni room mic for ambiance the next. In all, the TLM 107 gives you five patterns including omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure 8, plus the steps in between. And best of all, it sounds totally consistent from setting to setting, allowing you to get the polar pattern you need, without compromising on sound.
A simple navigation switch provides access to all essential settings
Who really enjoys fumbling with inset toggles and buttons you have to push with a bent paper clip? Neumann makes accessing all of the TLM 107’s settings easy, thanks to the brilliantly simple central navigation switch. Using just a single control, you can select from the TLM 107’s three highpass and three pad settings, or switch between all five of its polar patterns. LED indicators provide visual feedback for your settings, and all of the controls are on the back of the microphone to avoid distracting your talent.

49 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone at a Glance:- Ideal mic for vocal applications
- Linear frequency response with slight boost above 2kHz
- Transformerless design for low noise
- Acoustically neutral headgrille and elastic inner mountings
- Includes EA 3 shock mount
Ideal mic
for vocal applicationsDuring the development phase, the TLM 49’s sound was adjusted in extensive practical tests, so as to make it ideal particularly for vocal and speech recording. However, in addition, it is also suitable for instrumental applications in professional production studios and demanding home recordings.
Linear
frequency response with slight boost above 2kHzThe TLM 49 uses the famous K 47 capsule, which was also used in the M 49 and the U 47. The capsule has a linear frequency response up to the upper midrange. Above 2kHz there is a gentle presence boost up to 3dB. The large-diaphragm capsule of the TLM 49 provides a cardioid directional characteristic with a tendency toward supercardioid, due to the special capsule construction. Following the example of the M 49, high frequencies are more directional. The capsule diameter is 34 mm.
Transformerless
design for low noiseThe letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection, and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal. Noise signals which affect the balanced modulation line are therefore effectively suppressed. The TLM 49 can operate at sound pressure levels of up to 114dB without distortion, and provides a dynamic range of 102dB (A-weighted).
Acoustically
neutral head grille and elastic inner mountingsThe TLM 49 capsule is enclosed by a large microphone headgrille, which is acoustically very open and is hence neutral with regard to the sound. The entire interior structure is mounted elastically, to prevent the transmission of structure-borne noise. In addition, the TLM 49 capsule is mounted with a rubber shock mount.
Includes EA
3 shock mountDue to the wide frequency response, the TLM 49 can also transmit extremely low-frequency signals without coloration. Of course this means that the microphone is also sensitive to noise signals such as vibration noise and wind noise in this frequency range. The TLM 49 is therefore supplied with the elastic suspension EA 3, which effectively protects the microphone from structure-borne noise. If the microphone is addressed at extremely close range, pop screen PS 15 or PS 20 a can be used in front of the microphone to provide protection against plosive sounds.
