A Modern Milestone in Neumann's TLM Line
The TLM 107 is part of Neumann's TLM ("TransformerLess Microphone") series, renowned for its transformerless circuitry offering transparency and deep bass without limitation. Positioned as a modern alternative to historic icons, it provides multi-pattern flexibility and cutting-edge performance in an accessible format, while maintaining the premium sonic aesthetic characteristic of the brand.
Who Is It For and What Is It For?
Designed for professional studios as well as home studio creators, the TLM 107 excels on vocals, voice-overs, acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, and percussion. Its range of polar patterns allows for close miking with maximum leakage rejection, up to MS or Blumlein stereo pairs with a second unit. It thus meets the needs of engineers seeking a "source-faithful" capture that leaves all mixing options open.
Flexibility and Control for Sound Capture
The TLM 107 combines five polar patterns, two low-cut filters (40/100 Hz), and two switchable pads (-6/-12 dB) to instantly adapt the response to the source and acoustics. Even without a pad, it handles up to 141 dB SPL without clipping, ensuring intact transients on drums, brass, or powerful amps. Its transformerless electronics deliver an open sound, precise stereo image, and full bass transmission without unwanted coloration.
Compared to the fixed-pattern TLM 103, the TLM 107 offers significantly greater versatility thanks to its five polar patterns and onboard controls, while maintaining an extremely low self-noise for exemplary clean recordings.

Questions frequently asked
What polar patterns are available on the Neumann TLM 107 Black?
Five polar patterns are selectable: omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-eight. The figure-eight pattern notably allows for MS or Blumlein stereo configurations with a second unit.
Is the TLM 107 suitable for recording drums or brass?
With a maximum acoustic pressure of 141 dB SPL without a pad, this microphone can handle very loud sources. The -6 dB and -12 dB attenuators increase this limit to 153 dB SPL.
What high-pass filters does this Neumann mic offer?
Two cutoff frequencies are available: 40 Hz and 100 Hz. These allow reduction of unwanted low frequencies depending on the source or room acoustics.
What connectivity and power supply are required?
The output is via an XLR connector. The provided description does not specify the required power supply characteristics.
Is the self-noise suitable for voice-over and detailed recording?
An equivalent noise level of 10 dB(A) is specified. The frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 22 kHz, and the large diaphragm is designed for vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, and strings. A mic clamp is included.
