Frequently Asked Questions

While based on the U87 capsule design, the TLM 103 is brighter and more transparent, lacking the U87's inherent warmth and vintage vibe.
Yes, the EA1 mt shock mounts are well-engineered and secure, and the aluminum case is sturdy and provides excellent protection for transport.
A clean, transparent preamp with ample headroom is ideal; something like a Neve 1073 or Millennia Media HV-3R will really let the TLM 103 mt’s detail shine.
